If you are white, do you feel offended when other races say that white people do not

have a culture.? I am just wondering. I have heard that a lot by other races. I think that everyone should take pride in being themselves. Black people take pride in themselves. Hispanics take pride in themselves. But when white people take pride in themselves, they are automatically racist...this bothers me. Just wondering if anyone else is bothered by this.

Maybe you have never dealt with this that much, but I am in an interracial relationship, and my man's family is amazed to find out that white people actually have culture.
I am not racitst at all. But I have noticed that many other races are racist, and they justify it by calling pride. I think that everyone should take pride in themselves, but I also think it is better to take pride in your actions, not a birth right. It is ignorant to claim to the past and then state that you want change. Be the change that you want! Everyone!
Rinka Thank you for your answer, but I am talking about white Americans. You said that it is because most of us cannot trace our ancestry's but as a melting pot, white American's still have many cultures.
Can every proud Black American tell their ancestry? There are black people all over the world.
Can every hispanic tell you where there ancestors were from. No. If there parents or even themselves were born somewhere they are that.
 
I've heard other nationals say that Americans have no culture - I've heard this from Africans and from Asians - esp those who've never been to the US.

Their argument is that there's nothing you can point to that ALL Americans believe or do or eat.

My response is that our variety and lack of homogeneity IS a major aspect of our culture.

I am very proud of my ancestry. You can see my home reflects my heritage.

I was taught that all colors of skin are beautiful.

If my genetic make up was checked I might have my origional roots in Africa. who knows
