Stolen from dcdomain's thread.
I'll start first. My parents are both right-wing conservatives, my dad is practically a Rush Limbaugh zealot. Mom is conservative, just not as out-spoken as my dad. My dad grew up in Findlay, Ohio and is a huge fan of the Browns and Indians. On my school transcripts, my dad wanted me to say I'm a Native American because he says we belong to the "Wahoo Tribe." School and academics has always been a priority in the house, good grades are expected. But I'm not punished or anything if I screw up.
Parents really don't make me do anything, my dad wanted me to play baseball as a kid, which I did, but I quit because it was too boring. I play soccer and used to play hockey because I enjoy it, don't play any musical instruments. Never was forced to really do anything. I'm Christian, but by choice. We don't go to church or anything, I did go to Bible Camp over the summer as a cheap alternative to a day care when I was younger and just continued to go to it for ~5 years.
That's all I can say. Being white is great. However, I get labeled a lot by hypocrites. Like trying to start a "European Descendents Club," I figured we have like 50 Asian clubs, why not a white club. But the office didn't even listen to our idea (my friends and I thought of it) and practically called us skin-head NAZI's. Calling an African American "black" makes me racist, yet on every form I fill out, I'm called "white," etc. On some school-wide test they gave us (STAR9 for Public School kids in California), I crossed out each ethnic group and wrote their color next to them. Asians = yellow, Native Americans = tan, Indians = brown, etc.
That's about all, white people talk about your parents/culture.
