I would say there are many more cultures in South America than there are races. There are many more cultures in Europe than there are races. There are many more cultures even in Japan than there are races.
It is interesting that a search for "advanced culture" on wikipedia leads to "civilization".
Civilization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So from birth a culture is on an equal plane from every other culture, no matter how old?
When someone calls someone else "uncivilized" are they really being racist? |
Culture, as I define it and as is being used in this thread is based on identity.
Nothing to do with civilization. Related to society and race but synonymous with it.
