Western Culture to me generally defines the cultures of Europe, and their American ancestors. Europe has a rather rich tapestry of culture. As I have family that hail from a multitude of European nations, it makes me interested in them all. ^.^
Right, which would make Western culture pretty damn nonwhite. Shit, the only reason there's a 'black' culture is because a few hundred years of stripped culture and oppression tends to bind oppressed groups together.
Regardless, I should be able to wave my Western Culture flag around just as much as a purple flier without fearing reprisal from hate groups. This inequality and racial tension is a two way street. If we favour one group too strongly, we're just going to end up sowing further division. Especially if there are exceptions to the rule because someone is Caucasian or of "White" ancestry. Just because it might not happen as often, doesn't mean it doesn't happen, and it does mean that these issues are just as important. Otherwise you're viewing the issue from a racially biased perspective, and in my opinion these individuals are just as hateful as their Neo-Nazi/Uber-Conservative compatriots.
Your 'Western Culture flag'? Is that the flag of the EU, or...?
