I ask this having been to events with national/ethnic dress, food, and other cultures. What can a white American say their culture is? It feels that for better or worse it’s been all melted together.

Trying to trace back to European roots feels disingenuous because I’ve been disconnected from those roots for a few generations.

This also makes me wonder was their any political motive in making white American culture be everything and nothing?

    Using the term white American culture is quite clear. Generalizing all of the west has a monolith is just silly.

    No one is propagandizing you.

      Okay, are Italians white? Because they were not always considered to be.

      Are Asians more white than Africans? Because according to law they were.

      Long story short, what is ‘white’ changes over time. Imagine if in India we were asking what was white Indian culture. There are white passing Indian people, so why not white Indian culture? Because they don’t divide themselves that way.

      You are just using bigotry and calling it science. (Not literally, I know how you people are)

      I bet you actually think no propaganda is shown to you. As if an episode of Law and Order wasn’t propaganda.

      If you don’t know how little you know on a subject, you shouldn’t make sweeping declarative statements about it.
