Heather sent me this in response (posted with permission):
Have you considered the racial implications of your posting in over-generalizing a group of people? For example, the Irish are known as the "white minority" and even were enslaved (legally) and brought on ships to America for a period of 20 years. Having lived in Africa for 7 years among a nation of people with 42 distinct tribes - yet all being black in color - I have learned to identify and respect different qualities and distinctions among white ethnic lines as well. The 42 tribes in Africa I have lived among are as distinct in some ways as an American Indian from a German, and yet they are all black.
White people, as well, have different histories, ancestral lines and cultures. Please don't group us all together. It is hard enough to live cross-culturally in America as a white person without an added stereotype such as this one.
In light of witnessing 600,000 people displaced, thousands killed (even a friend and pastor) in the last two months in what was once perceived as a peaceful nation (Kenya) ALL over tribal and racial divisions (even though they are all black) and seeing a nation erupt into civil war and anarchy . . . and in light of our own histories throughout time which reveal that we (white people) were no different . . . generalizations on skin color seem a bit cheap, naive and insensitive. I guess to the average American, it is funny. But that is because we do not teach "history" in our public schools. We teach white-empowerment and prolong the deceptions of the true history of our nation and this world.
Interestingly enough Heather and I had the opposite perceptions. I can see her point, and I would never want to promote racism! Instead, I saw it as a way for folks to realize how often we consider one sub-culture to be THE culture. And it's not the one way or even the main way to think.
