Avviso contenuto: my dithyramb about "white has no culture"

in reply to JordiGH

@JordiGH It pretty much happens to any dominant culture in a country though. "Foreigners and minorities have cultures, we normal people just do normal stuff, that's not a culture".

The US may be special because the dominant culture is a mix of a bunch of influences, but I don't think there's a moustache-twirling plan behind it, it's enough of an explanation that casual us-and-them tribalism/racism allowed some people to be assimilated, some not, and different people during different periods.

I don't know, Italy is pretty racist (or rather *-ist), but I feel that the dominant discriminatory narration is that we natives of (insert any part of Italy here) have a culture and a history, while people from other countries don't.

For added fun, this is applied to discriminated-against people who share the very same graeco-roman-mediterranean roots as Italy, as well as to richer-than-us people with a much more vibrant contemporary culture.

Just to add on clark's comment:
you're always a foreigner to someone else, so you always have what you call culture. American culture is to speak loudly and americans are very extroverted (in my opinion).
I think you meant to attack differenciation, or normalization or something like that. But it's not tied to being white, it's tied to being capitalistic: less risk means more money means all movies are the same.

@lefarfadet @JordiGH It has been said that you don't really discover what your culture is until you move abroad, and at least for Swedish people that's very much true. Maybe it's less universal than I imagined, or maybe Italians are one of the exceptions.

@Moon @Ekaitz Zárraga 👹 @JordiGH @Dmitry Borodaenko Right. It's pretty easy to simply look at the demographics.

I saw some article complain about, I don't know, maybe it was Biden's cabinet or something, because they only had like 3 out of 22 appointed members that were black and it was considered not representative.

Statistically it seemed pretty representative to me. I think some people believe that the US is 50% black people.

Some *parts* of he US were certainly built directly on the backs of black people.

I recognize of course that the dominant subculture doesn't need a supermajority at the table to have its voice heard and its interests taken into account, so there's an argument for a board or body *not* to be proportionally representative, but that's not how I saw it expressed in this case.
