"White Culture" only exists in the domain of Identity Politics. Remove Identity Politics & you remove the notion of "White Culture", among other socially divisive memes.
- stinkytaco 9y agoThat makes me wonder how many cultures only exist in the realm of identity politics. Certainly there is "culture" that white people are the predominant part of (I'm thinking of the church basement Lutheranism of my childhood as an example), but no one would call that "white culture". What other cultures are a political construction as opposed to a "natural" one?
- gertef 9y ago"White Culture" was invented as a defense of Slavery and Colonialism. Remove racially-based oppression as well as its legacy, and you remove the notion of "White Culture"
- parrellel 9y ago"White Culture" also acts as an easy straw man for those discriminated against and other minorities. Remember there aren't any cultural Eastern Europeans or Appalachians or what have you in the face of the monolith.
