category culture

The way that we tend to group people based on their characteristics. It is a dehumanizing thought process and often collectively the origin of conflict. Stereotypes arise when people are put in boxes. Category culture proponents believe that we are all one and the same.

“Mom, is that a man or a woman?”
“Not sure, why?”
“Because I can’t tell.”
“Well it doesn’t really matter, they are human.”

In this example, the mother introduced the idea that category culture is unneeded for the individual to be understood as human.

culture absorber

A person or group that literally absorb someone else’s culture as their own and act as if it’s theirs. They are not just a Weeaboo or a Koreaaboo. They do it with everything.. e.g. A European visits an Asian country and becomes fascinated with their culture. When back in their country they start acting like the people of that country they visited e.g. Korea, even speaking broken versions of the language in an attempt to be the same as them. They even throw in a random foreign word into the middle of a sentence. They will especially do this around their friends and family and try to get them to act the same as them..

Mike: Hey Tom how are you today.
Tom: Fine how about you Tom.
Mike: I’m daebak..
Tom: You’re wha—
Mike: Wanna grab some ramyeon!!
Tom: You don’t even like ram—
Mike I’ll take that as a yes....
*Proceeds to take out two wooden sticks and act as if they are chopsticks*
Tom: Ah so you’re a culture absorber...

User culture

A culture that expects men to buy all the expensive gifts in a relationship. This culture is rooted in the past where men were almost always the primary income earners. Antiquated but carried forward by most cultures globally.

She keeps saying he should buy her more expensive things even tho she earns as much money as him. She clearly is pupetuating the User Culture.

culture fit

Cultural fit means that employees' beliefs and behaviors are in alignment with their employer's core values and company culture . But also a schneaky-ass way to only hire people who you like or who look like you.

"Unfortunately, even though you graduated magna cum laude from MIT and you've worked for Goldman Sachs for two years already even though you're only 18 - you being a black chick doesn't go with our culture fit of white nerdy guys from CalTech.
