Correct. All non 'white' cultures were originalist in nature, and have never interacted with any other cultures. All cultural appropriation is a unique (white!) American evil, sort of like how this works;

the punchline is:

I started giving quizzes to my juniors and seniors. I gave them a ten-question American history test… just to see where they are. The vast majority of my students - I’m talking nine out of ten, in every single class, for seven consecutive years – they have no idea that slavery existed anywhere in the world before the United States. Moses, Pharaoh, they know none of it. They’re 100% convinced that slavery is a uniquely American invention… How do you give an adequate view of history and culture to kids when that’s what they think of their own country – that America invented slavery? That’s all they know.

tldr; evil didn't exist before white americans

Isn't Stefan Molyneux the guy who insists keeping in social contact with anyone who doesn't ascribe to the non-aggression principle is an aggression against him, personally, and also that modern physics is a government conspiracy to steal money from him

This raises an interesting question: is latin america part of the "white culture"? Being that it was colonized by white people and, to this day, in most places the government and institutions are mostly ruled by white people

the answer to this one tends to correlate almost perfectly with your answer to the question "was Pinochet just misunderstood"

Latin American cultures are very different from anything you could call white culture. If they were included the term would have no meaning.

as opposed to the definitely cohesive and meaningful term that encompasses South Africa, Spain, Germany, and Serbia.
