I thought you didn't believe in white culture because everything in the US has been blended? Don't you mean 'American culture'?

There are subcultures… have you not heard that term?
Plus Native American has separated themselves with unique legal/governmental structures that do inhibit some cross-over.
NOT all cross over.
You really don’t seem to understand nuance in any sense.
Either that or you just like to be an Ass.

Clarification from jim: he does believe in the existence of black and white cultures after all.

Maybe if you would have an open mind, realize I’m writing a few sentences on a website and not a legal brief, and maybe open your mind to nuance…

Is that even an actual clan tartan, or just a tartan pattern?
Irish and Scottish have both traditionally worn Kilts.
My family hails from Ireland, but many (off the boat Irish included) have thought my surname was Scottish. So it’s highly probably that my forefathers came from Scotland or migrated back and forth between the two. There was much exchange between these two areas.
So claiming “Celtic” as my heritage is not unreasonable.
I assume it’s just a pattern, and the material is different.
Doesn’t mean it’s NOT appropriation… one could make a native American looking headdress from fake feathers and it would still be considered in appropriate.

looool kilts aren't a cultural thing, it's tartan (Scottish) that has cultural significance. I'm surprised you didn't know that, given your close ties to the culture (e.g. someone once told you that your name might originate from Scotland).
Next you'll be complaining about Indian people wearing blue jeans.
Jeans should only be worn by Americans, North and South Americans are both fine…. and maybe Australia/New Zealand.
Anyone else wearing them is absolutely cultural appropriation.
(but I of course subscribe to the “yeah but cultural appropriation means nothing really” idea…)

Can I wear Tartan if I am not Scottish?
For those with no Scottish blood or ancestry, there are many universal or generic tartans that can be worn. Some universal tartans commemorate a special event, charity or person, while others have been created to celebrate a district or geographic area. You can find our collection of generic tartans by visiting the 'generic' tab on our Clan Finder.
We also stock a number of Irish & Welsh tartans for those with connections connections to the Emerald Isle or of Welsh heritage.
Though there really are no definitive rules, and if you like a tartan you are free to wear it.

This became unbelievable within the first ten words.
That's seven words, numb nuts.Europeans also gave up their own gods to adopt one pushed on them by outsiders. I don't think there are many Europeans nowadays who still worship Odin or Zeus.
Christianity originated within the Roman Empire and was eventually adopted as Rome's official religion. So its spread within Europe was led by the Romans.
It's a fair point that nations like England only have the language, religion etc they do due to Roman colonisation and as such English people are actually enormous victims of colonialism.
Are English people even English? I just asked ChatGPT what percent of white residents of England are "predominantly" descended from pre-Roman Brythons and it told me between 5-25 percent.
I think the English were exterminated and replaced by Romans and Normans, just like Native Americans were exterminated in North America. The only difference is, in North America we play act and pretend Native Americans actually still exist since there's billions of dollars in casino money and federal grants that depend on the illusion. Take away the money and the entire Tribal system collapses tomorrow.
