I believe that the lack of a White Studies department at major American universities is itself racist and counterproductive. CMV

I'm not talking about the history of white Americans, but simply the study of the white American populous through a sociological lens. Why do we not study alcoholism within the white community or study why the majority of school shootings are perpetrated by white people? We usually don't see studies about white depression, but simply American depression and are to assume that it is about white people. I'm not attempting be a seperationist, but it simply confounds me that there isn't that much resources being put into learning the sociology of the white American mindset. I think we are hurting ourselves as a society and this is not a good thing. It's like we are subconsciously saying that white people are innately above reproach, and I think that's racist. Please change my view.

Edit. I mean this to be an USA centric topic. Sorry for the confusion.

When you talk about "white people" you aren't talking about one, or even a few, cultures... you are talking about dozens, if not hundreds, of cultures. "White" is simply too vague of a descriptor. The "standard deviation" of white people is simply too great.
