I'm slowly drifting away from "white usamericans have no culture of their own" and towards "they do have a culture but through globalization, that culture is now seen as Default Human Behavior, and so it seems like they don't have a culture of their own."

#thoughts brought about by the miku of all cultures trend and comments I've read about it #like there are so many behaviors and ways of dressing and traditions that get mentioned as 'lol yk that thing everyone everywhere does'#and my reaction is 'no? your experiences are not universal?'#but the internet is such a usamerican-ized place that those posts get a 'Yeah the thing we all do!' echo that covers everything else #it's also a problem related to seeing culture ONLY as ancestral traditions of yore #and not as the thing that's happening and joining you to your community right now #yes your Buckees or whatever it's called shirt is culture and no it is not a universal experience #mogologue
