#20 Being an expert on YOUR culture
January 23, 2008 by clander
White people are pretty conflicted about their culture. On one hand, they are proud of the art, literature, and film produced by white culture. But at the same time, they are very ashamed of all the bad things in white culture: the KKK, colonialism, slavery, Jim Crow laws, feudalism, and the treatment of native americans.
One way they can make up for it is becoming marginally acquainted with foreign cultures. It is generally acceptable for a white person to learn a few terms in a language spoken primary by non-whites (such as Chinese, Tagalog or Portuguese). They can then use these phrases to order certain ‘more authentic’ dishes in restaurants.
White people can also take passing interest in film, politics, music or art from these countries. When they actually meet someone from that country, or at least who has parents from that country they cannot wait to engage you in all the details that they have learned.
“Have you heard the new Andy Lau CD? It’s awesome!”
It is imperative that you recognize how special and unique this white person is for knowing about your culture. Acceptable responses include “Wow, I’ve never seen a white person order chicken feet,” or “How did you find about that film? I didn’t think they had dubbed it yet.”
These responses will fill white people with that self satisfaction they need. Also, they consider a reminder that they are not racist, which also makes them feel terrific.

Might I just ask…
What culture?
I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Can one million RICH WHITE PEOPLE send me one dollar apiece, puh-lease????
I don’t want money from any Asians, or Blacks or Hispanics. You guys NEED your money. I only want one dollar apiece from RICH WHITE PEOPLE who seem to WASTE their money becoming an expert on their own culture.
Waste it on me instead. Thanks so much! (First person who comments “You ARE a waste.” is a rotten egg. You thought it. I know you did. Stop lying. See? I knew it.)

No.
Sorry folks, I had to say something about this tiny matter. I can’t stand the ignorance of some people….particularly Americans.
The author of this blog is a bit of a DUMBASS! “One way they can make up for it is becoming marginally acquainted with foreign cultures. It is generally acceptable for a white person to learn a few terms in a language spoken primary by non-whites (such as Chinese, Tagalog or *Portuguese*).” — The *Portuguese* are just one of the many diverse variety of Ethnic White/European Groups such as the Welsh, Dutch, Czech, Danish, Lithuanian, Italian, Albanian, Serbian, Georgian, Slovene, etc. and so forth. Hence, THEY (THE PORTUGUESE) ARE WHITE!!!
They are white European/Caucasian but to ignorant white people: sorry we can’t tell you all apart. :-/ My father is from France who grew up near Belgium, two different lands indeed.
Only a complete idiot can’t tell the cultural difference from a Mexican from a Mexican-American, Puerto Rican from a Cuban or Dominican, Central American from South American, or Spanish (from Spain) from a Portuguese or a Galician, Catalan, Aragonese, Leonese and Andalusian. +
The majority of Portuguese speakers hail from Africa, Brazil (50% black or mulato population), and Macau.
Dumbass.
This is the funniest think I’ve read on this blog : stupid “white men” of america arguing about the “whiteness” of portuguese people…
please, talk about things you know, i.e starbuck or american apparel…
thanks
Jason, you ever been to Portugal or Brazil? You are of any Portuguese heritage? And how on earth you knew about the African, Chinese or east Indian communities in Portugal may hold Portuguese heritage themselves? :-/ I wanna test you to see you’re a “Portogee” : Where is Nelly Furtado’s parents from? She’s from Victoria, BC, Canada…but where is her “Portuguese” parents came from??? Answer is next. +
actually hun, no they’re not, portuguese, italian, spanish they’re a mixed race, caused by the invasions of the moors, if you go to any of these countries, specifically spain you’ll see the moorish archecture everywhere and if you don’t believe me check it out on wikipedia or any other site that tells the history of these countries. They used to be white, but not for a long time.
The whole european population is “mixed” ; so the so-called “white americans” are from a mixed population (excepted maybe some Irish…).
And remember : there are NO different human races (this word can be used for animals, not humans).
I’m French, my parents are Portuguese, and I “don’t used to be white…”
You’re not familiar with population genetics, or physical anthropology, apparently.
The majority of people who speak Portuguese as a first language are from Brazil NOT Portugal. Hence, you are the dumbass, not the author of this blog.
eh, you’re kind of a DUMBASS because you can’t read. The name of the entry is “Being an expert on YOUR culture” not “Being an expert on YOUR RACE”
The Portuguese may be considered ‘white’ today, but according to their history, they were not ‘white’ as…”Welsh, Dutch, Czech, Danish, Lithuanian, Italian, Albanian, Serbian, Georgian, Slovene, etc..”
You need to read up when the Iberian peninsula was occupied by the Muslims from 712-1492AD. And just to give you a heads up, these Muslims were NOT white people.
Where did you guys learn all that? It’s kind of ironic, given the title of this blog entry.
You are not an expert on your culture if you do not know the history of your culture.
I am uncultured.
Gee it’s funny that on a terrific satirical and surgically empirical blog, about the neurotic shams and obsessions of white folks meaning largely leftard liberals up to their necks in Marxist sodden PC multiculti envirofreakism, that many comments are by said leftard liberals. Wonderful. It’s all true. Pure gold. Commenter: “It’s like looking in a fucking mirror.” We all have a superficial and phony balony cross to bear. Colonel Robert Neville blogspot com.
i’ve been called many things on this site, but never a white supremacist. This is a first.
I would suggest you read what i wrote and think ‘a non-white’ wrote this, then you will get a new perspective.
it is what it is.
have you heard of this website
http://www.stormfront.org/forum/
i think you’d like it
Thanks huggy bear, but look out for a troll with my name will adapt the Free French resistance flag as an avvie/icon or type in Cherokee Indian script, my unique way of spam posting. I voted for Obama like most of the white, black and other racial groups in America…except stormfront members. +
ahh god that site is hilarious, a bunch of deluded white pride retards who think hitler is awesome. they have no factual evidence and their entire ego of being aryan is built on lies. this is what i was talking about with the linguist dude below, that all this nazi aryan crap started with the lies of a master race and it all originated when white people couldn’t accept that their language had non european origins….
Funny, did you just call all “white people” aryan retards? It sounds like someone’s trying to be an expert on someone else’s culture… Actually, it’s no secret that the idea of a “master race” is ridiculous, even among whites.
“The Aryan invasion theory, as Schaffer notes, arose from a Eurocentric view that was hostile to an Indic basis for Western civilization or peoples. The discovery of close affinities between the Indo-European languages in the eighteenth century required an explanation. By placing the original Aryans in Europe, who later migrated to India where they got absorbed by the indigenous population, it took away any need to connect the ancient Europeans with India, which was not pleasing to the colonial mindset of the time. The theory eventually developed an antisemetic tone. It was used to trace Western culture not to the Jews and their Biblical accounts but to an proposed European homeland dominated by Nordic peoples. Thus the invasion theory eventually became one of the pillars for Nazi historians.”
you see our history was manipulated to fit into the lie that your ‘aryan’ race came to india and made all our advances….nothing but pure bull….an it’s not like i’m bein ultra nationalist or hindutava even…i’m just stating the facts…
I can’t tell if this is in response to a posting of mine; if so, I would ask where I said anything about an aryan invasion theory, which to the best of my knowledge may not even amount to a theory. All I’ve been talking about is the linguistics, specifically the evolution of the English language, an aspect which for a long time now has been in less and less dispute. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand the aryan invasion theory to be an interpretation, based on the Rg Veda, of how the Indo-Europeans ended up in the Indian subcontinent, an interesting topic, but one which I’ve never studied in detail and must confess to be beyond my competence.
well garman it has a lot to do with linguistics. before i get to that let m disvole on of your other mentionings in your post. there is no mention in the rig veda of aryans or any land outside of india, it has nothing to do with anything and is pure bullshit. you’re wrong about that.
why i bring it up is because it is white people who devised that whole theory to make believe that there were proto indo europeans who were responsible for sanskrit when there was no such thing as proto indo europeans. they lied that there was an invasion to cover the fact that their language entirely came from india essentially. there are no PIE, we indians invented you whole language. we posess the oldest language…
another thing i always found funny was mention of r1a as a PIE marker, when such gene is found at highest levels in india and pakistan. furthermore the gene itself is even found among mongols, who don’t even speak a sanskrit derived language…
i can go on…
Indians don’t possess the oldest language, just the oldest record. I don’t know why you think there were no PIE or that everything came out of India, but certainly I won’t argue that with you, because obviously it wouldn’t do any good. I can’t help wondering, though, why you think as you do. If the Europeans and their languages came out of India, why aren’t Europeans dark like Indians, and why doesn’t the morphology of European languages support an Indian origin for them? We’re talking about science here, not lies that somebody made up for nationalistic purposes but models that anyone can check out, do the science and judge for himself. Certainly you’re welcome to your interpretation of things, but I don’t know where you would ever find the science or the history to support it.
i didnt say europeans have indian origins, dont misconstrue my words. i meely said we have the oldest languge in this supposed IE tree.
tell me also how as a linguist the migration models support anything but india…r1a has its highest levels in india/pakistan, and is invisible among western europeans. if anything im saying europeas are genetically totally different from us. yet the languge similarities were taken when persians borrowed from sanskrit. the scythians inhabited russia, then the western europeans came and mixed with them, their lang may have influenced the next and so on.
europeans carry r1b which is not even found in india/pakistan, you all probably descend from the basques and spanish fishermen…
My apologies for misconstruing you. Migration models are all necessarily somewhat speculative, and if you want to talk about genetics, I can’t, because that is a field almost entirely beyond my competence. Linguistic models, however, are bound to be highly telltale as to historical vicissitudes, as well as being a subject upon which scientific tools can be, and have been, brought to bear. If Sanskrit were the oldest IE language, you are necessarily saying that it must be the root language of the whole family, from which all the other branches are necessarily derived, a model supported by no science I know of. I once had a debate with an Irishman who seemed to have a similar theory about the Irish language, so I suspect this is a way of thinking best attributed to the vagaries of national pride and human nature. What the science does support is that Sanskrit is a later language derived one way or another from the same PIE root language as all the rest… meaning, inevitably, that all IE language families are about the same age. The fact that languages borrow and swap words around amongst themselves is only to be expected, and it’s too easy to distinguish loan words from inherited words in these or any languages to make it worth trying to construct alternative reality linguistic family trees out of their occurrences. I realize you won’t accept such views, of course; I’m only trying to be clear on where I’m coming in from.
if you think there was a language that predated sanskrit you’re wrong. and there was no such thing as PIE…that is genetically evident for sure….
now you can believe th eurocentric mentality that gives your white people their dignity but in reality it’s all bull….
umm dude sorry but hittite is an IE lang that has an older written record than sanskrit…
also i’m an indian (bengali) who is saying this.
stfu you’re spewing bullshit…
are you even a linguist? i am, w/ a few degrees in sanskrit and indo-european linguistics.
From historical world human migration theories, Southern Indians are descended from seafaring peoples out of the Horn of Africa or southern Arabia (Yemen and Oman) about 50,000 years ago…and the Arabs as we know of are white Caucasian whose skin color, same with the Indians and Pakistanis (plus Bengalis and Sri Lankans), are a result of their hot sunny climate to made dark melanin in the skin.
There are several Australoid tribes found in India, as well the Andaman Islands and throughout the East Indies or S.E. Asia, such as the “Negrito” tribes of the Philippines… and distantly the Ainu, an indigenous people whom don’t appear “Mongoloid” in Japan mostly live in Hokkaido had more similarity with the Australoids, except the people are fair-skinned and shown ethnological traits once thought to be from Caucasians (the white people from Northern or eastern Europe) about 4,000 miles away, but Ainu have intermixed with the Japanese in the last 2 centuries.
The Ainu’s unique genetic structure was found among American Indians of North America, whom descended from Siberian and possibly Turkic-Altaic tribes in Northern or Central Asia, the hyopthetic home range of Indo-European speaking peoples, and who else are listed Caucasian are Arabs or Semitic people (including most Israeli Jews) bear a resemblance to Sub-Saharan Africans with a high likelihood of sharing some ancestral genes for over 50,000 years.
It is thought the oldest peoples in length of inhabitation are found in southern Africa the Nguma or Bushmen, whom have inner eyefolds like the Malagasy tribes of Madagascar, light hair like Australoids and earlier human anthropological theories of the Capoids of southern Africa, might came form the Mediteranean region, where many genome isolates are like the Basques, Sami people, Georgians or the Sumerians are also of Iberian/Mediteranean stock though the Sami of Scandinavia resembled the Inuit, Aleut, Yakut, Mongolian and Tibetan peoples to some experts on human anatomy.
However, the South American Indians like the Fuegians of Patagonia have been compared to Australoids and quite possibly Polynesian peoples of Malayan origin came to South America long ago than first perceived, and we had seen a revival of interest in the European and African origins of many peoples of the pre-Columbian Americas.
And to end the diatribe,The concept of race has been debunked as a result of genetic studies and human migration models to make it confusing indeed, yet it makes all sense now to know our 4 million year old history. +
hittitie doesnt posess many features typical of Ie and in essence is thought of as different. lack of gende division and such. shouldnt you know this? or am i spewing bullshit
I really don’t know where you are getting all this Eurocentricity mentality stuff. I’m European and proud of it, which is why I have studied the history of my race and its folkways in such detail, but never thought it made me better than anybody else.
Europeans are not a race of people…..but i understand your point of view…
Andy Lau!? hahahaha

white people kno nothing other than who won the giants patriots game. uneducated iliterate an stupid. that’s why indians are taking all your highest paying positions and you’re sitting at home like sludge. why dont you try simply reading book, or could you just not bear to look, you get no you get no you get no commercials……..
Sounds like someone’s not secure enough about their own ethnicity.
You seem smart enough not to be like that though. I’m sure you’re intelligent enough to know that generalizations like that hold no truth. Sure there are plenty of stupid. lazy white people. There’s plenty of smart, hard working ones too. Just like in any other cutlure /ethnicity.
You’re obviously not a dumb fuck, why act like one?
Learn to spell before you rant about ‘iliterate’ (sic).
Putz.
no, i mean we inventd you language so i can spell it however i wish….
you cunt
Who are you saying invented white language and culture?
These things were invented by white people (non-Indian-subcontinent) over many centuries. Today, white people and culture are dying out, but this is strictly an American phenomenon; it does not have to do with the white race generally, which was what it was and is what it is and shall remain so, until it finally dies out.
there’s no english language without the persians, who themselves borrowed from sanskrit…so…that’s how that works…
Sounds like your philology needs work. Both English and Persian are descended from proto-Indo-European, by very different routes. Nor did English, a Germanic language, after all, borrow anything from Sanskrit; it was a totally different evolution.
Where do you think Indo-European languages originated from? Sanskrit.
Just one example of and English word that can be traced back to Sanskrit: Ignite – from the Hindu word Agni, for fire.
Quite so; English is full of words borrowed from Sanskrit, Persian, Arabic and every other language, which is one reason why it’s spoken today in every corner of the globe, as the modern world’s most cosmopolitan language. But the point, I believe, was where English originally came from, which was none of the above. Sanskrit and Persian are of the “Satem” or Eastern Indo-European language families; English is from one of the many “Kentum” or Western IE language families, the two branches having diverged and gone their separate ways in very early proto-IE times. Both language families, and their speakers, have made enormous contributions to modern world culture and deserve to be equally respected. As to the shaping of today’s Modern English, the far-and-away most important influence was late Mediaeval French, with Danish as a distant second. I’m a language scholar; just a point of information, no offense meant.
you sound like some white supremacist.
first of all YOU DID NOTHING
INDIANS invented
sanskrit
algebra, trigonometry
the worlds first monotheistic religion
the list goes on and on
you sound like one of those idiots who thinks aryans are real
there are no proto indo europeans, there is NO factual evidence of their existence, basically some white british guy says that the root of these languages MAY have a common ancestor, never providing proof. meanwhile sanskrit is the oldest of these languages. hinduism is the oldest religion and i can go on….
another thing is that there was no aryan invasion into India, considering there is no genetic differences among fellow Indians genetically at all. Also no aracheological evidence, or any factual evidence whatsoever. no mention in the vedas.
how about a topic under stuffwhitepeoplelike: telling lies
How about Stuffwhitepeoplelike: What we believe: the super-German Hypoborean Aryan hetero-men came from a distant planet known as Asgard, then invaded the darkie land of Hindoo-land in 10000000 BC and installed a real civilization after nuking the brown ones out of existence.
Terribly wrong, and no one knows for sure if the “Aryans” of Northern India are of Germanic stock, though records said they had light brown skin, hair and eyes. Their exact land of origin could be Afghanistan, Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan, and tribes migrating not only south but north or west out of the steppes of Central Asia into the eastern end of Europe.
The early but disproven legend of the Aryans are a race of “Germans” or the prototypical white people was made up by a British imperial officer, also an archaeologist. Also to mention the Nazi German anthropological survey into Tibet to study “real Aryans” except to find only Tibetan people. +
let me also add that any real intelligent linguist should know not to mix genetics with linguistics….becaus i speak spanish does this mean i am fom spain? come on…
Not sure where you got the idea that I was mixing genetics and linguistics; obviously anyone who knows the subject at all knows better than that. What does surprise me is that you yourself seem to know the subject a lot better than I would have surmised from your earlier posts. You are the first person I have encountered who knows that much about the field and yet considers it to be lies. It’s rather like meeting a Fundie who actually knows something about Darwinian Evolution and yet still believes in Intelligent Design. Maybe it’s just because these disciplines were invented by Englishmen that you have a problem with this stuff? Ahem; any white guy who ever talked like you do would be called a Racist.
(Comments wont nest below this level)
There are more non-white people in the world than white people. It is inevitable that if any of your white women decide to become ‘non-white curious’ and have a baby, then you can see that there is one more non-white in the world.
White people can only stay all white if they stay and mate in a very small section of the world…..and even that section is being infiltrated by non-white people.
it is what it is.
you sound like some white supremacist
white people willingly invite non white people into europe, america, canada australia etc those are not white lands, those are lands that elonged to native americans and aboriginess nd were stolen from them..
if white women weren’t so devoid of morals maybe your little white populace would stand some chance, but they weren’t meant to be…if the white man is jealous that the non white men are taking all their women then they should just accept it and keep going for oriental girls like they do anyway….
White, defined as: reading about zone VI when exposing for film.
And of course, you’re right. There is no place on earth that people reading zone VI or above haven’t stolen from people reading somewhere under zone VI. They are actually not native to anywhere, and all of them are ignorant and racist.
However, their easily manipulated women can’t keep their hands off of men who expose under zone VI. Because of this, the forgotten zone VI men are forced to vainly chase women who occasionally reflect slightly more yellow light.
Haha white women have no morals?
Some don’t, some do. It varies.
