None of those other races influence popular culture in America, because they're minorities just like Black people. Because we all have our OWN cultures, all of us have to adapt in some ways to fit in. Whether it's processing our hair, changing our names to hide our ethnicity, or trying desperately not to speak with an accent in order not to be judged, we are trying to blend into a society that is not our own.
