I personally don’t have a culture and it hasn’t affected me negatively. As a white person, I am mostly Anglo Saxon with tiny bits of Scandinavian in me. I’m just white. I’ve never looked towards my past to root myself in because it simply doesn’t matter. I would understand this point of view for someone with a rich cultural background but many Americans aren’t quite in touch with their ancestral pasts.

yeah the american "melting pot" has moved people away from their previous heritage. places like new orleans start to pop up where people blend. past foods, values, practices and rituals should be held on to, in my opinion.
