There's a joke in the race world that White Americans have no culture so they have to steal other people's culture.
This is relatively true and largely because the US has little history compared to other nations. That's part of why so many facets of American society and history are nonsense myths, such as the American West myth. So much of US culture and history is made up ego stuff.
- Gud 8mo agoIt’s not true at all? The “white Americans” is a group formed by multiple diverse groups. The history of “white america” didn’t start when they landed on the shores of America.
- queenkjuul 8mo agoThe history of white America starts when white Americans decided they were people and non-white people weren't and thus "their history" needed to be separated as "white history"

- reodicrapio 8mo agoSuch a naive take lol
- _DeadFred_ 8mo agoSounds like you are the one who has bought into myths created to fit a modern narrative. Isn't the UKs historical 'shared identity' way more of a myth than the American west? I mean my grandmother from the midwest still had stories that would have fit any western novel, and her parents spoke German and were the 'poor midwest farm settler' family straight out of the west. My other grandmother has kachina dolls in her living room that her family was gifted for helping out a local village. My town has opium dens dug out next to the railroad from during it's construction. I have visited a ton of ghost towns.
- panick21_ 8mo agoThe 'American West' isn't a myth, reality is just somewhat different then what actually happened. But the same can be said for any simplified history of any nations myths.
