"Its not just racial, its cultural."Did you read sentence four in reply #15. I never said or mentioned the word race, however, I did use the word culture.
And thanks, I wrote several papers on this subject many years ago in college, read many articles and some books on the topic and have given the issue a deep amount of thought the past 25 years.
Yes, you did. But obviously people from differently racial groups today have different tastes in food, culture and politics. Maybe its insurmountable or may be its a sign that in a free society, we all don't want to do things the same way; groups as well as individuals deserve to be different. The only flaw I can see with that logic is whites are not allowed to celebrate their own group. There was that rumpus in Connecticut with a Republican Party campus group's white scholarship offer. If diversity is OK for minority groups, why can't the majority celebrate who it is also? Here is where some conservatives are rebelling against our dogma of group equality, if only because of the hypocrisy and cynicism surrounding it.
