    I don’t see the problem with that. The US is a rather young nationality/culture, and every culture borrows stuff. Also, what’s wrong with a very diverse and colorful identity?

      I would argue that’s what culture is. How locals take what exists and make it their own. Not sure what op is on about.

        I’d define a national culture as a deeply rooted, shared identity. To you, what is American culture? Just spit ball it, like one of them word bubbles.

      I refuse to get into that discussion, because when you start talking about the benefits of a strong cultural identity, people start accusing you of dangerous things. Like being a weeb.
