Cultural Racism: This term is being used with increasing frequency to draw attention to a shift in the focial point of much racism from physical characteristics such as social customs, manners and behavior, religious and moral beliefs and practices, language, aesthetic values and leisure activities. Whereas post-reflective gut racism seeks to explain and justify racist attitudes in religious or scientific terms, cultural racism attempts the same thing in cultural terms. It involves prejudice against individuals because of their culture. The culture of minority groups is seen as flawed in some way, and thus as standing in the way of their progress. Unlike post-reflective gut racism, however, cultural racism does not involve belief in the existence of any biological incapacity to change. On the contrary, change is exactly what is sought. Minorities are encouraged to turn their back on their own culture and to become absorbed by the majority culture.

So you got all 'em brain cells worked into a frenzy? Good!
1. My contention is that the Western European / American culture has accomplished more good, educated more people, cured more illness, provided more charity to others and established the highest standard of living for the largest number of people in the history of the planet. If you disagree, please list all the other cultures with greater accomplishments.
2. Due to this we (Europe and America) have had huge influxes of immigrants from inferior cultures. Although legal immigrants are welcome, their cultures need to stay where they were. Anyone believing in the superiority of their nasty little 3rd world culture should stay there and enjoy it.
3. Unfortunately (for America), America had slaves. Luckily, for the descendants of those slaves, they landed in the greatest land on Earth, while escaping the murderous hell hole from whence they came. If they have issues with our culture, my suggestion would be to go there. We won't change this one!
Due to these points I consider the W.E. / American culture superior to any other in existence. I refuse to subjugate ours to any other for any reason. Whatever that makes me, that's what I am, including realistic!
I await your reply.
PS: those are my thoughts, not a cut & paste. Now it's time for you to think!
