I guess a black guy can do better if he fits in with the white culture, but still not as well as a white guy in white culture, and that's Racism 2.0, or Sexism 2.0 for women who act like men but still don't get the same rewards as men. By the time you get to Racism 3.0.... that's pretty much just culturalism. That's like believing that a mother or nurse or therapist (typically women) is less valuable than a engineer or architect or programmer (typically men). Or believing that Muslims are the greatest civilization on Earth and everyone should become a Muslim. Or believing that the American Way of Life is the greatest and any Italian, Zambian, Chinaman, or Scotsman who converts to it is also great. Once you get past Racism 3.0, then you are more freely able to choose what you like and dislike. You may choose to not associate with Bible bashing rednecks. And that's not Racist or Culturalist, because it is no longer about labeling people as inferior. Nevertheless, while you wish them a happy life, in your heart, you still wouldn't go to one of their parties.
