What are some differences between racially-based culture and culture in general outside of racially-based culture? And why do people say white people have no culture? (hexbear.net)

The first question is adressing the lives of everyone everywhere. But on this topic, I'm also curious about white people, who may feel like they have no racial identity. It is often said the white people have no culture. I feel like I agree that they don't when it comes to racially based things, but I also feel like they can have culture in other ways.

White USians have to steal culture from other white people and tell everyone they're part Irish or some shit while they pretend to like soccer since that semester they studied abroad in England.

i mean as a non kkkracker i strongly prefer that over them embracing the american construct of whiteness. part of abandoning that construct means that whitemericans need something to engage with besides post ironic self loathing or whatever and if the only real harm to come from them exploring ancestral roots is some upset euros, i'm pretty ok with that too.

Nah. I think anomie of culture is actually the correct way to go. I dont think white usians deserve or should have access to 'ancestral roots' because the vast majority are so far removed that it might as well not exist
