And you missed the part where I said I don't expect people to give up theirs, either.
But when you're on an open ground with more than one culture, and everyone is insisting on their home culture as the way to be treated instead of a common ground culture that everyone is equal in when dealing with each other, then you have problems.
And this is what it's all about. Along with white people being the favored targets for being bigots because they were the most recent race to repeat the mistakes that all races make.
I don't disagree that education is needed; my problem is the assumption that only the white folks need the education, along with the idea that you know maybe we ought to concentrate more on being americans than white black japanese, etc. If this is going to be an equal thing, then everyone needs to get off the damned high horse, everyone needs to go through the education process, and everyone really ought to start thinking in 'we' terms. Instead what we're getting is tide-turning and going the other way.
