Andrew Beer,
Philadelphia, PA.
As a white male, I am lumped together with the rest of white America, but white isn’t a culture. My family came to the U.S from the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs before WWII from Dubrovnik, but no one seems to even think that I’m not a descendant of the colonial English. I have been told that it was my people that enslaved the Africans, while in actuality it was my people who were enslaved by the Ottomans. In our country, we have to stop seeing skin color as a definite sign of one’s culture and ethnic background.
