Why don't white people even know who they are or where they come from? I'm African American and First Nations, rooted in New Orleans and Port Simpson BC. Whenever I ask a white person about their heritage, many of you say things like "Heinz 57", "mutt", "just an ordinary white guy". White isn't a culture. In fact, it's the distinct absence of any culture.

Perhaps if you'd spend some time finding out who *you* are, you'll stop quick changing into the cultural skins of those of us who value who we are, and understand better why we fight you so ferociously on this issue. As it now stands right now, the only culture many of you can claim is in a tub of yogurt.
