That is a great question! I believe you can separate the two very easily. Different countries have different cultures but are the same race. Take India for example, you have the country of Punjab which holds a completely different culture than those of the Pakistan, they are however the same race. I hate the Pakistan culture because of their moral ethics but I admire the Punjabi culture very much. They are both Indian though. They even have a different dialect of language. This is just one example.
On a different note, the Nazi's were not a culture at all. They were a gang and that is totally different cowboybill.

First of all to hate someone because of their race is just asinine. To hate someone because of cultural differences is valid. For instance, there is a culture in Africa that circumcises its women. I don't like that culture. I don't like the white supremacists culture, either. Race and culture can be separated because the word "culture" is not soley a race issue. Culture is the arts, knowledge and sophistication or a shared belief system. By these definitions, it is very easy to separate race from culture.

Absolutely.
Culture is history. Let me throw our a hypothetical scenario..
We all know the Smurfs. Little blue guys that run around, sing and dance and for the most part stay our of trouble. Now, let's say they find their distant cousins, the imps. ( yes, I had about 5 seconds to come up with this, so work with me...)
Now, as the name implies, they are mischievous, evil little terrors that have nothing better to do that make trouble for everyone.
Now, Smurfette is out in the forest one day looking for smurf berries. Low and behold and imp crosses her path. After a few choice 'smurfings" from Smurfette and a some more " snarlings ' from the imp, they gradually find out that they really did hate each other at all. It was just bad history from along time ago, integrated into their culture that cause them to distrust. ( racism is another word for it ) And our two lucky heros develop a nice relationship and...use your imagination from there.
Well, this story is as old as humanity. It can be applied to everyday life.
I hope this helps - best wishes ( and yes, I not much of a storyteller )

We are all members of the same race. Human.
Culture is completley different some people not born into a specific culture try to emulate it while others born into that same culture try to leave it. I don't hate culture or human beings I choose to hate the personality of individual persons.

Absolutely race and culture are seperable.
The Hip-Hop culture, for example, does incorporate African-Americans; however not all African Americans are into the Hip-Hop culture.
Therefore the African-American ethnic group is not identified by the Hip-Hop culture, nore is the Hip-Hop culture identeified by the African-American ethnicity (as Hip-Hop incorporates other races as well).
A secondary example would be that of religion.
Christianity and Islam both have cultural identity; yet the ethnic (racial) mix of the two is similar.
There are black, white, asian, indian, arab etc... in both religions.
Therefore the race (ethnicity) is completely independant of the religion/culture.

I can sort of relate to your question. For example, I am Native American, a member of the Navajo Nation. The Navajo tribe isn't necessarily as flashy as the Sioux or Cherokee tribes.
Our ancestors didn't live in tee-pees or wear beaded buckskin clothes. These tribes get a lot of attention and some people like to brag about being 1/100th parts of them. Is this what you mean?
I'm not a hater, I'm merely using my own experience of being Native American to clarify. I am proud to be Navajo and I am 100% pure bred Navajo. Just don't group me into those other tribes.
