Wrong. Europeans say America lacks a culture because our culture consumed everyone else’s culture to the point that they no longer view it as ours.

Spoiler alert: it’s still ours.

Europe is eons older than America.

White Americans have America. This is our achievement.

Food, dance, music, visual performance: those are the primary markers of culture in every civilization known to man. Other countries don’t just consume ours; our version of those things is now the default version across huge swaths of the planet.

What food are we exporting? McDonald’s? Am I indulging in Italian culture everytime I eat a bowl of spaghetti? Probably have to give this one to the French and Italians if so.

What dance are we exporting? We sure seemed to love the shite out of Macarena and Gangnam style


Music, yeah the world does love our pop stars. Feels weird seeing KPop and JPop all over our media these days though.


Visual performance, meh. That is entirely dependent on where you go in the world.

You’re missing a few other markers of culture, namely religion.

Edit:

Also,

I'm seeing younger people say it. And I think it's because for much of what you mentioned, young white people are consuming or adopting versions of black culture for that.

my reply is always "the architecture says otherwise" especially when their claim is American culture is mostly African

No, you and I are talking about American culture, or lack thereof, are we not?

My dog, it's crushed up peanuts. I think the earliest recorded recipes come from the Mayans.

How would Africans invent something that wasn't even native to their continent?


I had a black guy at work that insisted turkeys came from Africa and Africans invented cooking turkey. I just don't understand.

Besides, it's not like anyone invented the produce. They just happened to live where it grew. It's luck if anything. If you were the first to cook something, it's likely just because you were the ones that lived by it.

White suburban culture is the greatest, safest, and most prosperous culture in the history of mankind.

I am talking about white Americans vs white Europeans, but that in particular comment was tongue in cheek

It actually is an interesting debate.

Consider the muffuletta, a dish incorporating French and Italian concepts originating from immigrants in New Orleans.

Who claims this? In my opinion, this is decidedly American because it wouldn’t exist without the culture blend from immigration. But does anyone consider this “American”? No, we first think of New Orleans; not America.

That’s the problem with “American culture”. There is no identity other than the lack of an identity.

Shooting. Shooting is American.

Sam Colt is our cultural forefather.

We're pretty good at liberty as well. At least we used to be. People from around the World are in awe of the free will and privilege we take for granted.

American culture, while not as storied as our European ancestors, is relatively young and is still developing. Unfortunately, the development is being destroyed by some, but not all, of the 13%, and perhaps more importantly, by the large percentage folks not in the 13% that appear to glorify and to want to be just like them.

I saw this said by a liberal woman in a video a few weeks ago. At first I thought it was ridiculous. After thinking about it I think she is onto something.

In general, northern and western white liberals do not have much culture. They are some of the most basic people on earth. I think it’s a reason why they are so open to invading cultures and why so many are obsessed with politics. Their weird beliefs are their religion and their culture. It’s why there is so much more violence that comes from liberal people.

Same ones that say this blow their paychecks on hellcats, Hennessy, Louis Vuitton etc so I doubt they could even see past their own nose.

Scots were the first to fry most things

Battered fried chicken was invented in Africa. West Africa, iirc.
