but even those Native American belong to different ethnic groups

& as far as science can tell, we all began in Africa. so we're all Africans.

of course, they do, but that doesn't take anything away from my point. my point is, people who were BORN in America, would have to be considered natives to the land... and those native to the land, who've been living here for centuries now, they have developed their own culture, dialects, ideals. why can a native New Yorker, be as precisely as ethnic as a native Virginian?

We lack common traditions though, unless you count obesity.

But might someone be prejudice against an ethnic group's culture because they're racist to that group?

Of course they can

Africa currently has more obese people than seriously malnourished ones, so it isn't just an American thing, its a crap food thing. Wherever people start eating "western style processed foods" obesity, diabetes and heart disease spike just as high as in the US.

I assumed he meant an ethnic culture. Like saying I don't like Bedouins.

Bedouins are an ethnicity, not a culture. There are middle eastern and black people in Bedouin culture, so if you don't like Bedouin culture you are not being racist (multiple races practice it) but if you say you don't like Bedouins you are referring to an ethnicity and to quote that black kid gif, "That's Racist!"
