It’s become monetized and the irony is, white people are the ones who have monetized it.

What is white culture? Is it European culture? What is European culture?

Reread @aragorn’s post, ding dong, paying close attention to the difference between “white people” and Italian, Irish, Swedish, Norwegian, etc.

What even is white, though? In my area of the U.S. it’s mostly Germans from Russia and Norwegians. I know a guy from Minnesota who is of Finnish descent.
I go to school with a Czech dude who is white, but has a completely different “culture” than the Norweigan-descended people in my town. There’s Spanish, Dutch, and Italian students too. Again, they look “white” but they consider themselves very different from each other.
One of my childhood friend’s dad is realllllly into his Scottish heritage.
White doesn’t really mean anything. That’s the point. It’s already been said. What is white? It means different things to different people. The only people who are proud to say that they are white, and not English or German or something, are white supremacists.

What’s the problem with that? “I’m proud to be Greek and please don’t judge me for that, since I won’t judge you for being Korean” doesn’t seem to be a bad thing to say. Other than arguing over what “judge” means.
The gangs where I lived, which was essentially a shithole, were afraid of 2 things.
- Vietnamese gangs.
- China gangs that got out of China in the early 80s.
Why? Because they had formed rules over the past decades to maintain some form of order including paying off cops to leave them alone in some activities like opening nightclubs and getting tipoffs when police were planning raids. The foreign gangs didn’t and since they just got out of way worse shitholes and had nothing to lose, they would fuck you up just to make their presence felt so they could claim territories more easily.
EDIT:
Here’s a example. Even in school, there were youth gang members and some of us had gang affiliations but weren’t gangsters but we needed some protection for various reasons, with protection from racism being a big factor. One of my reasons was I had to work after school in a location where if you ran into gangsters, they’d ask you if what your “number” was(which means whether you were a gangster and if you were in a rival gang). If you stated you were a “civilian”, anything could happen. They would either follow the rules if they were cool and not bother you because it was taboo to bother “civilians”, or they’d fuck around with you if they were assholes. If you were a gangster, you had to declare it. In our case, we’d just say we were affiliated and state the name of the gang “protecting you” and it’d be cool. There was sort of a “gang lingo” that I had to know and I even memorized rival gang “poems” in case I was in the wrong place which was in another gang’s territory.
So, we followed certain rules in school. If there was a scuffle, we’d agree to meet after school in an isolated area and settle it with each group either choosing a representative, or the guys who got into the initial scuffle, to fight one on one, with the understanding that we’d bury the hatchet regardless of who wins. That’s the way the gangs did it sometimes unless it was about something serious. It was a proper process. One side chose the time. The other side chose the place. The fight would last the time it took for a cigarette to finish burning. Kids from both sides would hold back anyone trying to interfere with the fight unless it was too one-sided and one guy was in danger of getting severely injured. There’d be like around 10 of us on each side. Of course, we’d have some form of weapon which was usually a blunt object in case things got out of hand. Sometimes there were all out gang fights which I’d never be a part of but that was rare until the China and Vietnamese dudes got into the scene.
If you started shit with someone from China or Vietnam, he’d bring 2 or 3 his guys and they’d immediately take out machetes, knives or something that could be used as a club and start attacking lol. No talk, just 3 or 4 dudes going against around 10.
The fucking gang violence escalated so much even in schools after a decade or 2 of relative “peace” prior to this the government and cops were compelled to start their own operations cracking down on them even though they were still collecting money from them lol. Which is why I decided to just go to the gym to bulk up so the racists kids wouldn’t bother me and hung out with the regulars there, who were mostly of a different race but were cool with me but they were crazy in their own ways. For the Indian dudes, it was like a custom to go start shit in clubs on weekends and show off their injuries like badges of honor on Monday lol.

Yeah, pretty much. This is why I can’t support the majority of left politics around race even though I’m all onboard for an equal society.

Agreed.
What is Black culture, What is African culture? What is Mexican?
Answer these and maybe I might try explaining white culture.
Hey cock snap, you can nit pick the definition white culture/s as much as you want it still doesn’t change the hypocrisy on what other cultures can do without censure, and white people can’t.
You might be able to show some pride in America for those cultures you mention. You won’t get the same as a Black history month though. Collectivise these white cultures to any degree and its immediately racist. Not so if its say Asians though, or Africans etc.
Its a lot harder these days to do the same in say Sweden or Norway, Germany, Holland, definitely in England, and Australia. Fly the St George Cross of England flag anywhere in the UK it will likely get taken down, cause racism. Try to point out demographic change in these countries and you will immediately be slapped down. White people are supposed to let their countries be taken over, and the culprits insult them so much as to expect them to like and celebrate it(and some self hating white people actually do).
Albinos are probably the closest. I’m closer to peach colored. Peach pride!

There is no such thing. Races don’t have a single culture.
There is no such thing. Africa is a continent of many cultures and more than one race.
Mexico is a nation with a culture and subcultures of that culture.

Have you asked Asians how they feel being identified as Asian and not as their individual ethnicity or nationality? The same with Africans.

That might be true, but that doesn’t stop every other race/culture from doing so. The hypocrisy is its only bad when white people try to do the same thing.
I would never do that, because a white man is not allowed to question any actions of other races. That would be racist.
I think it’s white people who are lumping other cultures into single groups.
You misunderstand. I didn’t say self identify but identified by others. Ask a Chinese person how he feels about being called Asian rather than Chinese.

Think harder. Its the African Americans that seem to blame all white people, and lump them together as being responsible for historical slavery, and continuing oppression, despite the fact that white people fought and voted in favour of their rights.
Have you taken a poll?
