It was, after all, for many years the “culture” of some parts of the United States that people of African descent should sit at the back of the bus and go to separate schools, hospitals, and universities. It was the “culture” of apartheid South Africa that blacks should live apart from whites and have separate, and inferior, educational opportunities.
试想一下，如果某人试图以不能用一种文化凌驾于其他文化之上之名行种族歧视之实，我们应该如何应对。毕竟，在美国，多年来都有一种“文化”，认为非洲裔应该坐在公交车的后部、上隔离学校、医院和大学。种族隔离的南非也有一种“文化”，认为黑人应该和白人分开生活，黑人应该接受分离的等而下之的教育机会。直白地说，这些都是当时掌握权力的白人的文化。
