Well GG13, if you want to talk about respect, they haven't been called the offensive phrase you used r*d In***n for about 40 years. The ethnic group you are referring to are native Americans.
And OBVIOUSLY I am talking about British culture. The history we follow, the historical texts we read and that our culture is based on IS mostly about dead white, mostly upper class men. We live in a patriarchy. History has been written by those in the ruling classes. They create the traditions.
Your first rule REALLY ought to be, try not to be racist on a public forum.
As the vast majority of British people were white then it is unsurprising the traditions were set by white men, women at the time being second class citizens.
Things have now, thankfully, changed, women and other cultures are now creating new things which will become traditions. Everyone is free to follow, or not, any tradition they chose.
