re: #46 Rocky-in-Connecticut

ahh.. the old racist notion of the “Western Civilization” fallacy -as if there were such a homogeneous thing. Try telling an Italian he’s the same culture as a Swede. “Western Civilization” is the lazy intellectual path to racism.

Yeah, and you can tell from pictures of white supremacists that their idea of “white culture” is oppressing women, shooting guns and rolling coal. I don’t see them supporting their much vaunted heritage by joining a local Shakespeare troupe, buying a ticket to a Brahms concert, attending lectures on science during the Enlightenment, or learning European folk dances. So much for maintaining their “culture”.
