to like or dislike another class, clan or ethnic group could be prejudicial, but this should be different from liking and disliking cultural elements like the music, food, art etc of another group in that you cannot judge them positively or negatively unless you are sufficiently exposed to them. Well, if eating food of another race would disconnect me from my ancestry, then I better don't even take it. Ancestry and race is more important than culture. cultures and peoples of the world are not that separated. cultures always borrows and shares things and all the cultures of the world are interwoven in the larger human perspective. you cannot draw a line and claim that this line should not be trespassed.

I won't agree. If that's the case, then why so many haplogroups are present? Separate haplogroup itself shows that all are not one. However, what can be normalized is a type of classification, like people having similar skull structure or big skull, the shape of eyes (NOT COLOR) are aristocrats across the world, of their respective races. brachid or average forehead would be peasentry class. mesochepalic would be mostly martial races.

I can't disagree on that. what I am trying to say is that cultures are not that closed on themselves. what happens in a culture could strike a cord in another culture, an if you trace cultural components of a certain area or ethnic group you might find alien origin for many of its practices.

I don't like any cultures, because cultures make us limited. I like to read not about cultures, but about persons. It doesn't mean I don't like people and like only famous ones, - no. I don't want to chose. Every culture is interesting by its own way.

I like Scandinavian and generally ancient Germanic cultures because of their heroic outlook on life. I'm quite partial to my own American Southern culture as it is uniquely mine in the same way Italian American culture is to American Charm. Appalachian culture in particular has great interest to me as does the culture of the Antebellum South both in Anglo areas and French Louisiana. Tibetan and far eastern cultures are pretty cool too as were Central American cultures like the Aztecs. The Celts were interesting but studying about them is maddening because they never wrote anything down so we don't know as much about them as we should.
Cultures I don't like are African American ghetto culture as it holds blacks back (pre ghetto African American culture is pretty cool though), New England Yankee culture because New Englanders have historically been a pain in the arse and think they're better than southerners and think they should run everything because they went to some ivy league school. I hate Middle Eastern culture as its been perverted by Islam. I'm not terribly interested in Native North American or "First Nations" people. I don't have anything against them, I just find their culture a bit dull. The Inuit are an exception to the last because I respect people who survive in such harsh conditions. Other cultures I am interested in learning about, especially Indian (the browns not the red) culture because it looks rich and deep.

I'm totally an American. American all the way Does "American" define someone culturally. I don't think so It depends, I think there are many individuals in the U.S that are heavily Americanized and lost most of if not all of their ancestral cultures. This is especially true for Americans of certain backgrounds. For example many Americans are 4th-5th generation Americans. By this point the culture of their ancestors is long gone a lot of the time. Italian-Americans and Irish-Americans seem to have done the best job preserving their cultures to this point out of all European-Americans. Also the culture that exists is a shadow of its former self. It’s a very watered down form unless they are 1st or 2nd generation. Then there is the fact there is specific American cultures like Southern culture, New England culture, West Coast Chicano culture, East Coast Italian American culture, New England (particularly Bostan) Irish-American culture, and so on. If you want to consider those American cultures because they are cultures that are specific to America as influenced by the original cultures that were brought here. They just evolved.

Well, I like the cultures of my real ancestors, who , which my grandfather and father have told me, were from the race of the giants. They were war lords once upon a time, and used to worship weapons, sacrifice goats and cows before heading to the war.
Unfortunately, my race is going to extinct now. It already happened, by all means. Hopefully, the neo superior races invade and destroy these mongrel breeds, called INDIANS.

I guess you are a HINDU, and must have read gita. The indo aryan arjun clearly states on the battlefield, in the sanskritic hymns that if I kill those who look like me, what would I do with this wealth, and females would produce progenies who are confused.
The real aryan cultures were based on anthropology and phenotypes, and the sanskrit meaning of varna meant race. In this, the over lords of those era had a distinctive features and there were martial races or kshatriya 'varna' also.

In this, the over lords of those era had a distinctive features and there were martial races or kshatriya 'varna' also. by birth yeah i am hindu but by thought, i am just confused xD , and i havent read the complete gita, although i have read some excerpts from it, can you give me a link or something so i can veryfy the possible interpretations of the text based on my perception? do you happen to be refering to the part where arjun was struck by inaction in the face of battle?if thats the case i do have a rebuttal also i am not arguing against particular phenotypes positioned in places of power or which race is more "real" when it comes to the defining factors, what i am arguing is the position in society based on phenotype seems to be more biological in nature than a cultural one or something consciously and willingly produced by us like take racism for example, it seems morally wrong but it has biological motivations. the aztecs and incas when they came in contact with the spanish they exchanged pathogens and that resulted in the natives almost getting wiped off the land, so what did nature do to fix that? nature guided our inherit capacity to identify the differences based on phenotypes and introduced it to our tribalistic sense of survival, so that the next time a human meets another human with distinct features his brain triggers the response of racism in order to avoid the exchange of pathogens, regardless of it being a conscious decision or not . so can we draw parallels from this to why certain phenotypes are at the top of the hierarchy? a biological/evolutionary reasoning and when it comes to culture my fundamental point is there is no point in holding race cast creed or phenotypes near and dear to our belief systems because how we percieve them is dependant on how nature usues its logic so that the way the information is interpreted aids us in our survival, and the difference in cultures and belief systems is the manifestation of natures logic our interpretations are biological at their roots and biology differs from area to area, and people naviagte from area to area all the time, understanding this allows us to truly understand the different ways the world can be looked at [this seems to me to be the whole point of this thread which you are missing] what really does unite us is the logic which nature functions on bestowed upon all humans in the conscious format
