I didn't say I believed this to be true myself. I'm saying that the logic is analogous to the argument in the article. I do think there's something to 'shared experiences' across ethnic groups to an extent, though it probably won't have as strong an effect as sharing a religion, given that religion is at least nominally a choice, and has an explicit ideology backing it. Nevertheless, you see this effect when you see viral memes with captions like "only asian american kids get this" -- obviously these don't apply universally, but there's enough of something there to drive their virality. Hell, sometimes it may be as simple as shared experiences dealing with racism. > Saying that people naturally converge on a shared culture based on their skin color just sounds like thinly veiled racism. I don't really see how you got this from what I said.
