    That depends, do you mean white ghetto? White trailor trash?White christian? White redneck? White country? White business man? Hmm.. I think your refurring to the well educated middle to upper class, not actually 'white'. That class can be identified by a few things. Correct, and proper english being the most important. Then the dress. Take the straw out of the mouth, out with the gold teeth that say 'money' across the grill. Huge gold chains have to go. That is only screaming 'I have money.' Which really means 'This is all the money I have.' Wear clothes that fit. Dont tilt the hat, like its fallin' off. Dont walk like your leg is 3 inches shorter than your(not refurring to you personally) other one. and on.. and on..

    You don't. Being white isn't taught. It's just being.

    you can not teach someone to be white, black, or yellow or any other color of the damn rainbow.. there is no way you can 'teach someone that' there are ways to teach people common curtousy (not saying African Americans or any other race doesnt have that) or you can teach them respect, honesty, and to be who they feel they truly are. now you can teach someone about the American history, sure! but no way no how will you or anyone in this world teach someone to be 'WHITE' thats ridiculous..!!

    I'm not really sure. I'd actually love to enjoy some white culture, but nearly all white people won't refer to anything being 'a white thing', because they are afraid of anyone interpreting this to mean 'for whites only'. White anscestry also comes from so many different countries and is diverse enough that it's hard to find anything that all white people can relate to. And honestly, I think white people are economically the most succeptible to consumer culture, which has a tendancy to override any deeper cultural intrests.(Turn off your TV)

    That's an easy question! All you have to do is act like you are perfect at everything you do, no matter the situation. Tell everyone what they want to hear. Do what they want you to do and basically deceive everyone in the outside world as to what is really going on in your 'world'.

    I begin by teaching that there are many ethnic backgrounds and being blonde haired and blue eyed could only mean several of those many heritages are “a part of” who we are (Caucasian white) We are a big category all lumped in together. I wouldn’t begin to try to teach my child how to be white, or black or purple. I would devote time to teaching how all people are the same (compassion) and how we all have feelings and emotions (empathy) and I would spend the time teaching my child about the many ethnic backgrounds that we all come from. I find studying and learning about cultural differences interesting and so does my child. We also spend time learning about people who are disabled and/or different as the occasion arises. We learn that some people are just better than others based on what is in their heart and spirit and not what is on the outside… not skin color or if they look different / same. We spend the time we have to teach to learn to look for “qualities” in a person that are valuable and good and to choose friends based on those qualities. Just today we finalized our adoption of a little white girl and I’ve no intentions of spending time teaching her how to be “white” but will spend our time focused on how to be a good human being and an asset to the world around her.

    White people don't have customs, culture or traditions. Everything they have is copied or stolen from other races.

    ok stop, and think about this question. first of all, the 'so called white race' is NOT a culture, it is a label to be put on those who cannot be classified under the socially acceptable racial terms. I personally could be called white...my skin is light, i have the indian bone structure of my father, but light eyes, skin and hair of my mother. So many kinds of people are thrown into the salad bowl that is 'white'... what would you like to be taught... my grandmother tought me to crotchetand make tamales. my mom taught me to climb trees and be a tomboy. White, is not a culture..never will be.

    You can only teach someone to be themselves and who they really are. you can ask someone when they around your family to not do certain things but you cannot teach someone to be a race of any kind. that was a ridiculous question.

    I don't thing the question should be 'how to teach a person to be white,' I think it should be 'how to teach a person to be themself.' Trying to teach a person to fit in a specific culture is somewhat unfair to them. They should be allowed to find themselves and then be themselves. It's not all about fitting in the white, black, hispanic, etc. society, it's about being yourself. Once someone has figured out who they are, they will eventually fit in with those who have the same values, morals, traditions, etc.

    No offence, but that has got to be the most stupid question I've ever heard. Nobody's just white. There's always a backround. As an African American has African culture, a white person always has some type of culture. There's just a wider span of cultures for whites. There's German, Italian, Irish, and the list can go on and on. Also, there's no such thing as how to be white. Just like there's no such thing as how to be black. Everybody's different. It's culture, your backround and ancestors.

    There's no such thing as teaching a person to be white. People are people and 'trying to be white' is a simply a stupid cliche' in my opinion.

    Being white and being black are not all that different from each other. Really I don't think that is a white culture. If you look at celebritys..... they are all in the same socionomic class, and therefore they lead similar life styles. Being black and white really has no part in any of it
