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.

Get the category culturemug. The opposite of pop culture. Not opposite because of it's level of oddness. Rather, opposite in it's level of uniqueness.

Beth: well, dressing up is part of the rugby culture!

Get the cultural parasitemug. 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.

Get the culture fitmug. 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.
