@nobullyplz well yeah, that's kind of what bowling alone is ultimately about - whites withdrawing from a harmful culture. So they still have these ideas, they just aren't reflected in the culture anymore.

I think the biggest thing that exemplifies that is that picture from NYC from like the 40s on easter where all those skyscrapers have their lights done up as crosses. To think you'd see that now is just insane, but for them back then it just made sense.
