OK, so why is their "culture" relevant to anything?
They didn't refer to the victim's "culture" - there's no such thing as a "white culture".

I remember our first "race relations" class at Travis Air Force Base in 1973, maybe a few months into '74, can't remember for sure.
We (whites) were lectured by the instructors that we needed to "understand" the black culture, their music, their manners of speech, etc.
I asked if they also needed to "understand" our music, culture, work ethics, etc.
I was told that wasn't the purpose of the training, in such a manner it was obvious, "sit down and shut up".
Being from northern Vermont and having only met two blacks before entering the military, I thought they were human like everyone else.
I soon found out different.
SOME are fine folks, who just happen to be black.
I am still keep in touch with some friends from that era who happen to be black.
I have a few friends now who happen to be black.
Having witnessed how many blacks can behave, especially when in packs, each one has to prove to me first he is a normal human before I can befriend him (or her).
When the majority of blacks figure out they are Americans like the rest of us and quit carrying this racism chip on their shoulder, we will befriend them.
All that being said, I wish Condi Rice would run for President, and pick Thomas Sowell as her running mate.
Now THAT'S a ticket I could vote for.
