even if we did, you're not part of a culture genetically, you're part of it because you were raised in and participate in it.
If that culture is american hegemonic white supremacy and you reject it, there's not really a replacement unless you can physically leave and assimilate somewhere.
Except those people make you who you are. I don’t consider myself “German” or “Lebanese” but seeing my ancestors who were anti-monarchists, liberal intellectuals during the time of the French Revolution, and then came to the USA and supported abolitionist causes, maybe I’m not a huge black sheep in my family. I’m sure I have a bone to pick with them in a lot of ways, but I can also see a clear line from them to me
there's follow on effects from the people who raised the people who raised the people who raised you or whatever but it gets diluted pretty quickly and coca cola has more to do with our holidays than great grandma.
the only line for me is that they decided to be settlers and the united states still exist.
