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?
Christianity doesn’t strike me as especially white. Not in the way that other religions strike me as being not-white. I can name some excellent musicians who are white muslims, but it’s still very unusual. In contrast, Christianity is very popular among very many races. Like, if you’re from south america, mexico, central or southern africa, china, russia, the philippines, and many other places too, you’re very likely christian. I suppose I don’t encounter many indian or arabic christians, but they aren’t terribly rare either.
Oh boy. I totally skipped over the white part lol.
I agree with you. I guess some of what I said will hold true for white Americans, but may be more generically Southern than white
