You're making the common mistake of thinking that "culture" reffers to some sort of exclusive club, as though you're either in one or another. Of course there is a European culture, as well as German, French, Britsh, and other national cultures, as well as local city, town, neighborhood, and even unique internal family cultures. It all overlaps for each of us in our own way. There is almost certainly a human culture as well, we just lack sufficient comparisons to define it properly at the moment.
