I don't know if you realize this, but complaining that "compressing all the cultures constituting "white" into a single category" is a problem, and then talking about "white Americans" in the next sentence as if that is a single cultural label is a self-contradiction. The complaint two comments up about the "mild but persistent impression that white heritage isn't something to celebrate or positively self-identify with" is an even stronger one. EDIT: downvote all you want, it doesn't take away the contradiction of insisting on hanging on to an identity of "whiteness" while denying the history behind it.
