Are Americans culturally or mentally European?

[PetiteParisienne]

From my experiences (I studied my first degree in California), I think it depends on how many generations an American's family has been in the US.

We're not Europeans, or at least we shouldn't be. But we have more in common with some Europeans than some of them have with each other.

I never got why people get so upity about the minorities. The mass Mexican migration is slowing down as all American mass migrations have in the past. They have populated for the most part two states heavily (that already had mexicans to begin with because they used to belong to the country. Mexicans were always in Texas & California, and a lot of the now population does not come from immigrants but from birth rates). Two of these states are also 2 of the 3 (the 3rd being New York) States that continues to get more & more immigrants from all corners of the world (including Europe) constantly. The demographic in these 3 states will ALWAYS be ever changing since they are the 3 states of buisness and will always have people coming and going. The muslims in Scandinavia is a much bigger threat to the already small population of scandinavians than mexicans are to Caucasian Americans.

America's size and its diversity also plays a huge role. The Africans Americans have populated parts of the North but for the most part since slavery the large bulk of them still remain in the South East. Mexicans will more than likely go the same route. They will for the most part stick within their "cultural sphere/region" which ever you wanna call it.

Racially most whites are descended from Northern European stock. Culturally America is the core of Western Civilization at the moment.

^^ Is this comedy hour?

America = the core of American Judeo-Groid-Mestizo culture. It's not a "civilisation", it's an abomination!

As for being "culturally or mentally European", it isn't. It's Murikan.

Also social class, at least in the South (as a Southron I can only speak from such a perspective).

Within Southern Anglo society Planters and their descendants had homes abroad, more oft than not in Britain and the Caribbean (the later inclusion could be linked to the idea of a proposed "Golden Circle"). With those sorts of movements some cultural exchanges were bound to happen.

As for the yeomanry, in Antebellum up to Reconstruction Southern society connections would have been more apparent given the recency of the arrival for some Southern settlers (some with grandparents or parents who were still in Britain). Once the 20th century came to be the descendants were so far removed from their immigrant or pioneer ancestors that they began to solidify their independent cultures which were ultimately birthed from their Old World roots but altered in no small measure by unique experiences.

With the tenant classes, they would have been less concerned with the activities which would have resulted in certain forms cultural preservation as their concerns would have been focused on simply surviving. As yeomen or others lost their affluence some aspects of those cultures trickled down with the new numbers to be added to the "underclass" but their versions of root cultures even further removed than the more affluent given the necessity of reprioritizing.

As a brit you can't really insult America.



Just saying

[Damião de Góis]

Yes, i was gonna say something like this.

I think America is largely a blend of different cultures today. It seems like a lot of different cultures are becoming more hybrid unfortunately. The traditional foundation of America is a sub-branch of European cultures, but there is still a big difference and gap between the two. The people came who came over from Europe had an intent for creating a new culture, and that is what you see in America.


There are some connections, but at the same time its hard to make a parallel between the two. Its like trying to compare German culture with Ukrainian culture. Both are European, but they have a lot of different unique modes of expressions, which differentiate themselves from each other.


In the proper sense America mirrors very little of the culture or mentality in Europe, but they do nonetheless contain their own unique European like culture, which derives largely from Northwestern Europe.

And what of British culture? What of Britain's role in the radicalization of liberalism?

I think you'll find that the US was still a socially conservative and morally upstanding nation for several years after the UK had already begun its descent into degeneracy.
