The reason everyone thinks Americans have no culture is because their culture is prevalent everywhere. (lemmy.world)

Most cultures stand out but American culture doesn't because basically everywhere has some sorta American influence.

Only Americans think Americans have no culture. It's part of their culture.

What does that mean?

America as a whole, I mean, the whole continent, has a pretty small culture compared to other countries of the world, maybe with the exception of those countries in which native cultures survived 4 centuries of colonization.

Yes, we have "things representative of ourselves" but they have no meaning or deepness.
