        People love to claim we have no culture then complain about our culture being too prevalent. The post in question is someone dipping an American interpretation of Japanese food (the Philadelphia sushi roll) into a sauce (ranch dressing) so ironically American it can be used in fiction as a shorthand for a person or place being heavily influenced by American culture

        I’m not American. Other than murdering children overseas and being fat, what culture does America have?

          Non exhaustive

          Culinary culture: ranch dressing, macaroni and cheese, cheeseburgers, chowders, various fusion and reinterpretation foods (such as tex mex, cali mex, and American Chinese food)

          Musical culture: jazz, rap, blues, rock and roll

          Clothing culture: blue jeans, t shirts as outerwear, western style clothing

          Traditional celebrations: a variety of sporting events, high school dance celebrations such as homecoming and prom, independence day celebrations (fireworks, cookouts, and outdoor activities are traditional)

          Game culture: baseball and gridiron football

          Is there an aspect of culture in specific you’d like to accuse us of not having?

            Literally none of those originate from the USA.

            Fuck me, Americans really think they invented everything. Just because you made them popular because you stole culture from another country doesn’t mean you invented it.

            various fusion and reinterpretation foods (such as tex mex, cali mex, and American Chinese food)

            This is an actual defence of “America has no culture” and an example is literally taking other cultures and fucking to up to make your own. Your culture is literally ripping off other cultures and claiming them yours.

            Perfect representation of “America has no culture” if I do say so myself.

            What culture do you have?

            Basketball, Hockey, Lacrosse, Curling in sport. Maple Syrup, Poutine, Donairs, with food. Multiculturalism is accepted in Canada instead of a melting pot in America. We accept other cultures here while you expect them to integrate into Americanism.

            I could go on. There’s a reason you responded with a “Well what about?” instead of actually defending Americal culture, which literally doesn’t exist.

            America is literally a global leech. Takes everything and contributes nothing.

            Canada? Ask every other International country. We can wear our flag on our body wherever we go. You wear anything American? You get spit on.

            The world fucking hates you. Maybe comments like this is why.

              Tell me something I don’t know lol. Anyways, I see I was completely right about you not being worth my time to write a thoughtful response to.

              Only an idiot would assume 300million people are all the same. I’m not an idiot so you don’t see me blaming a random native of Canada for running residential schools. That would be stupid, and exactly what you sound like.
