Within the broad American culture there are numerous subtypes.

I think it is subtypes -- just like there is no "White" culture that all whites belong to and are successful because they do --- to me it seems more that there is a "welfare" subculture that affects people of whatever race or group they're in the same way, there is a "professional class" subculture, a "military" subculture, "democrat politician" subculture, and so on,

Of course there is. We are all racists and do things when no minorities are around. Didn't you see Eddie Murphy's "White Like Me"?

I was trying to point out that there are symbols and identifiers of individuals who want to convey their own specific associations. I chose three that I have noticed with Black people.

I didn't use names/classifications because I don't understand what I see.
