So what the hell am I?

I'm taking a Cultural Anthropology class this summer. I figured since Anthropology is a pretty big part of my "interdisciplinary" major, I should at least be familiar with it's approach or perhaps have it as an option for a minor. So, the first class, the prof is describing the kind of assignments we have to do for this course and in one of the assignments we have to collect newspaper articles about cultures other than our own. The prof went on to describe what she meant by "our" culture...Canadian, Western...so no American, British, or European stories. Then she paused and said "Well, looking around, I can see that this is going to be a problem for some of you since you're not from a Western culture." Then she pointed out the non-white students and asked where they were from...one guy said China, another said Hong Kong, one girl was from Kazakhstan, a couple of people from Korea, one brown guy was from England, then she looked over at me and the other brown guy sitting in front of me...we both gave her a blanc stare (I'm not sure if the young man is an international student or "Canadian" like me). She didn't say anything to us and continued to go over assignment descriptions. Shortly after that, we started going over definitions of certain terms such as "ethnocentrism", "holistic", "enculturation" and "anculturation". She referred back to the newspaper assignment and said: "Whatever culture you were born into, that's "your" culture, no matter how assimiliated one might become, you can never purely belong to another culture". Uh...hello? What about people like me who were raised in different cultures (I came pretty young) or those who are from immigrant families (isn't that EVERY Canadian?)?? I started to think back to a class where we had a guest speaker lecture about Japanese animation and Culture. I was actually surprised with myself when I realized that I couldn't "read" the Anime like the majority of the class because even though I wasn't consiously aware of it, I had been taught the cultural ques in the images...am I not Canadian then?? Then I dismissed my thought because according to this prof, there's "White Canadians" and "Immigrant Canadians" and apparently being white equals being Canadian because you are otherwise an immigrant of sorts. So what the hell is this "multi-cultural" Canada that everyone keeps talking about? OH, I am going to have SO much fun in this class.
