What is "White" culture?
What is "Black" culture?
What is "Latino" culture?
What is "Asian" culture?
What is "Native American" culture?
Is White culture growing up with only Italian food and language or growing up speaking English? Is Black culture Gullah or is it something else? Is Latino culture El Salvadorian or Cuban? Is Asian culture Indian or Chinese?
We make stereotypes and generalizations to ease the stress on our mind when we meet new people and place them in some "category" that we can easily define and that is comprehensible to the mind.
I am very proud of my Scottish, English, and French heritage, yet I don't use that as a reason to prevent myself from learning about other cultures and ideas. Everyone needs to open their minds a little bit. Step into someone else's shoes and view the situation from their POV.
Ok, I'm out. Graduation tomorrow and I need to get some sleep.
Pzzzzzzzzz,
Nate
