Actually more like modern western society... oh and Asian society if you're not Asian and living in an Asian area.... oh and African society if you're not african.. unless you live in South Africa. And, considering that most of modern society EVERYWHERE has been influenced by western society in SOME way, yeah....

Actually there were lots of them, but, the cyclical nature of human culture meant that they eventually got either, inverted to a patriarchy, or Steamrolled over by an invading one.

I know that I'm a minority, but what I guess I'm trying to say is that I exist, and people like me exist. Members of minorities so integrated into American society and wealthy enough that they haven't really suffered racism.

Except you know, the racist-ass culture they live in, where, apparently having to be "Normal" or "integrated" means "acting white and/or having money" and is seen as a plus instead of a cultural intolerance of people's differences. Where white is seen as a standard to aspire to instead of just another skintone/cullture/ ethnicity.

Like that. Where these Guatamalan kids can't be Guatamalans living in the U.S. but "exotically attractive" white people with tans in order to succeed in our society.
