One of the things from the right that is odd for me to hear is "We must protect White Culture". It strikes me as odd because even as a white person I have no clue what they are talking about. I can tell that the phrase "White Culture" Is a racist dogwhistle, maybe even a regular whistle, but I keep wondering what they define white culture as. In America at least you can pick out aspects of our culture and see where it originated from but I get the feeling that "White" Might mean not everything that is part of American culture.

This confusion also comes from a personal belief of mine about how American's celebrate cultures that are normally considered white like Germans, Irish, Italians, French, Polish (City I work has this huge Polish Community Center) We get specific about what white cultures we celebrate. St. Patrick's Day, Oktober Fest, Columbus Day(? I heard in some places thats treated as an Italian holiday) But if you just say you celebrate white culture people think Confederate flags and white hoods.

Someone smarter than me as well probably can give a more full description of how "Culture" Is defined for clarity sake.

Here you go. Since white culture is considered the default, value-neutral culture in the United States, and non-whites are encouraged/coerced/forced to assimilate into it, Americans are trained not to notice that it exists, it's just assumed that's the way people live. But it's actually the way white Americans live.

An ugly tracksuit and a Burberry cap.

I thought you were from Chile? I thought you didn't have ethnic minority underclasses and used socialists and populists as the whipping boy for petty middle class bigots to scream about? Cause from what I'm getting out of your posts you're some kind of bizarre self-hating Nazi who is sad your home country is insufficiently white

Isn't Chile the whitest country in all the Americas, though?

I think the best way to define white culture would be contrast what values predominantly white countries have versus what values predominantly nonwhite countries have.

Hmmm, looks like white culture is democracy, civil/human rights, equality, law and order, prosperity, and not bombing your own people.

So I guess you approve of bombing someone else's people then?
