Western culture and values are absolutely important, but I don't give two shits about the white race. You can be non-white and be a part of western culture, and you can be white and be completely opposed to western culture.
the problem is certain white folks who are trying to wall off american culture from fellow non-white americans, under the guise of "preserving heritage". thus the term "white america".
these same people often condemn the use of "african american" ('you're MURICAN. PERIOD!'😉 with no sense of irony and self-awareness.

Originally posted by Bashar TegWhatever... I'm just calling it like I see it. Nobody is "taking white culture" away. White people just typically don't strongly identify themselves with their race like that. If you ask what their culture is they will usually just start naming European countries. That kind of identity politics typically only applies to groups that are supposedly marginalized. If you see it different, then you say what you think. I'll be interested to hear it. But don't resort to setting up lazy straw mans like you just did... that's just boring.

it's not 'strawman' if it's a constantly demonstrated phenomenon and especially when not aimed at any opponents. sorry if you took it personally, big guy, but that's not really my problem.

Because we don't. We don't ever portray ourselves as a collective except when it comes to guilting ourselves into submission to other cultures. Other than that, "whiteness" has essentially been abandoned as anything worth celebrating or identifying with.
But you just said "we" :/
Originally posted by Bashar TegSo it wasn't directed at me, just apparently triggered by me talking about white people not having a culture. And the people it was directed at are apparently not part of this conversation. Got it.

Originally posted by EmperordmbI feel like this is a well intended but false liberal mantra. There are things to identify with in each of the criteria you listed. They shouldn't be your sole or even primary form of identity, but they are still there.
Yes and people shouldn't identify themselves with their race it's ****ing retarded and pathetic. If you have nothing else in life to identify with but your race, sex, or sexual orientation you live a sad life.
