Culture =/= race; so that entire rant was utterly useless and idiotic.
You realize there's a difference between Chinese Culture and Japanese Culture right? Despite how both countries are primarily Asian? And that similarly German Culture is vastly different from Greek Culture despite both being primarily Caucasian?
So yeah; that whole rant is useless and ignorant for pretending like they're the same thing.
BTW; Culture is defined as: 1cul·ture
noun ˈkəl-chər
: the beliefs, customs, arts, etc., of a particular society, group, place, or time
: a particular society that has its own beliefs, ways of life, art, etc.
: a way of thinking, behaving, or working that exists in a place or organization (such as a business)
It's deals with society; not race. There are different races within cultures; so it isn't a cultural issue (that's a red herring) it's based on the prejudicial notion that the races are somehow inherently different in a meaningful way.
And next time, if you're going to respond to me then quote me; not yourself.

Oh? I never even mentioned the Japanese, I never said Japan was the same as China. I did however mention a variety of different ethnic groups that are living within China that have different cultures.
Hell, even among the "Japanese" there's a variety of different cultural groups.
As for society over race...
It deals with, according to what you quoted said "a particular society, group, place, or time." the first definition it falls under, a group.
An ethnic group, is a particular group and a number of different ethnic groups, each with their own culture, can live in a singular state.
You are right that there can be different "races" within a particular "culture" however there are cultures which are closed off to particular ethnic groups.
There are however quite a large variety of different "subcultures" that are not prone to ethnic lines at all.
Anyways, I've grown disinterested in this.

Historically speaking, you are technically right. Most did not have the cultural view of this, the majority did it because they were southern hicks who didn't like the idea of whites mixing with blacks and they were racist as all hell.
Genetically speaking, "race" doesn't really exist. There is more genetic diversity between people of the same "race" as there is between people of different "races".
There does exist different "ethnic groups" but these are socially created.
