Thats because there is no "white culture"

Those who come from a specific group that is easily identifiable tend to see the world through their own rose colored glasses and assume because they're part of a group that congregates together and has attachments based on something like skin color, then the assumption is all so called white people do the same but I contend that they don't but maybe I'm looking through my own rose colored glasses

I believe cultures are formed through solidarity of common experience and can happen to any color, gender or ethnicity

there's no Whitlandia where all crackers hail from nor common culture for all whities to defend, the whole idea is a red herring that does nothing but divide people unnecessarily

Cultural solidarity is vanishing because it is now labeled racist. I'm not even talking about race...I am talking about culture. It is part of human nature and the fabric of who we are to share common food, ways to communicate and so forth. It doesn't mean that I hate anyone just because certain traditions bring me comfort. Weird times.

Outstanding post.

Race and culture are two very different things.

And, it's the culture war that is being lost. The media/left have created this culture of "inclusion" that is in fact the most exclusive of anything that I have ever seen. You're only included if you conform and believe what they tell you to believe. If you don't, regardless of the color of your skin, they tell you to GTFO.

It isn’t racist for an Italian family to have huge get together as with lots of food, loud people and so forth. In that case anyone would be welcome to come but you better fold yourself into the culture in that scenario. This isn’t racist, it is just the way humans are.

This is what happens when you have pride for being white. This is Tom Hanks' son, and he is being roasted for this. You have no right to be proud of your whiteness. None.

Culture. War.

Nothing can ever again be part of white culture. If only white people want to do it, it must be eliminated.

I live in a place that has what they call NFT parties at the end of summer. Stands for No Fucking Tourists. I guess it's only a matter of time before this is labeled as racist.

to each there own but I think its nonsense to be proud of any skin pigment, regardless of shade or color

its a meaningless thing to hang your hat on imo

be proud of sound character, representing truth, caring about others, spreading peace, defending the helpless, etc,etc...

skin pigment?? nah, complete waste of time but I'll admit it is easier to focus on that type of nonsense than the aforementioned actions

I agree. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy that exists in this country. You can be proud of every race, unless you're white. If you say the words "I'm proud to be a white man. White men are great." you are instantly racist. Yet we have black history month and woman's appreciation month or whatever the fuck it is.

I hear you and you're right, I've said it here and elsewhere multiple times, "white" is the last acceptable pejorative, the hypocrisy and cognitive disconnect of this and the examples you mentioned drives me nuts
