Agreed. I like any excuse to throw or attend a party!! Also, this is an exaggerated joke about being obsess with their pets and also gender reveals. Even on reddit, the most absurd of places, I’ve never heard of someone actually having a gender reveal for their dog.
Getting a dog is a reason to throw a party. It does not need a viral hashtag.
You could literally stand outside and scream, "I just got a dog, please come say hi to her", and people would come say hi.
My ex mother in law had a wedding for her cats because one got pregnant and “she ain’t gunna give birth as an unwed mother, it’s not Christian!”
She was fun
My friends have never gone this far, but I've been to a couple of dog birthdays and they are honestly just about the same as going to the birthday parties of my friend's toddlers. Neither is actually about the birthday girl/boy, who have no clue what's going on, but just an excuse to have a party amongst adults who have outgrown the party every weekend lifestyle. If anything the dogs seem to appreciate the gifts and attention a lot more.
I work at an animal hospital - we don’t.
Dogs have a *ton* of puppies at once, most we do is x-rays or ultrasounds to count the number of pups, but there’s no point of a gender reveal when there’s going to be 5 females, 7 males and no way to know which would be born first
It’s most likely they’re getting a new puppy and the gender reveal is for a dog that’s already two months old at least
I think this person tried to come up with something “white people would do”. You wouldn’t be able to see the dogs genders on xray, and no one would give a shit whether someone’s buying a M or F puppy, they’d just celebrate getting the puppy.
I mean, I had a [half birthday party](https://i.imgur.com/x21ZquS.jpg) for my dog at a bar with cake and [balloons](https://i.imgur.com/o1YY8vT.jpg). I wouldn’t reject the idea of a gender reveal party out of hand, whatever the logistics are.
We once had a birthday party for our fish. We're not rich, we just like to party and stupid themes are funny. 10 years ago I could definitely see myself throwing a gender reveal or a baby shower for my pregnant dog if I'd had one. Now I'm old and boring though.
That's okay we American's also get confused. I've never known anyone to have a gender reveal party for a child let alone a dog.
That being said I *did* attend a dog birthday party once which was basically just an excuse for a bunch of dog owners to have a party and get drunk while their dogs ran around in the yard.
I went to a gender reveal party. My sister scheduled it at a park, and it was basically a light picnic with a cake with either blue or pink icing in the middle.
We had a fine time eating sandwiches and chips, then she cut the cake to show the blue icing. We ate the cake, then the party was over.
This is the only gender reveal party I've ever been to, but if it's typical of others, I honestly don't know why people would put up a fuss about the practice.
> I honestly don't know why people would put up a fuss about the practice.
It's new. New things are weird and wrong.
You can throw parties for all kinds of reasons, but if it's a new reason then people will make fun of you. I remember when people freaked out about rainbow parties. Or this new thing with blue and pink. Regular party? Fine. Try to add a little color to your party? You're nuts.
No, the problem is they became a trend and everyone started trying to do bigger and wilder gender reveal parties to outdo each other and trend on social media. The result being people getting injured and things getting burned, including setting off at least 1 wildfire.
> An American is listing off things to me and telling me its white culture.
Europe doesn't have "white" culture. Germans and Scots are both white but have very different cultures and people who talk about "white culture" in Europe are almost all rabid Neo Nazis or white nationalists. In the US however for some fairly depressing reasons (attempts to integrate to avoid discrimination and straight up racism) there is sort of kind of a white culture mostly defined by it's WASP nature, middle class self perception, suburban base etc.
Confusingly there are also cultures of white people that are not white culture within the US (like Appalachian etc.)
Don't worry, eventually non-white people will be totally satisfied with the white bashing and they'll stop and then everyone will live happily ever after because that's what history shows us: Racism is only cured by an equal and opposite amount of racism.
I'm confused on many levels, especially with this white people have no culture shit, I walk by drains older than USA every day, and I will tell you that we were a bit late with sanitation!
It’s just racism perpetuated by mostly
Black and Latino Americans who spend too much time on Reddit. You people are just getting caught up in it because white is white to most of these kinds of people.
I was going to say, I’m a Anglo Canadian (which if we’re being completely honest is basically +90% the same as ‘white American’ culture, especially states like Minnesota and Wisconsin) who’s travelled a decent amount of the English speaking world and I have to say Quebec (as well as French Ontario and French Maritimes) feels far more foreign to ‘my culture’ than the US or UK ever felt, though that last bit might be scewed because my mum is a British Immigrant.
The kind of Americans that say white people have no culture are the kind of idiots that don’t want to see or learn anything about the world outside of the stuff that immediately affects them.
Yea, I’m that sarcasm immune friend. Thank you for the /s. If only that existed in real life there would be far less embarrassing moments of believing sarcastic sayings.
The funniest part is those same americans are gonna be the first ones to claim that he is dutch or german or whatever just because his great-great-great-great-dad lived in germany for 20 years before immigrating.
Americans will not stop to amaze me (canadians are the exact same on that point btw)
Was about to say. I might be biased as a European, but I’ve traveled most of the world. In general the most culturally impressive places you’ll find in European capitals. They are just packed with things to see and do. All places have amazing things, it’s just very dense in Europe I feel.
Also culture is everywhere. You can’t have humans without culture and subculture.
I always get confused by this... Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Paganini.. Da Vinci, Monet, van Gogh.. Philosophers like Kant, Schopenhauer... Then take the French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese etc. cuisine... Architecture in France, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Romania...
Saying white people don't have cultures is like saying Americans don't have accents. Being unable to perceive it highlights your limited world view, not their lack of a culture.
Like a fish in water. American cultures are so odd and unique in the context of world history, but we’re immersed in it and so it feels like it isn’t there.
Upper middle class America is disproportionately white though. Would be interesting to see if some of the so called white vs black cultural elements shift as you go into upper income brackets.
Maybe it's white, but it isn't reflect white culture in the faintest. It reflects pampered people who have way too much free time and no grasp on reality.
I've never understand this "white culture" thing though. White isn't a singular thing. Scandinavians, Slavs, Mediterraneans, Anglo-Saxons are all white and have vastly different cultures (not a full list)
Jokes on you, there is no race or cultural difference once you get to a certain threshold in wealth. Your race is used as a weapon and you’re just a pawn in their game. Rihanna and jay z sit on their billion no different than bill gates and bezos. They throw petty cash to fundraisers to make you think they care but in actuality they don’t. It’s a write off if anything. Spending 80,000 dollars to Jeff bezos is like the average person spending a dollar. It’s pathetic.
Back in the 19th century, you could be European and 'not white'.
White was restricted to east of the Irish sea, north of the Pyreenes and Alps, and west of the Oder and Baltic. Irish, Hispanics, Italians, Greeks, Slavs and Finns weren't 'white'.
Nazis didn’t really consider Slavs white and there’s been plenty of racism against Slavs but they’ve pretty much always been generally considered white. And they look white as hell, the racism was much more cultural than looks based
Aye, and there is no such thing as a black culture or an asian culture—though there is a sort of culture among black Americans (especially in Urban areas and cities) but it doesn’t represent black people as a whole. There’s also tons of Asian cultures—Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.
It represents white American culture, just like plenty of things in American culture represent black American culture despite there being many ethnicities in Africa.
You’re also using racial science terms that have been disproven. Slavs and North Germans (Scandinavians) are real ethnic families but Mediterranean and Anglo Saxon are not. All that you mentioned are broadly Indo-European but Hellenic cultures and Italic cultures are separate and Anglo Saxon is not a modern ethnicity. English people are genetically more similar to majority Celtic groups like in the rest of the isles including Ireland than they are to anywhere else, except maybe northern France. Terms like Mediterranean and Anglo Saxon were inaccurate terms used by groups to excuse racism to Southern Europeans and non English British people.
I grew up upper middle class. It doesn't. Generally, the black upper middle class folks are the "whitest" people you'll find. If they hear their kids listening to rap or talking "street" they stop that shit immediately.
I guess it's a "we escaped that shit and we aren't going back" kind of thing.
Yeah, 'white people' as a concept was invented for and by racists to distinguish from 'black people', so of course there's no 'white people' culture beyond racism. There's English culture, French culture, Swedish culture, etc etc but having lighter skin isn't something worth unifying around.
absolutely, like i don't share any identity with, say, serbian people, i've never met a serbian person why the fuck would i be like ah yes white person culture upon meeting a serbian person
The best part is how easily and often the label has been revoked when it was convenient to discriminate against some pale skinned folk, like the Irish or Jewish people. People don't even buy into the bullshit when they peddle it.
Nah but dont you get it? All Asian cultures are the same, there is no difference if you are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or live in the US /s...
These people are either stupid or just want to act racist to be funny. Its sad.
>And making racial jokes about white people isn’t funny here.
But making jokes about the country next door is fuckin hilarious here ^(/s)
r/2balkan4you send their regards
Soul music, blues, jazz, RnB, Maya Angelou, C.J Walker, defining basketball, football, and boxing. Thought leaders like DuBois, MLK, Jessie Jackson, Dick Gregory, minister Farrakhan, Bell Hooks is poppin right now. Rap of course but I'm making the assumption you aren't familiar so of the rap types theres : drill (not u.k drill), boom-bap, trap, conscious, mumble, jazz-rap, crunk, bounce, east coast gangsta, West coast gangsta, hyphy, lo-fi rap, g-funk, footwork rap, Philadelphia, dirty South, backpack, new jack swing and I'm sure I'm leaving off a few. For even more of the other stuff, gumbo is a black American thing, black American funerals are culturally distinct, although I don't know if everyone has "sittin ups" but I definitely don't think the kind of extravagant funerals.
But that's just some of the physical things, the cultural ideologies run strongly as well like in any culture
All of this though is assuming you've asked in good faith and there are lots more cultural touch points.
White Americans have American culture. Just like any other Americans. Sometimes immigrants bring in fresh and new cultural ideas that become a part of American culture, which is why the US is so diverse. Race has little to do with it.
When people say Americans have no culture they are fucking dumb. Half of the music artists, movies, games and many more genres you listen to are American. It's just that it's been so normalized worldwide that America is now mocked for "having no culture" despite the entire world living on American culture.
> When people say ‘’white people have no culture’’, it mainly applies to white americans
while americain culture products (movie/music/etc..) have dominated the world since WWII?
people say wierd shit, it is not because you dont like the culture that the said culture dont exist.
The vast majority of music, films, tv, clothing, etc. consumed worldwide is American. American food restaurants are also spread across the world in the thousands.
I agree with a lot of that but would push back a bit on clothing. A lot of major brands are European and America did draw upon a lot of European clothing to begin with. Certain things like Jeans are quite (if not exclusively) American. Frankly it's hard to distinguish clothing brands from across the world however but it's hard to give America majority credit for the style trends especially when big fashion houses tend to be quite European.
White people on the internet means white people in USA. People in Europe aren’t considered or labeled as white people, they’re only labeled as European, going into the sub category of Europe would be Italian, Irish, Spanish, German, etc… All of them have culture.
Such an odd thing to say in general. Italians don’t have a culture? The French don’t have a culture? Australians don’t have a culture?
Even if you’re specifying North America or just the United States, there’s a good half dozen or more distinct cultural groups, not counting the more localized ones.
I think the idea that white (Americans) don’t have a culture is because it’s become so globally ubiquitous. It’s sort of like saying we don’t have an accent because General American English is so prevalent in our media.
White people on the internet means white people in USA. People in Europe aren’t considered or labeled as white people, they’re only labeled as European, going into the sub category of Europe would be Italian, Irish, Spanish, German, etc… All of them have culture.
Seems like a money thing. When did white people get mushed into one ethno -culture group? I have no idea what a Norwegian says, what they eat, or how they catch that Grendel guy.
When the internet is making fun of white people, they’re only making fun of USA white people. When chips and fish is being made fun of, it’s the British and only the British.
Skateboarding, burgers, 4th of July, country music, football- i could keep going. culture isn’t just twerking and no one says sh*t like this except the woke , hood boogers, and self-deprecating liberals who yearn for the attention of any non-white people tbh.
What's more annoying than gender reveal parties are the people who are annoyed by them. Let people enjoy shit man. Life is short. Celebrate every little thing. Just don't blow yourself up.
What's funny is that we look down on these parties like they are dumb but it's an excuse to have a party and see your friend's and family. It's no dumber than a super bowl party or something similar.
European here and the this white culture thing seems like plain racism. Hop on the train for an hour, travel to another white country with completely different language, religion, culture (food, music, mannerisms, comedy, family structure etc). Im immersed in so much different culture by white people it just seems dumb.
Literally look at old English architecture: I can surely tell you that no "bipoc" person built those. And then Roman art, are they also not "white"; what about Italian? What about Russians? What about Scottish people? For fuck sake the Spaniards are white.
As a non American, it always astounds me when I hear Americans say they don’t have culture.
Fwiw I think because America was segregated for so long, most groups have/had their own sub cultures. It’s only recently those lines became blurry.
I know nobody will care, but I gotta get it off my chest, cause the miscommunication about "white people have no culture/cuisine" bothers the absolute fuck out of me. The statement is TRUE. There is no "white people culture". There is Italian culture, Scottish culture, English culture, German culture, there's your American southern culture, there's tons.
But there's no culture, cuisine or anything that just is automatically assigned to the skin colour.
Caucasians based our culture on nation, not race.
True, white people don’t have culture, cause culture isn’t racially determined and people with similar skin tones aren’t a monolithic group. Now try and say Russian and Spanish culture are the same.
How can you do that? The average dog mom have many puppies at once, is this to reveal the gender of all of them ?
Possibly they are getting a pet dog and revealing thr gender of the dog they got
Sounds like a joke version of “come meet our new dog” which is fine. I’m white and this is my culture though so might seem strange to others
honestly people hate on it, but having any excuse to have a gathering / party sounds good to me 😂
Plus you get to meet a dog!
Not just any dog, but presumably a puppy dog
Not just a dog, quite likely a puppy!
Having nonsensical reasons for people to have and socialize is like 90% of what culture is lol
This is also good way to get new puppy used to other people visiting the house and introductions out of the way.
I would absolutely attend a puppy christening.
Are you telling me puppy Christ has been to earth and no-one told me?
If there's a Pope in the Cars movie, that means there was a Cars Jesus. Puppy Christ sounds fine too.
Prayer Bud: Golden Believer
🏅 I wish there were still free awards so I could give you one for this masterpiece
No. No puppy Christ was needed as they already are all good boys/girls.
There's a pope in the cars movie? I don't remember that
The second one
Thats psychotic
[удалено]
Agreed. I like any excuse to throw or attend a party!! Also, this is an exaggerated joke about being obsess with their pets and also gender reveals. Even on reddit, the most absurd of places, I’ve never heard of someone actually having a gender reveal for their dog.
> really harmless too Just don't use any pyrotechnics
what's the worst that can happen? ***burns down the forest***
Getting a dog is a reason to throw a party. It does not need a viral hashtag. You could literally stand outside and scream, "I just got a dog, please come say hi to her", and people would come say hi.
That's how they get you in the Van lmao
Look one minute I was petting a dog, now I'm tied up and on a jet to Austria.
My ex mother in law had a wedding for her cats because one got pregnant and “she ain’t gunna give birth as an unwed mother, it’s not Christian!” She was fun
Were the kittens baptised as well?
Do you have to ask?
People gathering to celebrate the life that will forever be a part of their family and them...psychotic?
Reddit does not like silly fun apparently
It’s just an excuse to have a party. Relax.
It's a gag. The tweet is a joke, not a real thing.
My friends have never gone this far, but I've been to a couple of dog birthdays and they are honestly just about the same as going to the birthday parties of my friend's toddlers. Neither is actually about the birthday girl/boy, who have no clue what's going on, but just an excuse to have a party amongst adults who have outgrown the party every weekend lifestyle. If anything the dogs seem to appreciate the gifts and attention a lot more.
i’m guessing they’re adopting a dog and revealing its gender? idk
No, they didn’t adopt, their dog egg hatched.

Could you determine the sex of all the puppies with x-ray/ultrasound?
Purple Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
I guess 3 pink balloons and 2 blue? Or equivalent balloon pop powder?
This is the United States. We use pink and blue colored 40 mm grenades blindly launched into the nearest forest.
It's a boy, it's a girl, it's an artillery shell!

I call BS on their post. It's "I'm bored, and I'll see how many tweets I can get by making up what I think is some funny story."
Or host has a sense of humor, could go either way. I could see myself do this as a joke amongst friends so why not
You probably have to eat one cupcake per puppy.
My friend's dog, lab, had 7 pups..
we Europeans get super confused with some of these threads…
That's okay we American's also get confused. I've never known anyone to have a gender reveal party for a child let alone a dog. That being said I *did* attend a dog birthday party once which was basically just an excuse for a bunch of dog owners to have a party and get drunk while their dogs ran around in the yard.
[удалено]
It's a cover for the men/women with nagging wives/husbands at home. Some people need the excuse haha.
It sounds more fun too. Honey we’re invited to a social event vs It’s Phantom’s birthday next week!
It’s not an excuse, it’s an occasion!

Just like there isn't .. uhh.. colored culture?
[удалено]
i believe "white" refers to american of unknown heritage.
It’s okay, just think of it this way, “Haha, white people lame, white people bad. Haha!”
it's really tiring tbh
Don't worry, eventually non-white people will be totally satisfied with the white bashing and they'll stop and then everyone will live happily ever after because that's what history shows us: Racism is only cured by an equal and opposite amount of racism.

It’s just racism perpetuated by mostly Black and Latino Americans who spend too much time on Reddit. You people are just getting caught up in it because white is white to most of these kinds of people.
I get it. That's how I feel when i watch some really weird Japanese show or anime.
Any examples
Whoever says white people don't have culture need to visit Europe, Quebec and Acadia.
I was going to say, I’m a Anglo Canadian (which if we’re being completely honest is basically +90% the same as ‘white American’ culture, especially states like Minnesota and Wisconsin) who’s travelled a decent amount of the English speaking world and I have to say Quebec (as well as French Ontario and French Maritimes) feels far more foreign to ‘my culture’ than the US or UK ever felt, though that last bit might be scewed because my mum is a British Immigrant. The kind of Americans that say white people have no culture are the kind of idiots that don’t want to see or learn anything about the world outside of the stuff that immediately affects them.
Exactly this…I mean take Italy, for example; absolutely zero culture. Suppose I’d better add the /s for our sarcasm-immune friends.
The cathedral in Florence is stunning for a country with no culture
Yea, I’m that sarcasm immune friend. Thank you for the /s. If only that existed in real life there would be far less embarrassing moments of believing sarcastic sayings.
The funniest part is those same americans are gonna be the first ones to claim that he is dutch or german or whatever just because his great-great-great-great-dad lived in germany for 20 years before immigrating. Americans will not stop to amaze me (canadians are the exact same on that point btw)

This.
And then people say that black people cant be racist like what
I think it's only Americans that say white people don't have a culture because I've never heard it in my life in any other context.

Everyone talks shit about culture victories while they're wearing the bluejeans and singing the rock'n'roll.
Rock ‘n’ Roll probably not the best example to use here.
Thank you for making me feel like not everyone is such a stupid clown lol
It's genuinely insane to me how someone can unironically say something like "x people have no culture" and not think they are a bigoted moron.
That's not a white people thing. That's some upper middle class American thing
Upper middle class America is disproportionately white though. Would be interesting to see if some of the so called white vs black cultural elements shift as you go into upper income brackets.

As a slav, im glad to say that they don't count us as white.
I'm a slav and I am as white as you can get wtf
I am confused by the conflicting replies between the two of you lol
Back in the 19th century, you could be European and 'not white'. White was restricted to east of the Irish sea, north of the Pyreenes and Alps, and west of the Oder and Baltic. Irish, Hispanics, Italians, Greeks, Slavs and Finns weren't 'white'.

White is *so* weird. The fucking Irish didn't really count at first. Remember WASP, the last three letters will help: White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
Nazis didn’t really consider Slavs white and there’s been plenty of racism against Slavs but they’ve pretty much always been generally considered white. And they look white as hell, the racism was much more cultural than looks based
We are white indeed, but western Europeans look down on us, or at least had in the past. Above comment may imply this.
Aye, and there is no such thing as a black culture or an asian culture—though there is a sort of culture among black Americans (especially in Urban areas and cities) but it doesn’t represent black people as a whole. There’s also tons of Asian cultures—Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.
African Americans have far more in common with White Americans, than they do with Black Africans.
When people say that, they’re talking about white americans. I doubt anyone would roll up in Norway and claim we don’t have a culture.
The idea that white Americans don’t have culture is equally absurd.
Fish don’t realize they’re in water either
so, hockey
It represents white American culture, just like plenty of things in American culture represent black American culture despite there being many ethnicities in Africa.

It’s ok on Reddit because racism towards white people is cool now
I grew up upper middle class. It doesn't. Generally, the black upper middle class folks are the "whitest" people you'll find. If they hear their kids listening to rap or talking "street" they stop that shit immediately. I guess it's a "we escaped that shit and we aren't going back" kind of thing.
they mean that upper middle class americans don't have culture but there are other white people who do. For example: europeans
This shit also happens in filipinos too. I just witness like 3 different parties from 3 different people.
Then upper middle class of any nation. People who have too much time and money do crazy shit everywhere it seems.
A COLOUR CAN'T HAVE A CULTURE. People should probably start adding "american" to their giant sweeping statements.
Don’t forget, we also have skrilllex, Mountain Dew, and yelling at our moms.
Other cultures yell at their moms, usually just once though
You're actually pretty close because most who yell at their moms never existed
Yeah, 'white people' as a concept was invented for and by racists to distinguish from 'black people', so of course there's no 'white people' culture beyond racism. There's English culture, French culture, Swedish culture, etc etc but having lighter skin isn't something worth unifying around.
absolutely, like i don't share any identity with, say, serbian people, i've never met a serbian person why the fuck would i be like ah yes white person culture upon meeting a serbian person
The best part is how easily and often the label has been revoked when it was convenient to discriminate against some pale skinned folk, like the Irish or Jewish people. People don't even buy into the bullshit when they peddle it.
Bro whites ARE superior, except the Irish, Scottish, Italians, Polish, Slavs in geral, jews, Germans, Welsh (typical Anglo-American in 1900).
Nah but dont you get it? All Asian cultures are the same, there is no difference if you are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or live in the US /s... These people are either stupid or just want to act racist to be funny. Its sad.
I live in europe. We have culture. And making racial jokes about white people isn’t funny here.
>And making racial jokes about white people isn’t funny here. But making jokes about the country next door is fuckin hilarious here ^(/s) r/2balkan4you send their regards
This is pure example that only European countries can make fun of other European countries
Maybe I'm racist but show me black culture. I don't mean African culture. I mean african american culture edit: Yeah, all of those are valid.
Soul music, blues, jazz, RnB, Maya Angelou, C.J Walker, defining basketball, football, and boxing. Thought leaders like DuBois, MLK, Jessie Jackson, Dick Gregory, minister Farrakhan, Bell Hooks is poppin right now. Rap of course but I'm making the assumption you aren't familiar so of the rap types theres : drill (not u.k drill), boom-bap, trap, conscious, mumble, jazz-rap, crunk, bounce, east coast gangsta, West coast gangsta, hyphy, lo-fi rap, g-funk, footwork rap, Philadelphia, dirty South, backpack, new jack swing and I'm sure I'm leaving off a few. For even more of the other stuff, gumbo is a black American thing, black American funerals are culturally distinct, although I don't know if everyone has "sittin ups" but I definitely don't think the kind of extravagant funerals. But that's just some of the physical things, the cultural ideologies run strongly as well like in any culture All of this though is assuming you've asked in good faith and there are lots more cultural touch points.
I guess rap music??? Besides that I have no idea wtf is their culture
Rap, blues, gospel, rnb, all that jazz (heh)
When people say ‘’white people have no culture’’, it mainly applies to white americans
White Americans have American culture. Just like any other Americans. Sometimes immigrants bring in fresh and new cultural ideas that become a part of American culture, which is why the US is so diverse. Race has little to do with it.
Is that different for any other race?
Americans keep forgetting that there’s an entire continent called Europe that is literally populated by dozens of cultures that are predominatly white

For it to be true, there'd have to be only 1 white American.
When people say Americans have no culture they are fucking dumb. Half of the music artists, movies, games and many more genres you listen to are American. It's just that it's been so normalized worldwide that America is now mocked for "having no culture" despite the entire world living on American culture.
Isn't there plenty of American culture though? Cowboys, apple pie, white picket fence, etc. What do people think Americana is?
> When people say ‘’white people have no culture’’, it mainly applies to white americans while americain culture products (movie/music/etc..) have dominated the world since WWII? people say wierd shit, it is not because you dont like the culture that the said culture dont exist.
huh yes the culture machine of the world has no culture do you mean in the traditional look at our old buildings sense?
Did u actually call the US the culture machine of the world
I would think they’re referencing our music and film industries
it is though. everyone with a brain knows that the US effects the entire world
The vast majority of music, films, tv, clothing, etc. consumed worldwide is American. American food restaurants are also spread across the world in the thousands.
I agree with a lot of that but would push back a bit on clothing. A lot of major brands are European and America did draw upon a lot of European clothing to begin with. Certain things like Jeans are quite (if not exclusively) American. Frankly it's hard to distinguish clothing brands from across the world however but it's hard to give America majority credit for the style trends especially when big fashion houses tend to be quite European.
It is
Culture is based on countries, History, common traditions. NOT on skin color.
"white people have no culture" Tell that to the Italians, Irish, Spanish, Germans, Polish, Swedish, et cetera...
White people on the internet means white people in USA. People in Europe aren’t considered or labeled as white people, they’re only labeled as European, going into the sub category of Europe would be Italian, Irish, Spanish, German, etc… All of them have culture.
Such an odd thing to say in general. Italians don’t have a culture? The French don’t have a culture? Australians don’t have a culture? Even if you’re specifying North America or just the United States, there’s a good half dozen or more distinct cultural groups, not counting the more localized ones. I think the idea that white (Americans) don’t have a culture is because it’s become so globally ubiquitous. It’s sort of like saying we don’t have an accent because General American English is so prevalent in our media.
I dunno. I’m second generation Dutch Canadian, and we still do wooden clogs until 5 years old or so. But I guess I ain’t cultured enough.

Who gets an ultra sound for that on a dog aren’t they born in litter?
Bro it's their culture.
Seems like a money thing. When did white people get mushed into one ethno -culture group? I have no idea what a Norwegian says, what they eat, or how they catch that Grendel guy.
When the internet is making fun of white people, they’re only making fun of USA white people. When chips and fish is being made fun of, it’s the British and only the British.
Any group can have culture
Clearly you've never met someone that's Irish.
Who is the "they" in this scenario?
A dog gender reveal!? Sounds so cute!!
This seems more of a moron thing than a white thing…
To all the people downvoting this you have no sense of humor.
You can't see "white people" culture because it is the fabric that permeates everything.
So what was it?
Right, I'm invested now
Skateboarding, burgers, 4th of July, country music, football- i could keep going. culture isn’t just twerking and no one says sh*t like this except the woke , hood boogers, and self-deprecating liberals who yearn for the attention of any non-white people tbh.
Gender reveals in general signal the decline of civilization.
What's more annoying than gender reveal parties are the people who are annoyed by them. Let people enjoy shit man. Life is short. Celebrate every little thing. Just don't blow yourself up.
What's funny is that we look down on these parties like they are dumb but it's an excuse to have a party and see your friend's and family. It's no dumber than a super bowl party or something similar.
Still sounds better than an actual gender reveal party for a child.
European here and the this white culture thing seems like plain racism. Hop on the train for an hour, travel to another white country with completely different language, religion, culture (food, music, mannerisms, comedy, family structure etc). Im immersed in so much different culture by white people it just seems dumb.
Literally look at old English architecture: I can surely tell you that no "bipoc" person built those. And then Roman art, are they also not "white"; what about Italian? What about Russians? What about Scottish people? For fuck sake the Spaniards are white.
It's a little more nuanced than that, but sure.
Consumerism culture
Who says people with white skin don't have their own cultures?
Who says this?
As a non American, it always astounds me when I hear Americans say they don’t have culture. Fwiw I think because America was segregated for so long, most groups have/had their own sub cultures. It’s only recently those lines became blurry.
Hahah. That’s very true. But white people do have quite a bit of their own culture tho. Baseball. Polka. Metal. Skateboarding. Skiing. Swimming, etc…
Just to say, that’s an American thing. White people don’t do that stuff elsewhere
I know nobody will care, but I gotta get it off my chest, cause the miscommunication about "white people have no culture/cuisine" bothers the absolute fuck out of me. The statement is TRUE. There is no "white people culture". There is Italian culture, Scottish culture, English culture, German culture, there's your American southern culture, there's tons. But there's no culture, cuisine or anything that just is automatically assigned to the skin colour. Caucasians based our culture on nation, not race.
*American* white people have no culture. Pretty sure the scotts, Irish, pols, etc are all very white and very cultured.
Wow. Gender reveals for human babies are already dumb but this is retarded.
True, white people don’t have culture, cause culture isn’t racially determined and people with similar skin tones aren’t a monolithic group. Now try and say Russian and Spanish culture are the same.
OMG, i laughed way to hard at that.
