I got that point (althought it took me a couple of read-throughs) and I absolutely agree that ther are regional cultural differences among people as well as racial ones.
I guess I've just always associated culture with the more significant whys and hows of life, the history and traditions of people. The things you mentioned, aside from the music and food, just didn't fit that mold for me - they seemed more about present-day ills and social indiosyncracies than "culture".
OK - my DH says I have to get off now b4 somebody threatens to snuff me out. He doesn't want to be a single dad. LOL!
