In short, yes. We don't have a simply defined culture because ours is made up of so many different ones, but that in itself is our culture.

Imagine you took a bunch of parts from a GM, Toyota, Honda, Ford etc. and you made a car. Since it comes from so many brands you can't say that it is one type of car or the other, but nonetheless it is still a car. Re-reading this I'm making our country sound like a pieced together crapfest with this example but ahh well you get the point...

I don't know about you, but this sounds pretty pathetic to me

But on individual level, I don't share all the characteristics of other cultural groups like Indian or British or French.

Each people in a culture share a lot of things that makes them distinct from other cultures. That doesn't mean people are same like robots off an assembly line. But for example, if you see a French person, you know he's French because of certain distinct characteristics that sets him apart from other cultural groups.

Originally posted by GGM Sorry if you took that to offense but if you read it I wasn't referring to people such as yourself at all. Moreso the population back when the States was founded (scroll up and read about Louisiana and French assimilation for an example) and the current immigration procedure.

Gotcha I personally have spent a lot of time in both countries, and while we each have a shit-ton of issues to take care of, I consider ourselves fairly lucky in the grand scheme of things

If you want to use this as an example, there are many cars which use parts from other cars but the finished product is still the brand that is on the hood...

Bentley's have parts from VW but they are still a Bentley and still very British even though there are German parts inside...
