You are making a lot of confusion between different things. Culture, ethnicity and nationality are not the same thing.
For example, you can go live in a different country and you will not magically forget your customs, language, favorite food when you cross the border.
You can learn a second and third language and it will not affect your taste for architecture.
It's shocking that we still have to explain such basic things.
Next step: realize that any sharp distinction between culture, ethnicity and so on is based on a completely artificial "line in sand".
