I agree with the general consensus, there is no "white" culture per se, uness you're talking about the bad craziness of nationalism.

What I think OP means is "plain vanilla American culture." And that's the thing. The US is so huge, so comparatively young as a nation, that it's hard to even have a culture.

Furthermore, anywhere you go in the states, you have pretty much the same TV, same radio from central locations, news anchors from the same school, holding the same rip 'n' read newscast. The corporate world has skin in this game. Keep us homogenized and you keep us focused on the consumer culture they want us to have.

That said, we Americans who don't identify with any ethnicity do have cultures, but it's based more in what we do. Bikers, goths, snowboarders, rail fans, Trekkies, and then some. Those are all cultures.

Then too, when we try to do culture, because of our media obsession, it often becomes a parody. Case in point, I once went to an Oktoberfest here in California. I saw people wearing stereotypical "German" costume, playing a Polish-American wedding game (Chicken Dance) and singing an Italian children's song (Rooki-Zooki). That's about as all-American as it gets.

And soon, not just immigrants. If your neighbor goes missing, be a human and look after their pets.

Gosh, where have we seen this before? I really kinda forgot.

Wasn't it some dude named, uh, Hillter? And Bimmler? Maybe Ron Bibbentop?

If you didn't vote, this is what you voted for.

Wake the fug up! Chug one last beer, turn off that damn "Very Special 'America's Got Talent'," and look around you. See that the United States of America that we knew, is gone. Dictatorship is the new reality.

Then figure out what the hell you do from here, because your life WILL change. Not this year and maybe not next year. But darkness is coming.

That was the plan. Turn the Brown Shirts loose on the population.

And now Pooters has the photographs, eh? Could be taken on holiday? Wink wink, say no more, nudge nudge?

It reeks of a false flag. Handy excuse for the Insurrection Act.

Technical, but no mention of the social, psychological, or emotional aspects of sexuality.

Female orgasm was literally never discussed or even spoken of. This was in the very conservative city of Anaheim, in very conservative Orange County, California.

Was the wine list mostly Trump wine?
