I didn't write "We have A culture?" I wrote "We have culture?"
Implying that we are lacking in couth.

> it is different from black culture or Asian culture. There is also American culture and European culture. There's lots and lots of cultures. There's even cultures based on sexual orientation. Typically, different cultures will see foods in a different light. Location and climate can also have an effect on a people's relationship with food i.e., local culture. I don't believe that food as it relates to race or culture is a trivial/unimportant matter. Who the heck does?

Asians make up 5.6% of the American population. If you're doing
a statistical study of milk drinking, you might as well not mention
them.
