The White Mainstream

An unfortunate relic of our evolutionary past is our propensity to characterize and type every person we see. People are pattern-seeking, and stereotypes were a useful tool for the nomadic people of the plains. They hadn't the time to really get to know the animal before they decided it was dangerous or edible. Suspicion is an instinct that was selected through evolution and is ingrained within people.

The White Mainstream is a series of goals that most white parents attempt to instill in their children. Suburban lifestyle, middle-class existence.
