One of the arguments I see parroted online by people who say this is that, whilst individual white countries may have unique cultures, white people as a whole do not. This makes no sense to me, virtually all of the European nations have things in common with each other, they share similar institutions, cultural values, religions, their countries have long histories of interaction and cross pollination. How does that not qualify as a general white culture? They claim its because an Italian and a Spaniard don't have anything that bonds them in the same way that Black people do due to their shared historical experience, but I don't buy that.
you are a retarded faggot
"White people" in the context of American culture war issues just means "White Americans". While strictly untrue, I do agree that White American culture is fake and gay and boring. Much of their inferiority complex towards Europe stems from awareness of this fact.
>>18551607It's a flimsy anti-White canard that only holds if you never think about the implications of it, or if you have the circular belief that only nonwhites can have "culture"The slightest observation destroys it entirely
>>18551607It's called western culture.
>>18551623White American Culture is an extension of Northern-European Protestant culture. It's funny how leftoid historians, like other historians, will talk about how these cultural trends exist right up until the 1900s, when suddenly whites culture never existed.
>make your culture the global default>"wtf why don't we have any culture"at any rate, supremely american threadblack americans and liberians have entirely different culturessimilarly, liberians have a completely different culture to tanzaniansand tanzanians have a completely different culture to afro-saudis your culture is not something you see, you see it when it is absent
>>18551623Americans see Europe like Disneyland or Medival Times except with worse accommodations. A place to vacation, see the Queen, slip her a $20 tip and then start clapping.
>>18551607This phrase is for people in America where most blacks are descendants of slaves in which they developed a “black culture” and whites are the descendants of immigrants from Europe and will usually still have distinct cultural backgrounds like Jewish Irish Italian German etc so that’s usually the point of contention American whites could maybe get grouped up now as the same culture due to shared similarities but American English probably have the best claim to a “white culture” in America
>>18551652The only people who view it that way are extremely far left losers on twitter that you shouldn’t really care about
>>18551607>an Italian and a Spaniard don't have anything that bonds them in the same way that Black people do due to their shared historical experienceRome?
what is white culture in a contemporary context though? i say this as a concerned citizen rather than a snarky leftist what values are shared by whites? what traditions that are still regularly prat iced etc?off the top of my head when i try to think of something the only thing that comes to mind is family gatherings for christmas, easter, and thanksgiving. also maybe school dances, silly as it might sound, seem to me like a coming of age ritual/tradition, but i left school in 2012 so i dont know how big of a part that isthese are the only aspects of contemporary life as a white person that feel like real culture, and something still widely practised by most white people sometimes it feels to me like whites genuinely don't have culture, not as a snaky put down, but as a tragic analysis of how a combination of nihilism, multiculturalism, consumerism, and technology (television, social media) have aggressively altered the way people in white societies live i guess social media and netflix is white culture now. i dont know
>listening to anything seething brown retards say>everDo not do this
>>18551656There are numerous non-Protestant Americans that are considered white, though. So it's not that simple.Also American religious culture is clearly very different from European religious culture.>>18551607>How does that not qualify as a general white culture?Because, in the context of the US, those cultural values, religions, and institutions are also participated in by non-white people. It's hard to say "English is a white language" when the majority of speakers now come from India and Africa and elsewhere.
>>18551652>anti-WhiteRacism is a good thing though.
>>18551856None of those things are uniquely white, though. You can't build an exclusively white identity around them because, obviously, Black people and Asian people celebrate Christmas.Actually, white people are increasingly gaining a shared heritage through their resistance to policies like AA, DEI, migration, reparations, and a pervasively hostile rhetoric that assigns at least partial ethnic guilt to colonialism, slavery, etc. In the same way that Black Americans were, essentially, given a shared cultural identity through slavery and subsequent oppression, so too are whites cultivating a shared heritage now in response to overwhelming external force.This is, perhaps, the ultimate benefit of mass migration. Allowing us to undergo a process of becoming Jewish.
>>18551876Niggers have no history, white people built the modern world. Anything beyond that is pure copium
>>18551882/pol/tranny meltdown
>>18551882You can have a history without building the modern world. Black Americans have moments in time that practically defined their identity and shared heritage. This isn't even arguable. Most of these moments are demarcated by a change in their external status within white society. In other words, being discriminated against strengthens your identity and culture because it gives everyone within a group a shared experience.The case isn't as clear with white people because whites came to the US piecemeal and different white groups were discriminated against while others weren't.That is, until today, where there's immense looming resentment against white people and a demand to rectify historical 'injustices' stretching back literal centuries. The passing of, say, a reparations bill, would be a watershed moment for white cultural identity.
>>18551883>seething coon
>>18551887White people already pay reparations through the welfare state and allowing shitskins to even live in white owned countries in the first place.
>>18551856You have a hard time seeing it because of two reasons. One, you speak of culture like it is something one only performs as certain events, like wearing a costume, doing a dance or observing a holiday. Culture permeates every aspect of your daily life, like how casual you can be with your teacher/boss to the structure of your jokes, your stories or the range of music that's popular in society. Two, you also seem to think that once enough non-white people adopt white culture then it stops being white culture. Because white culture is so widespread across the globe you have become saturated with it and it is easy to only see it as some generic, global culture. When you see a Chinese military parade you don't even register that they are wearing western berets, western military uniforms and are marching like a western military. Blue jeans and a t-shirt? Western. The suits that have become the international standard for business and diplomacy? Western. You see it so often that you become blind to it.
>>18551856>what is white cultureIt's American culture viewed through the lens of racial superiority. The vast majority of people just call it "American culture" if they even have a name for it at all. The only people who talk about "White" culture are race obsessed weirdos and minorities.
There are white cultures. As in, cultures of peoples that are commonly considered white.Greek, British, German, French, etc... all of the above are rightly celebrated everywhere in their countries or their diaspora populations.In the same way, Turkish, Syrian, Persian, Indian cultures all exist and are celebrated; but nobody celebrates Brown culture or Yellow culture. To the extent that Black culture does exist and is celebrated, it's just a function of existing in solidarity in opposition to being the outgroup; and not so much because all Africans celebrate the same culture.It's just not typical for any people to celebrate a "racial culture". So when you celebrate British or Irish or Swedish culture it makes sense to people. But when you celebrate "white culture" people suspect it's just being used as an exclusionary bludgeon against other races and cultures, and not so much because it's something people organically identify with, any more than Spanish folks would celebrate with Arabs, because of some incidentally shared history and culture, or white Americans would celebrate with native Americans because they have some shared history and cultural exchange.
>>18551607See, brownoids and pisscolored gooks are allowd to have an arab or asian "culture", meanwhile whitey isn't. You are really underestimating the amount of shitskins and non-whites of all stripes on this board constantly countersignaling the notion.
It is mainly because western countries rapidly modernized and unlike Japan where racism and geographic distance caused them to maintain a cultural distance, Europeans were Americanizing as early as the 1920s.
>>18551623>inferiority against Europe Still assmad about air conditioning, eh Hans?
>>18552114I have air conditioning. Hilarious that you failed to quote the post correctly though.
>>18551607>they share similar institutionsThey share them now >cultural valuesNot really even within Europe some countries are more socially conservative than others.>ReligionsEven ignoring the fact that Christianity is an Asian religion and most of its praticante aren't even white, there are several of Christian denominations that are in conflict with eachother.>their countries have long histories of interaction European history as we know it now only starts in the middle ages before that Rome was more connected with other Mediterranean societies.>How does that not qualify as a general white culture?I already explained above
>>18551607>all of the European nations have things in common with each other, they share similar institutions, cultural values, religionsThe main problem is that white explicitly describes a skin color/genetic, which doesn't inherently have a culture. 'European' culture is fine, since Europe is a place with countries and a history. It would also be retarded to call Middle-Eastern culture "brown skinned culture". So just use European and Western culture, problem solved.But the big issue is, the definition "similar institutions, cultural values, religions, their countries have long histories of interaction and cross pollination" absolutely includes Central and South America which Ameritards (who want to be the arbiter of what is white for some reason) absolutely don't regard as White or Western.
>>18551856There is basically no culture in America that is unique to American whites and not shared by non-whites in the country. This is how countries work. There is American culture, Canadian culture, European culture which is just the collective term for the cultures of all countries within Europe (and what is part of Europe is up for debate).
>>18551950"Black culture" basically always means "African American culture", the term is never used when someone is talking about Africa itself, they either just say African culture(s) or Ghanian etc. culture. Nobody in European countries where there are a lot of people with African decent uses it either.
>>18551607It’s a poor argument based on the popular understanding of culture as referring only to clothing and food customs. Non-white culture in the Western world is almost entirely defined in these terms; their clothing and food customs compared explicitly in opposition to ours. The “ours” or “norm” here is understood as the “no culture” because something that is normative is not seen as “ethnic” and thus “not cultural”. The whole idea is sociologistic abuse of layers of popular misunderstanding of what culture is and it stands uncorrected because white racists have no power in the humanities
>>18551607Every European country has its own distinct culture and just because some ''white'' amerigolem is %56 german doesn't mean he get to claim their culture. There are some distinctively american things like consumerism, eating burgers and onlyfans but whether that is worthy of calling it a culture is another question on its own.
>>18551607White Western culture has become universal that it's taken for granted
>>18551607No such thing as cultureits a made up idea. the strong tell the weak what to do.
>>18551607>virtually all of the European nations have things in common with each otherEuropeans emphasize their distinctions, especially from Americans and new world realizations about race. Think of the whole of Europe and especially the UK as like New England psychologically. But they're actually more retarded, rather than less.
The air alone that you're breathing is White culture you fucking nigger lying Jew. White were innovative enough to create a healthy enough environment all over the world for that to be possible. YOU'RE WELCOME.
>>18551607Its called Western culture. That's the common culture most of Europe has. And it doesn't map neatly onto what people regard as "white", which tends to be somewhat fluid. Arguably a lot of Russians are a lot "whiter" in terms of phenotype than most Italians. But Italy has been a core part of Western civilization since its inception, Russia has only been at most superficially Western since the end of the 17th century.
>>18551866Yes scoring goals is a good thing in soccer, but the point is to score them on the opposing team not on yourself.>yhhh sheeit I still don’t unnastandWe know
I think what we call "white culture" is just the things people get from not having small brains (like what equatorial people have) or brain damage from chemicals and being raised in a stable household where you aren't rewarded for being a scammer.
