No specific question, but we discussed “the culture of racism,” meaning, what is it about people (missionaries) that makes them feel that they can impose their ways on others. We discussed the Poisonwood Bible. We had a lovely summer dinner and nice, long walk. Our interesting discussion focused on “the culture of racism,” meaning, what is it about people (missionaries) that makes them feel that they can impose their ways on others. Not every culture did this, so we compared other books (ie: Hawaii by Michener) and history that we knew to see if there was something about some people having a culture which contained racist ideology – and that those happened to be the cultures which colonized countries with People of Color.
