> Bring up violent tendencies or anything to do with culture, and you'll be demonized.
Is not all discussions of race/culture. Whose violent tendencies? What does OP mean by culture here? Unclear, it’s left to your imagination.
Should it read:
> Bring up violent tendencies or anything to do with culture [of teaching children violence] and you'll be demonized.
Or should it read:
> Bring up violent tendencies or anything to do with [violent people’s] culture, and you'll be demonized.
Or should it read:
>Bring up violent tendencies or anything to do with [you know who I mean’s] culture, and you'll be demonized.
Why does OP expect to be demonized? Maybe because these are common racist shibboleths, in the same vein as someone trying to tell you about threats to “western civilization”.
Idk if OP actually meant it that way. Their meaning was vague, which is how these things work. A good tule of thumb with strangers on the internet though is that if it quacks like a duck it might be a duck.
