  One of the most pathetic things about Americans is them claiming to be a part of other cultures

  I remember when I was running a bar in Scotland, and a stupid Yank said “oh, I’m Scottish”

  I asked him a few questions, and it transpired that his great grandfather was Scottish

  Not him.

  This was the same for Yanks claiming to be French, Irish, and all sorts

  The closest any got was German.

  America had culture for thousands of years, then some white shit heads did their best to kill it, and they still know deep down that they are stupid barbarians, so they pretend

  It’s pathetic.

    You’re viewing US culture from another country, where you’re only getting the corporate monoculture that dominates our popular culture. But visit the more urban parts of any city in the US and you’ll be confronted with the reality of a more complex local culture

      I spend a lot of time in the US

      I’d rather not, but that’s just a part of my life at the moment

      It’s a truly warped place.
