[@hamburgerdan101]

Who on earth says that shit there is no place richer or diverse in culture

[@harveymilne1684]

John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt not all culture. Take folk music for example. Each country has its own distinct style of folk music. Neighbouring countries may have similar styles and instruments but one of them had to be the first to do it. It can’t have just materialised from thin air.

[@harveymilne1684]

Me the alt centrist I think London’s already won that award.

[@thatonehead]

Me the alt centrist diverse but not richer. A lot of white people don’t know what type of European they are, black people in america have a separate culture from their ancestors, only immigrants or 1-2nd gens keep their culture. America has a weak ass culture, but at the same time a strong culture for a country less than 250 years old.

[@MissSchnickfitzel]

@John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt european culture is american culture. Cowboy, western culture is american culture. I wouldn't say that is stolen, if they are white
