1) I didn't state that language is a point of division...I am stating that language adds distinctiveness...That's why slang and jargon are very important when people are creating new sub-cultures....
For you Spanish example, I will say that you are right, but by teaching other groups Spanish, the Spaniards were able to transmit their culture to those other groups...I will bet that many Non-Spaniard Spanish speaking people follow a lot of Spaniard traditions, of course they have added their own flavors...
2) I already stated that my personal observation was limited...
3) I don't EVER feel "ostracized"...In my opinion, culture is overrated and not as important as we claim to be...As far as ideology and tradition is concerned, the most important thing is the SCIENTIFIC METHOD...
Everything we believe in should be based on science, all that "I do things this way because that's how my people have always done it" is NONSENSE to me...
The Scientific Method is the only religion/culture/tradition that we MUST teach our children as early as possible...
4) Conclusion, culture is overrated...1Billion years from now, nobody will give a fcuk that black people invented Jazz and Hip Hop...It is useless information...
Make a thread about culture when you dont understand anything cultural brehs
Your "culture" is like a pair of glasses you can't take off, it shapes everything about your human experiences, how you interact with your family, religions, what you eat, everything. Just stop.
you one those posters who like to hear themselves post
