If western means white always seems to depend on who wants to attack and defend which side.

Would the addition of "culture" change it?

Western to me in the context of the story was vs Eastern.  I just didn't assume "white".  

But then I also look at the source.  If Tucker Carlson is talking about "western culture" it's clear what he means vs say this article saying "western".

I'd rather discuss the rise in attacks and why, less than who.
