I like how Andrae betrays his age with each categorical statement. That inability to see nuance repeats itself particularly well among younger people.

Anyway, short and sweet.
The western hemisphere plays hosts to two of the most violently xenophobic cultures in human history, the Anglo and Spanish. The Anglo model primarily took root in North America, while the Spanish dominated most of the land south of what became the United States. Contemporary white American culture bears the stamp of the Anglo model--industrious, repressed, Christian, and virulently racist. Of course there have been changes, many might argue progress, since the dawn of our republic, but like red wine on brand new white carpet, certain cultural strains are harder to wash out.
Personally I think the solution is to find a way to not care one way or other. This "white-woman-won't-date-me" bullshit is a boring topic that's been done to death on this board.
