Cultural Superiority

In W.E.B. DuBois’ essay, “The White World”, he believes that cultural superiority consists of four major things. These things are: (1) Beauty and health of body, (2) Mental clearness and creative genius, (3) Spiritual goodness and receptivity, and (4) Social adaptability and constructiveness (40). In this essay I plan to show how the white majority hold many of these traits and how the minority is slowly, but surely, catching up.

The first of Dubois’ examples is beauty and health of body; in the white majority there are many people who fill this description. First of all, there are a lot of white athletes who would be considered very healthy. A few years back the majority of athletes were white and the minorities didn’t make up much of the population of sports. But things started to change and the minorities were starting to move into fields of sports, and showed that they have just as much talent as many of the white players, such as baseball. Baseball today is still predominantly white, but many players are coming from as far as Japan to play in our major leagues. Some of the best players in baseball and football are black and Porte Rican. I don’t think anyone would disagree tha

Where in the past something may have been unthinkable, the minorities are making it a reality. The only oppression that minorities face to day would be their own self-doubts and racial bias. Anything is possible if you try.

t some of basketballs greatest players are in the minority. Some names are instantly recognized if mentioned, such as, Jordan, and O’Neal. With this superior ability to play sports comes a decent amount of prestige and social superiority. As far as beauty goes, there are very few famous black models that are around today and even fewer of other minority groups.

Dubois’ fourth and final example is social adaptability and constructiveness. In the white majority, people are expected to make more of a difference in the society than a member of the minority. The minority members are expected to be in prison by age eighteen and generally not given much hope for. On the other hand the white majority is generally more respected for whatever field it is that they work in. The minority is often kept from reaching very high status due to the assumption that they are not intelligent enough to handl
