I like when people say this because what does it mean? Even in the United States there isn’t a unified “white culture”. 4 guys from Baton Rouge, Provo, Los Angeles, and ashwaubenon are pretty different
I love white culture so much.

yeah, when defining culture it’s got “fuzzy” boarders. everyone has culture but saying there’s an entire culture solely tied to race is not how it works. there’s also region, socio-economic status, history, acculturation, and syncretism/creolization. there’s also local and national cultural practices that get embedded in various groups. when studying culture all of that has to be examined to actually pin it down

Like, the reason in America we have a more umbrella idea of “black/hispanic/asian culture” is bc these different cultures have been forced to combine into one to find support and livelihoods that white people also did. They all molded into one, but particularly for white and Hispanic peoples they endured a form of oppression and racism unlike white people. We stripped them of cultural identity so they could be slaves/servant class. There is still Italian, German, Irish, English cultural divide

Black people do not have that option for the most part. While it’s also changed, Black Americans vs African Immigrants have cultural differences in their own right. Asian Americans vs Asian immigrants have cultural differences.

but most hispanic/latin cultures are more culturally connected to immigrant cultures then black Americans are due to their displacement and the striping of cultural roots that happened in the slave trade
