Importance of ethnic culture

How important are cultural roots for yourself?

There are many races in this earth some with more culture, morals, influence, and values than others. That still doesn't change the fact that we all live in this earth together sharing what ever piece of land we live on. No matter what race we are -- we are always influenced to believe in our roots.

After all the creator of the earth made us all different in language, color of our skin, and the freedom of believing in anything we want. To me the meaning of my ethnic culture will always over power anything that comes in my way I know that in south Texas you don't get a lot of racism but I know for a fact that if I ever suffer through that horrible feeling I will stand by to what I was thought and to what I believe in.
