I thought Lightspeed's original comment about being influenced by the culture of the society in which you live* to be a reasonably fair comment, but not really much else that came after that.

I think leadinjector was right suggesting that he is confusing culture and heritage, particularly when talking about 'defining' or 'controlling' your heritage - you can choose what you acknowledge and what you ignore (like that black slave great-great grandmother) but you can't change it, and your heritage is not affected by your society, except in relation to the above and what you choose to acknowledge.
