White culture is the heritage of socially transmitted behavior patterns, including social norms, ethical values, traditional customs, beliefs, and political systems common to the White race. This description is in no way atypical of definitions of culture used by anthropologists for any particular social, ethnic, or age group.
A very great deal has been written by academics, especially in the last few decades, about the differences between Western culture and non-Western culture. Specifically, Western culture is philosophically based on a body of knowledge derived from reason, and places great value on individualism, happiness, rights, independence, and objective knowledge, whereas non-Western culture is based on mysticism and subjectivity, and places value on communal duty, self-sacrifice, interdependency, rigid social hierarchies, and resistance to innovations. Again, these statements are typical of the mainstream descriptions of Western and non-Western culture.
White culture goes further than Western culture and includes hereditary behavior patterns typical of the White race and rare among other races. This is because many non-White nations, such as Japan and China, have increasingly embraced Western culture, but remain essentially distinct from the culture in White nations due to racial differences in behavior, attitudes, and values. Behavior is, after all, as much as 80% heritable as established by studies of identical twins.
What follows is a set of overall trends in behavior of Whites as contrasted with the general behavior of non-Whites. These have led to the common themes of White culture as opposed to mere Western culture being imitated by non-Whites:
1. Whites are highly individualistic, generally lacking the rigid traditional uniformity of Asians and the peer-pressured conformity of Blacks.
2. Whites seek self-improvement, viewing learning as a life-long process rather than a preparation for a lucrative career in youth followed by reverence as a sage thereafter (assuming learning is considered relevant at all in the non-White culture in question).
3. Whites are strongly driven by an internal sense of conscience and fairness, which has been exploited as a weakness by non-Whites when Whites let that instinct override their rational objectivity.
4. Whites have a strong instinct for altruism even when it is not in their own best interest. This, too, is exploited by non-Whites, who in general would certainly never ignore their own interest in matters greatly impacting their own well-being.
5. Whites have a powerful sense of responsibility and are willing to admit failing and guilt both individually and culturally, whereas non-Whites who will ever admit culpability or fault are exceedingly rare. One would be hard-pressed to find a non-White nation that would engage in self-deprecation as White nations so often do.
6. Whites have done more than any other race to attempt to elevate society in general: Abolition of slavery, women’s rights, children’s rights, and social policies to decrease violence rates are all efforts pioneered by the White race.
7. Whites love animals and nature. No other race has ever considered the notion of animal welfare and animal rights as Whites have, even setting aside the extremes to which these ideas are sometimes taken. Whites fill their cities with trees, reserve natural regions for future generations, and show environmentalist concerns even when not liberal in ideology.
8. Whites tend toward a diplomatic compromise when encountering behaviors of which they do not approve in others. Blacks will typically become loudly aggressive when offended by a behavior, while Asians in the same situation usually won't say anything, even going so far as to dishonestly deny being offended, but will try to avoid the perpetrator at any cost thereafter.
9. Cheating is not considered a valid method of achieving success in White cultures. Many other cultures—Middle Eastern and East Asian, for example—tend to view cheating as a perfectly acceptable means of succeeding as long as one is never caught doing it.
10. Whites are extremely curious, desiring new knowledge and genuine truth, driven to explore everything, everywhere, and to establish quality in all their creations and ideas. It is certainly no coincidence that Whites were the first race to reach space, to explore the depths of the ocean, to travel the entire globe, to invent the microscope and telescope, to split the atom, and realize earth’s true place in the grandeur of the universe.
11. Whites like to break new ground in art forms just like they seek to explore new realms and push their frontiers in terms of technological achievement. Other cultures show a much slower rate of artistic evolution than Whites do, practicing the same musical forms for decades or centuries with very little exploratory change.
12. Whites are less faddish than Blacks are, going through phases as other cultures do, but moving on again quickly and restraining the extent of the fad with practical limitations. For example, Whites in general consider saggy pants absurd as such a thing serves no useful purpose, inhibits movement, and is not aesthetically appealing. White art forms repeatedly circle around to the pragmatic, and to the most enduring forms of beauty yet found.
13. White religions presuppose that the evil are punished and the good are rewarded. This notion is found in virtually every White-originated religion including those of the ancient Middle East. Non-White religions, like Shintoism, revere ancestors, but at best presume they wander in a dark, empty haze for all eternity regardless of whether they cheated or where honest, succeeded in life or failed.
14. So ubiquitous is the White instinct for ultimate fairness, judged objectively, that even opponents of traditional religions tend to hold beliefs (like social equality and nurture over nature) that still attempt to assign ultimate fairness to the workings of the universe.
This list could undoubtedly be extended much farther, but the comparisons here, expressed as general trends, are poignant, fair, distinctive, and confirmed by historical record as well as modern social patterns.
