 I'm sorry, but descent, ancestry, and skin colour is irrelevant to culture. 

Ok... I disagree with about everything you said but...

Descent, ancestry and skin color are irrelevent to culture?

Seriously?

Descent, ancestry and skin color is irerelvent to culture... that's what your going with.

Here is a serious question.... have you ever been to college, and if so... was sociology a required course?

OK, I'm going to stop you here, because apparently you don't understand the difference between correlation and relevance.

No... I do.

Though you know... a correlation defeats your point.  If different cultures are correlated by race...then in fact.... Australia is nowehre near as culturally diverse as the USA, just on the basis of said correlation.

However, your ignoring the fact that skin color has specific expectations... including unconsious ones by pretty much ALL of society.  Race effects your culture and every facet of someones being.   Should it?   No.   Does it...    Yes.

You'd be hardpressed to find somebody anywhere who says race hasn't effected there daily life and culture.   (Well unless there white, but that's the whole white Priveldge thing again.  Something worth reading about to try and cut back on your unconsious racism.  You meaning everybodies.)

You apparently just don't understand sociology.

Cause that's an entire field of study.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociology_of_race_and_ethnic_relations


I would just rather not go into Soc 101, then have to move into Soc of Race and Ethnic Relations.

I would suggest if you live near a college.  Talk to a sociologist.  Or hell, borwse a sociology blog or webpage for a while.

 

Don't take this the wrong way... but it keeps seeming like you try to talk authrotativly on things you haven't really studied, instead taking only your own belief system as the basis of truth, without any actual research about how research and study has been involved in the field you are talking about.

 

As an atheist... that should be a pattern you should find distrubing... as you seem to keep taking these points based purely "on faith."
