Do White People have a “culture”?

Question

I look at Indigenous cultures of the past that they keep alive, really interesting.
I toured the Caribbean and African cultures that were more for historical tourism. Most people live in the now with cell phones and netflix.

I’m seeing a pattern that culture is really about tradition and history. So do white people have a culture? I dont really know, nor care. I have no traditions save Christmas and all that.

So why are white nationalists so worried about immigration and “white culture”?

Apparently most people perceive or like to perceive "culture" as something as primitive as food, dress, music, dances and other really shallow things, as it's the only area where cultures of other races might be interpreted as "better" than white culture under a certain viewpoint.

I perceive "culture" in much broader terms, and that is personal liberty (do whatever you want with your body, for example; wear what you want (within reason, ofc) without getting into trouble with some sort of "morality police" etc.), legal institutions (equal opportunities, equal rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion or lack of one etc.), political institutions and so on. So yes, we do have a very deep culture that shapes the world, a culture that other races eventually tend to copy (or at least some parts of it), with different degrees of success.

Heck, that's why everyone tries to get closer to whites to begin with instead of focusing on their own area, be they immigrants or already being born in majority-white country, as living with us is much better than living with any other race. A prime example is those BLM founders that bought property and moved to the whitest neighborhood available as soon as they got the money from their sheep. Or any rapper, for instance, as soon as he gets some kind of money, immediately ditches whatever he comes from and moves to a majority-white area.

You're right. They don't. (Not Americans, anyway.)

White culture is based more on the area you live in rather than skin colour. Your shared history is more focused on local events rather than the idea everyone of the same colour shares the same one. So no there's no single white culture but you can identify specific cultures with white people.

No. White people are a mixture of different cultures from different countries just like any race

Stoner710 · Answer

Of course white people have a culture last time I checked French is not white Nordic is not white that includes Sweden Norway Denmark finish. The Slavic people which includes Bulgarian Slovenian Serbia Moldova Romania Russia Ukraine Georgia Estonia Croatia Montenegrin they’re all white do you mean Greeks are white the British or white every single one of these different nationalities has their own culture none of them can be considered as an entire racist culture but these countries are all white so what is the believe in Greek reasoning and Judeo Christian ethics which comes from white Middle Eastern they’re all massively different therefore there is no singular white culture just like there is no singular black culture or Asian culture the idea of that is stupid. The idea of anime being Asian culture is stupid because anime primarily comes from Japan you have animation and then you have anime and the Chinese do not partake in anime nor do the Koreans nor do the Indonesian or Malaysian so how can you say that anime is Asian culture when it’s specifically Japanese culture the idea of bringing all cultures into one racial group is stupid.

It's a fallacy of, especially black people, that there is "white". No such thing, there are many sub cultures. White people don't think of themselves as white, but generally associate in other ways and that likely includes other colors. This is true of black people.. both are a broad generalization and grouping that fall apart quickly. People more associate with those of like values, morals, standard of living.

Most African Americans are as African as an American is Italian. It's a loose association and quite different people.

Culture has been watered down by secularism, and multi-culturalism, but white people certainly have a culture. White American culture, although each ethnic group among them has their own heritage, does have a distinct characteristics. The language we use, the way we talk, the shared understanding of who we are and where we come from (whether they take pride in it, as conquerors, and freedom fighters, or feel shame for it). We have a judeo-Christian undertone to our morality, and are heavily influenced by Enlightenment era human rights, and individuality. Our clothes, our competitiveness, our protestant work ethic, all add up to a coherent culture, which one can only see upon living elsewhere.

Again, it's watered down, and subtle, whereas if you go to another (homogeneous) country you'll see the culture amplified.

Whites have culture, history and stories that were present in movies and TV shows. Movies and TV shows are taking our rich culture and Diversifying it. By that I mean taking white people out of their own stories and replacing them with people of Color.

So now every race has their own culture but white people's culture is now every-bodies therefore white people have no culture of their own. Cultural appropriation is what White people do which is completely different to what colored people do of coarse.

Just look at all the technology, modern conveniences, advances in medicine and everything else we have from beautiful houses, airplanes, smartphones, to electricity. It's all White culture. Yes, everyone else culturally appropriated everything that White people invented, but we let them.

I feel like rural and country culture would be the closest thing, or the preppy suburban culture. You could say not every white person is like that, but is every Black person a dancer, a rapper, from the hood? No. Pop culture also really blurs the lines, as it is composed of many different cultures, but in all honesty mostly black and hispanic culture.

You don’t seem to think they do. Hardly surprising. You’re the same Lefty who thinks women and disabled people shouldn’t have guns to defend themselves, that a man can give birth, and that White people are somehow responsible for all the pain and misery in the world but they don’t really have their own culture.

But Black people do, right?

AngryCarl · Answer

There's no such thing as "white culture". Most whites have their own national culture to some degree. Unless you mean Americans, who wouldn't know culture if it smacked them in the face.
