Also, he's been accused of things many many many many times before, and nothing has come from it. Why do you wait for 1 bad thing to supposedly happen and immediately you pounce on the Jews? What did the Jews do to you?
America has culture, it's just so widespread you don't realize it. Most Europeans wear clothes from American designers (Nike, Adidas, etc) Watch American movies (many actually learn English in the first place to understand our songs and movies) Listen to our music Drink our drinks (Pepsi, Coca Cola) And still hundreds immigrate to the US from Europe every year
It's a meme. I even have a Jew in my class who seems fine, (and this is rather rare in Holland). He however is Jewish by race and not religion. So far from the Jews I have met, and their actions do not please me. It seems like a rather backstabbing and greedy race, whom think they are the best. But as we all know, I am the best.

Sure. Pretty racist of you, however, to consider an entire race to be backstabbing and greedy

In fact, the majority of memes are perfect examples of American culture, as well as many classic and modern books. The American culture is so familiar to you, it seems to not exist
Herding mostly illiterate peasants into steerage and then working them to settle a land stolen violently from the Indians, and having them labour in factories and on farms for too little compensation, is hardly a recipe for importing true European "culture" as such; in fact, the rare family taught their native language to their children in America, let alone having any "literature" and "history" or "culture" to pass on since they could not play an instrument or even read. When World War TWO started, in 1941, the US military was doing emergency reading classes. 1941. To this day, only some Americans are cultured, those who visited Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. If one stays just in the U.S. for example, that person has no contact with the main cultures of the world, and is, by fact, uncultured.
So... America has no culture because 1. It is built on land stolen from natives 2. The people are almost all from different nations 3. Most came over as poor people 4. We don't have a culture like Europeans Your very argument falls apart because... 1. To say we have no culture because we don't have a European culture implies that we have a different type of culture. A different culture is still a culture 2. You failed to disprove that the majority of Europeans love American culture. You buy our clothes, our products, our soft drinks, watch our movies, our TV shows, and many learn English to better understand our music and movies. 3. You live in Nederlands? American restaurants are everywhere in Amsterdam. Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Subway, etc. Aside from this, you cannot say we have by ignoring our culture. You say we have no folk music because nobody could play instruments? I cannot speak for the rest of the US (because the different regions have different CULTURES) but the South has a very distinct culture. Most of it was destroyed in the Civil War, which is why you don't know much of it, but it still comes through. Many foods unique to the South, as well as distinct accents, phrases, and holidays. We also have tons of folk music, and entire genres of music which only exist here in America. At least that used to be true, but like every part of our culture, it has now spread to other counties. Canadians also make folk music based on American folk, and many Europeans (especially in Spain) love our folk music. To say we have no culture is a joke, blind stupidity, or ignorance
