ooops
that is not exactly what I meant.
ok lets take a smaller version from race. Lets take a family.
you would almost always want your big brother to be more successful than the guy across the street who has a weird accent.
not apply it to a bigger version.
a race, an ethnicity.
How about now?
Well, if we look at it that way...
My neighborhood is mostly European, that's true. There are a few Asians, a few Blacks, but yes, mostly European descent. White.
I don't get why being 'white' should necessarily be a uniting factor. I mean, Europe has had lots of wars among itself. They don't seem to care whether you're white, they're still going to kill you anyway. They see lots of distinctions between different kinds of white -- western whites, southern whites, eastern whites, northern whites. And then they all tried to kill each other.
Even in the United States, there have been distinctions between whites. Irish, Eastern Europeans, etc -- it's unfair to classify all whites, or all blacks, or all Asians as together. Because historically they never have been. It's always easier to fight with your neighbor than with someone all the way across the ocean.
So no, I can't expand the concept of 'family' to all white people. It just doesn't make any sense.
