culture vulture

what is culture anyway? we say that's our culture, that's the way we do it, its our culture. Western culture, Asian culture, there are so many different cultures that we do not know of. i think the only cultures we know are our own culture and the popular western culture.

it's my self interest to know about other people's culture, esp traditional ones, its worth learning as it's almost at lost. most of us right now are leaning towards modern culture, western culture. as i punch my keyboard, i realise culture now, is such a broad topic, and i cant touch on every single angel ya know. like i can talk about racial culture, if there's such a thing. a specific example would be the Hollywood culture, there's a lesbian culture in my sister's junior college. i think there's homosexual culture every where now. so what is culture really?

so i checked dictionary.com i got 11 different meanings. some are the same, while some aren't. i pick two out of the 11.
1. the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc

2.the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group: the youth culture; the drug culture.

yeah so i don't know what I'm touching on exactly about culture but here's experience.
you see, my friend, A, is a mix of dutch and Malay. her mum's dutch, her dad's Malay, Muslim.
so when you're a Muslim, u can only marry a Muslim, so the mum has to convert. so whatever race your dad is you follow, usually that's the case. you think you're all that and say you wont date malay guys? who the hell are you? I say malay guys have waaay better personality than white guys, okay, put it as Asian guys. Okay, i just contradict myself, i'm with a white dude, but i dont think i go around saying im not proud of who i am, I'm proud to be Asian, i'd rather look like a malay than a chinese, cos im part chinese. And for goodness sake, dress properly not like a fcking slut at the red light district, hah. and your boyfriend's friends says your like a minah. HAHAHA, straight up thats so true. I knw im bitching right now but seriously you need a reality check. yeap.

and i still cant believe am hanging out with her. gawd.
