[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Where do I complain about being a southern-white male who works inside a hive of southern republicans? :D[/font][/quote]

[quote=John McClane]But hey, I’m totally cool with repeatedly wasting 2 hours of a work day to sit in meetings about how racism is bad and still alive today. I get paid to learn things I already know. And I get free coffee.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]To answer what’s with the race stuff:

You gotta remember I work where people live, and this generation behind me is like made of tissue paper or something. I dunno seems like every year they get more tumultuous.

But don’t get me started on picking a college steeped in slavey/racist history and then bitching about it once enrolled. I’ve heard kids with sweet tuition packages berate the institution and say they’d never let their kids come here.

Like I was lucky I got to go to the college I did in my own hometown and I didn’t agree with a lot of things but I wasn’t about to bite the hand that feeds me.[/quote]

As Seds mentioned, I wouldn't say "white people" here. I'd break it down by nationality. German culture, Polish culture, British culture, perhaps. Places where caucasians have typically lived throughout the centuries. So I'd say I'm steeped in German culture and Scottish culture, since I'm German and Scottish.[/quote]
Would you count American then? (Specifically from United States?) As in, is that a typically "caucasian" culture (obviously statistically it is).[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=Sedai]But really, how is culture related to race again? Isn't culture something that is usually most easily discernible by observing national pastimes and tradition? For instance, I see complaints that people celebrating Cinco de Mayo in certain ways is cultural appropriation (which I think is total bull****, btw), but that is a Mexican holiday, not say, a holiday in Spain, or in Brazil. Mexican is a nationality, and not a race, so... what's with the race stuff?[/quote]

You mean like...creating most of advanced civilization throughout history, several historic art movements, most of the major discoveries in multiple fields of science, baseball, basketball, football, golf, Nascar...wait...Nascar? OK, maybe you are right. ;)[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I’m pretty sure I’m in the clear, tho. It’s like a deep south thing.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]What I said that went viral is uh...kinda...like...totally racist.

Where’s the ducking sweat smile when you need one?!?[/quote]
