the reason you, a white american, believe that white americans don't have culture is the same reason fish don't believe in water
yes i know you think it's an antiracist statement, that you're saying it's a bad thing white americans don't have culture. but what you're actually saying is that the way white americans live is simply the normal way to live and that "culture" refers only to deviations from that norm
there's real holidays and then there's, you know, cultural holidays. there's regular foods and there's ethnic foods
this is not (just) about "cultural christianity," an idea that gestures at a real thing but the way tumblr talks about it is mostly not useful, i'm talking about stuff much broader than that.
making yourself a ham sandwich with mayo on white bread is a cultural practice just as much as making jollof rice is a cultural practice.
if you feel some kind of yearning as a white american to connect with your Ancestral Culture you can get really into wearing lederhosen or playing bagpipes or whatever. but you could also just learn to understand the way you are living right now as a culture and not some kind of neutral default absence of culture
