@OBAMAisHalfCaste thats true but there are 2 reasons why that is. first reason is that in america they have a one drop rule, one drop of anything automatically makes you that race. many people who are half desi, are considered desi regardless of their white sides. second reason is also for political reasons too. to appease black voters plus it easier for most of white america to accept him as black versus being mixed race, which is what he technically is.

@xgotfiveonitx not in america it doesnt. and for fuck sake man americans call and think there president is black when his mother was fucking white its sick.

@OBAMAisHalfCaste every country has different cultures, especially a country as diverse as india's. culture is simply a shared common set of values, customs and ethics and nothing more. so dont say 'there is no culture', culture exists everywhere, even among animals.

@xgotfiveonitx yes you,re right. but when it comes to america there is no culture because its a bunch if different cultures sqeezed together and now vannished and became one big fake english speaking culture. the original culture of america was the native/indian culture.

@OBAMAisHalfCaste every country has a civilization and culture. every community has a culture. you have white culture, you have black culture, you have cultures based on regions, urban culture, rural culture, etc. so let's stop with all of this nonsense argument here.

@postalmeter dont matter because the reality fact america has no origunal culture or history of its own anymore. and obama is not black he is mixed-race half-caste biracial nothing more and nothing less.

The USA was NEVER settled before Columbus because it has the most errratic weather-patterns on the face of the planet, and no one else could settle there; it was almost entirely populated by paleolithic hunter-gatherer tribes-- except for a few neolithics in New England, and even their agriculture was pretty wanting in comparison to Europeans. There were no amber waves of grain, no fruited plains and no cherry-trees to chop down until European farmers PLANTED them.

@postalmeter no i dont but i know for a fact that america is not white mans land europe is.
