Stop talking about culture. This has nothing to do with culture.
It is a very simple issue:
Minorities organizing on the basis of race = socially conscious and progressive. YAY!!!!
White people organizing on the basis of race = Ku Klux Klan as a previous poster neatly put it. BOOO!!!
It's because we have no history of whites organizing around their race without it being hate driven. Blacks organized around their race and it produced Martin Luther King. Whites organized around their race and it produced Hitler.
Until there are visible examples of whites organizing around their race that is entirely divorced from neo-nazism then it will continue to be stigmatized. Thank the Klan and Nazis for giving white racial consciousness/organization a bad name.
It's not all so bad when whites organize themselves about their race there are also good results, for example, the white girls that everybody like so much, even over those of their own race. Think about Nigeria, Kenya, Angola... then think about Ukraine, Hungary, Romania...

(Kidding).
No seriously, excuse me sir, what do we get when blacks organize themselves around their race? South Africa, Liberia, Zimbawe, Detroit, etc.
What do we get when asians organize themselves around their race?
And we could go say the same about religions (crusades, holly war, Indian-Pakistani war), countries (insert any ware here), social classes (soviet revolution, french revolution...), etc.
Should we stop allowing people to unite with their peers because of that? I can't believe such a distinguished member of this forum is using the very same speech that feminazis use against the manosphere: It's good when hamsters come together to fight for their rights but it's bad when men do it because when they've done it brought opression to women. Either we all fuck or we will throw the bitch to the river.
On the other hand, let's be fair, it's not about racism, it's about MONEY. If you're rich no matter if you're a black, asian, middle eastern, from the Indian Subcontinent or from hell, you'll have read carpet treatment wherever you go. Now let's take three guys, from working class background, a redneck, a hispanic guy from LA, and a black guy from Atlanta with a similar economical background: unemployment, alcohol and drugs abuse, gangs; who do you think will have easier way to college, guess who will not get any social wellfare, access to university, scholarships, affirmative action, etc...
Nowadays being non-white in some countries like UK or France is a priviledge that open you lots of doors that would be close to a caucasian in the same situation. Even when you're opening a girl, at least here in Europe, if you're from another race you can use the joker: Are you racist? and she will feel so guilty and ashamed that she will let you continue gaming her even if she is not genuinely interested in you lol (And I know this trick because I've eyewitnessed my black friends doing it and I've tried it myself being white with dark hair and blue eyes but using the "is it because I'm hispanic?" and it did work).
Being a foreigner who has never been to the States but see your cultural products: sports, music industry, movies, etc dominated by minorities, it really makes no sense. If you're a smart black/hispanic/indian/native american/whatever guy in the states and you play your cards well you'll go far, you don't need any kind of positive discrimination or political correctness to protect and patronize you.
It's true that an italian has little or nothing to do with a Russian or an Irish with a Greek but yet a rural black from Alabama will have little or nothing to do with another black from New York, who will probably have more in common with their neighbours from other races than with their "brothers", however nobody question their african american identity. Same would apply for any other community, like Jewish; or you think Sefardies are the same as Askenazí or Yidish.
Problem in the USA is that you allowed all that "african american", "asian american", etc but white americans forgot their own identity. They're european americans, the only real americans were exterminated by them. The truth is that America and Americans are just a spin off from the old Europe with a dash of Africa, Asia and Native Americans, however they reject their own European heritage.
