that doesnt disprove what im saying. america having no definable culture doesnt invalidate my suggestion that there are possible residual germanic personality/cultural traits in the broader american culture
it does because Germany has a culture and it shines through any lineage left in foreign soil. however, this does not last in America, so i will my point better, America is precisely anti-culture
america being anti-culture is also an opinion, one that I happen to agree with, but the fact that america is anti-culture doesnt mean that it completely wipes out the vestiges of various founder cultures that constitute what we consider as american culture
also I didnt explicitly state this earlier but I did very subtly suggest this; what about the genetic component of behavior? if we assume that racial behavioral differences exist then it makes sense that on this broader spectrum of race there must also exist ingrained ethnic behavioral differences. ergo, assuming that race/ethnicity is related to behavior on a genetic level then as long as germanic genes exist in the american genepool then there will be traces (to varying degrees) of genetic german behavior as well. accordingly this influence would be impervious to any kind of anti-culture
i do believe in mental phenotypes that are spread to races, but i don't see it drawing itself specific in cultures, unless its preserved throughout generations. i don't think you can find any similarity between African americans and Africans for example
