CMV: Racism isn’t a big problem anymore. It’s culturism.

Please read this through before knee jerk downvoting me.

Racism typically stems from the idea of “a that race has worse genes that somehow makes them dumber/aggressive/lazy” This has been disproven many times by science, and you rarely see a politician make that claim.

However, a (potentially) true statement is that “this culture raises dumber/aggressive/lazy kids.” This could statistically proven, and is very possible.

‘This makes a huge problem. When two different cultures collide in the workplace, is it the employers fault at all?

Say that one culture raises kids who think it’s fine to talk, or scream about any issue they aren’t satisfied with. The culture believes that this will lead to a peaceful resolution, and avoid misunderstanding. Let‘s call this culture 1. Another culture raises kids to internalize problems, and avoid conflict. They believe that this is best for everyone, because it keeps a person from lashing out wrongly at another. Let’s call this culture 2.

Now say that one culture immigrates to another, and vice versa. The company will see the employee from culture 1 as hostile and rude, and from their perspective, rightly so. If you’re speaking with customers who may not be as understanding, they may mistake the person from culture 1 to be rude and short tempered, and question the company’s decisions.

The other way around leads to problems as well. Immigrants from culture 2 will be viewed as cold, and unfriendly when in Culture 1’s country.

These differences make it hard for the immigrant to rise to high management positions in the workplace, due to a perceived lack of human interaction skills.

You can’t truly blame the company. From their point of view, the other employees they hire will be uncomfortable under the immigrant. This leads to suffering on everyone’s part. The immigrant could also become a liability, as a coworker may go to HR making claims that the immigrant from culture 1 was harassing them.

So is it the immigrants fault for not assimilating? Of course not. Asking people to throw away a part of their culture just doesn't sit right.

Culture is many other things, which may have effect outside of work. Maybe its how you discipline your kids, or how you treat your elders.

I think that this is the real root of the issue. 100 years ago, discrimination was based on race. Now it is based on culture, which is often tightly correlated with race. The end result is the same, but the reason is different.

Stereotypes that were injected into people as kids obviously play a role as well though. These stereotypes coupled with culturism creates a disaster.

This is a issue that needs to be fixed. However, because the science isn't there to help, it will be much harder. I don't have any sort of solution, but we will need one.

I'm curious to see if there's something I'm missing.

Edit:

I have come to the conclusion that Black people experience more systemic racism, and less culturalism. Most other immigrant minorities, however, experience culturalism. The difference is most likely because of black people's long history with slavery, and how that left a lasting imprint on their race.

With Black Americans, you have to ask the question why Americans who have lived here for hundreds of years, who remember nothing of African culture, have a separate culture at all?

Did they all choose to live together in high-concentrated poverty ghettos? Why don’t poor whites also live in these neighborhoods?

Is it part of Black culture to separate themselves from the wider mainstream culture? Or is part of American culture to keep Blacks separated from the mainstream?
