[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone really said yoga is part of white culture? LOL 🤢 You can steal and water down everyone's culture as much as you want, but it will never be yours just because you participate. [/quote]

Please. Soccer wasn't created in Latin America but it's definitely part of Latino culture. Yoga as practiced in the United States is by and large not part of Indian culture, yes it's appropriated and it's very much a part of White woman culture. Especially the ones that have a lot of fake spirituality.

Culture is often appropriated and transformed. I'm not sure how that can possibly be controversial.[/quote]

white Americans have no culture. [/quote]

White people that came here from places a long time ago like Ireland, England, Germany, Italy and all the other countries that people came here for a better life didn’t hang on to old cultures.

My father’s ancestors came to America 175 years ago.   Back then people tended to marry from the old country, then from other countries in Europe. Soon Asians, South Americans, Africans and others emigrated to the US.  They were more likely to hold on to their languages and food, ceremonies, etc.    More recent in history Americans are marrying people who came here from different parts of the world.

There’s no such thing as white culture anywhere.    The sooner people who become Americans branch out and make friends with a variety of people the sooner we’ll stop hurling insults at each other.   We can dream anyway. [/quote]

The term culture refers to "the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group."

Do you think it's an insult to say there is Black culture or Latino culture or Asian culture? Should those cultures be erased? Should Latino people stop speaking Spanish and dancing to Latin music?

Do you think there aren't social institutions in the United States that are created by and mostly led by White people? Do you you think White people in the United States have developed no music, art or food?

Of course there is White American culture. It doesn't mean all White people are the same just as there is a lot of diversity among Black, Latino and Asian people.  [/quote]

I think there are white american regional cultures but not really a cohesive white culture writ large as much.  Of course, there are also black regional cultures, but additionally a larger black culture.  [/quote]

Come on, people listen to White country singers heavy metal music everywhere. People eat hot dogs everywhere. You are in denial.[/quote]

People eat watermelon everywhere too, but that doesn't make it some kind of "culture." [/quote]
