What is the White Mainstream?

White Mainstream has been an issue throughout American history. There is no specific definition, but it can be considered in various aspects. Individuals can construe that; White refers to the Anglo culture while mainstream refers to any conventional or dominate tendencies practiced in society. It is easy to perceive that many of the norms present in our society are viewed as white mainstream, because Whites have historically maintained power and authority. Due to the influence and superiority common practices often take on characteristics of the White culture. Values will stop being considered White, middle class, or western when society ceases to identify aspects of life with racial and economic social classes.
