Culture affects a person profoundly, down to the way the prefrontal cortex is wired (which governs many processes critical to ethics and social function).

Explain, for example, how Jewish populations have managed to be so successful for thousands of years in spite of slavery, persecution, expulsion, exclusion, and extermination. Thousands of years of 'racism', yet they always come out on top. Is there an explanation besides culture? I can't think of one. And if culture can at least partially account for their success, then why can't it explain hardships among other groups?

Also the very racism practiced by Jews themselves could in part have lead to some of their cultural success. Their culture is very insular and heavily influenced by racial and cultural reasoning.

Doubling down aside, is there anything useful that can be done by making the distinction?

I was oppressing the gang members chasing me with knives in LA because I bailed LA during white flight (late 80's). Bullets literally zipping by my head one night, but I had the gall to oppress them by leaving.
Tales of an oppressor from FEMA region 9. F* the cities!

How very privileged of you to deny those gang bangers your possessions! Just another example of white, patriarchal privilege! You need some diversity sensitivity re-education classes I think.

It was a drug rage I forced them into while walking by minding my own business (i.e oppressing them). I oppressively ignored them as I walked by, though secretly studied them with peripheral vision so underhandedly. When they came up behind me, they didn't want anything other than to deservingly knife me because the oppressive way I looked to them.

After a three block sprint, my oppression was amplified as the six of them became winded and gave up chase, my great speed gave me an unfair advantage. I ratted them out to a trucker at a gas station who snitched to the cops on his CB radio. I'm so glad they were never caught, they could have wrongly been jailed for my horrible oppression of them. Two years later I sealed their fate, I left LA. I live with the shame of what I did to them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If Day was a minority, you'd be a racist for that. Welcome to leftism in the USA! Wear it proudly.

They are bringing down the heads of major universities, pressuring businesses and assaulting Trump supporters with impunity. That is too much power already imo.
