You struggle with a lot of ****, but that won't stop you from once again defending white supremacy. Which is what you're doing here, that's what Tom was talking about, do you people even vaguely follow the news?

lol

but since i got you on the line

dog

why do you hate american culture?

I've seen more than a fair share of hate for dumbs, poors, and people who don't talk like you want them to, which is basically old white peoples issue with blacks and immigrants.

I was only going for level 2 (white supremacy), but you handed me level 3

If its a self aware effort then kudos, mission accomplished. I would actually be impressed.

I'm pro American, but I try not to be too obnoxious about it when I'm around so many skeptics.

Anyhow, the point was,

all the good things in American culture are mashups of diverse cultural influences. Musicologically speaking, the American musics (jazz, rock&roll, r&b, etc) are mashups of American roots musics, which are mashups of the aforementioned diverse cultural influences. Even blues with its afrocentricity has Native American and European cultural influences. Likewise, African influence is present in everything, not just the well-known examples. That's why I said this:

If people say they want to preserve culture, but, the said preservation doesn't mean letting everybody come in and share their cool stuff, then I think we can figure out what's going down. It's not an impenetrable riddle.

"Where're you from, son? Antarctica? And you say you fronted a band with an all-penguin rhythm section? Well come on in, let's have a listen!"

Also, the Scottish invented fried chicken.

Indeed I do. it's tough when yo're trying to deal with real politics rather than just making stuff up to try to be mean on the internet.

I appreciate it's so much simpler for you but I will continue with the struggle.

Guys, I just got terrible news. We let 500 starving Hondurans into the country and as a result Katy Perry has cancelled her latest tour. We all knew the culture might have to suffer from this rampant immigration but no one could have foreseen this. Was it worth it?

What is a bad culture?

An example of American culture: basketball.

Yes, it was invented in Canada, but it has grown stylistically and become something uniquely American because of how Americans all over the country refined it.

One can both appreciate the vile way in which ethnocentric slugs appropriate “culture”, and critique the tawdry aspects of American culture, while recognizing that America has been a significant force in promoting positive culture as well.

And Shakespeare stole from everyone.

Wtf is your point?

This is an astute point.

The vast majority of the world is FAR more ethnocentric than America.

Is he 8 trying to make a kindergartener cry? "your mommy doesn't love you she told me so..."

Or is it more sinister, like the notion that we all have family that we care for, our common humanity, we love our family, we all get old and die, we all want to spend time with a 90 year old granny and she wants to see her granddaughter of whom she is proud...but these disgusting rats...they aren't like us, are they? Is he saying that? idk I think I will go with he is just an weird immature creep.

And the "grandmother" in quotes. So called "grandmother". wtf.

It is a good point and it's why would could use 30 million+ non-European immigrants spread around the more ethnocentric parts of the US immediately.

Are you a relativist, Wookie?
Also I'd nominate the one being discussed fwiw.

I mean, yeah, the struggle here was you trying to pretend Tom's mockery of white supremacist rhetoric meant that the WHITE SUPREMACISTS were the people defending the glorious fusion of Tex-Mex cuisine and Jazz and etc. etc. that forms modern American culture against Tom.

That is a legitimately difficult reach but you did it with ease and you're smug about how clever it was, you really showed those ****ing race traitor libs.

Maybe if Tom wasn’t so maladroit in making his “point” there wouldn’t have been such widespread mockery.

Patteeu is trolling there. He also values "assimalability," a word he made up as code, when choosing immigrants, so it's not like he actually wants to have a melting pot of diverse cultures, just the ones not too different from his own, aka, white ones.

I’m not exactly pining for cultural influence from Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan.

There are worse cultures.

Ill just leave this here.

Yeah, think of how much land will be viable once all the ice melts

How much does it piss you off? Safe to assume you wont vote for Trump next yesr because of it?

Is your life worse because someone else chooses to wear a hijab?

Depends on who is wearing it.
Actually my life was made worse once because my racist boss would try to get me to have my muslim employees not wear hijabs.
