It's condescending on the part of the SJWs and Lefties to say that. Think about it... Some rich white person says essentially "you can't help it. The system is stacked against you! You can't rise above this, it's too hard. Here, take some free money and healthcare. Oh, and don't forget to vote Democrat in the next elections!"
Why more people don't understand that is beyond me.

The left does not want to right social injustices, nor do they want to help folks, they want to assuage their guilt over the plight of others. Once seen in that context, what they do makes sense. To say, "That is just their culture," is a way to side step the issue of poor and rude behavior, which if forced to confront, would only lead to more guilty feelings. |

Discuss No...its a way for liberals to be subtly racist. Its basically saying "WOGs gonna' WOG" without saying it directly. Its like liberals who will tell you, "I don't want to take away YOUR gun." What they are saying is "You are basically like me, and so I trust you. Its the brown, black and yellow people I don't trust. But you're OK." |

Well when you've spent you're entire life being taught that everything that is wrong in your life is someone else's fault..... You're ability and inclination to take responsibility for your actions and behavior is a alien to you as a fish is walking on land. When you've been taught for your entire life that person (A) is a perpetual victim, the idea that person (A) should be held to the same standard as someone who isn't a victim, you get a liberal who thinks that anyone who is successful in life doesn't deserve that success. |

Many traded one form of slavery for another. “Among a large class, there seemed to be a dependence upon the government for every conceivable thing. The members of this class had little ambition to create a position for themselves, but wanted the federal officials to create one for them. How many times I wished then and have often wished since, that by some power of magic, I might remove the great bulk of these people into the country districts and plant them upon the soil – upon the solid and never deceptive foundation of Mother Nature, where all nations and races that have ever succeeded have gotten their start – a start that at first may be slow and toilsome, but one that nevertheless is real.”

We had a very interesting thread here the other week about how cultural designations are not racist because, although prominently a specific race, cultures can be inclusive of different kinds of people. Search "youths", goblins and "rich and vibrant" for examples. Remember, if you don't actually say black it doesn't mean black people. |
| My favorite is a Winston Churchill story about a British general in India. He's at a funeral and they are getting ready to throw the wife of the deceased onto the funeral pyre "because it is tradition in our culture." To which the General replies "Very well, but understand that in my culture, that means I will have to hang you by the neck until you are dead." |

I was thinking the same thing. |
| Our soldiers are told to turn the other cheek when Afghanis are raping boys because it's "just their culture". Michael Savage said that this is an example of why he says "diversity" is a code word for "perversity". You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict where this "diversity" and "culture" shit is going to lead. |

| It's conservative code for racism. By broadening the inferential distance (referring to culture, the result of human nature, rather than human nature directly) conservatives can talk about racism without explicitly admitting human nature might vary between different groups of humans. |

I am a teacher, I hear it all the time to excuse bad behavior. Fuck this whole your culture is an excuse to act like a thug, or abuse women, or kill people who draw a cartoon. If that is the case my culture as a white male involves manifest destiny, colonialism as well as racism and blatant sexism and any attempt to tell me otherwise is cultural insensitivity. |

If I say it once more into a mirror Blackieman will appear and murder me. Or, according to the appropriate cultural designation, "Rich and Vibrant" Man will appear and prove a certain stereotype true. But I don't actually mean black, I mean a cultural set that is almost entirely comprised of black people and is the stereotypical definition of black people. BUT I DON'T ACTUALLY MEAN BLACK PEOPLE. |
| I was in Houston the otherday at a mall, there was a Muslim guy really chewing out a girl at a godiva store. One of my liberal said "whatever, it's acceptable in their culture". So I spent the rest of the day being the biggest asshole and making excuses for myself, that it was "my culture" |

They'll piss and moan about anything their main domestic political opponents do because it benefits them directly. Other cultures? There is nothing in it for them. Quite the opposite, taking the position that it's wrong to criticize other cultures give them plenty to whine about when others point out indefensible behavior. |
