Cultural_Superiority

Cultural Superiority 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.
