Therefore, you're saying that culture is genetic.

Are you saying that culture has nothing to do with race or ethnicity or common ancestry?

That's exactly what I'm saying. Culture and genetics are not the same thing.

The insistence on tying race and culture makes me extremely wary of those who hold that view. Check out Dr. Thomas Sowell's Race and Culture and you'll see what I mean.

There's no way culture is genetic. If I'd been stolen at birth and placed in the middle of an English family in London, I'd probably be very happy eating bland food and mushy peas on "chips".
