The problem is, people throw around these terms "white", "black", "Hispanic" etc as though all of these groups are monolithic homogeneous ethnic groups.

In reality, if you take white people for example, you've got a massively diverse group of people who practice different religions (or no religion), speak different languages, have different values and cultural practices, and very different histories. Go to Greece, then go to Sweden, the culture shock will smack you in the face. I'm of Maltese, Irish and German descent, and within my own family I've seen these differences. Same goes for Black people, Asians, or any other "race".

Thank you both for saying this. I was trying to figure out how to word the exact same thing but you both explained it much berter than me

Thanks Nope Smile
