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?
“white"Americans”" don’t have a culture
*edit for clarity
it’s a 250 year old racist invention, I’m not gonna respect it
that’s the whole cultural heritage though, racist imperials who think they’re white dole out “recognition of whiteness” to lower castes and pretend they have a racial hierarchy instead of a capital caste system
it fucking sucks, don’t claim it
Meh this a weak take, plenty of states have been racist and imperialist. Connecting every individual to the states violence is lame.
Yeah my take is that people who don’t have a problem with that and adapt those cultural signifiers are usually just fucking Nazis. HBU?
Having a problem with a state and being of a certain group is not the same thing. Did Germans or Japanese stop being themselves post WW2? Your opinion is nonsense.
