The culture of the United States is primarily of Western Origin. African American culture is primary of western origin due to the slave trade and cultural assimilation. Even Latin America is primary of western origin du to colonization from the Spanish and Portuguese. Only one culture in the United States is not primary of western origin and that is Native American culture. The primary groups in the USA are European Americans-white people, African Americans, Latin Americans and Native Americans.
Using the word white privilege also tells us that your not interested in NOPV- Neutral point of View. The term "White Privilege" is to much of a political non-neutral term.
I suggest not re-writing the definition of "American Culture" To help make the article Stay Neutral. - preceding unsigned comment added by ( user : Zyxrq) 8/23/2021 8:17PM

I believe the Statue of Liberty is a more appropriate image to use to represent American culture and its ideas, not an image of Breezewood. Dufhrug87rsg ( talk) 18:20, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Actualcpscm (
talk) 18:50, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Along with the original request, I would "Support" changing the lead image to the Statue of Liberty, which is a universal symbol of American culture. I would also be open to other ideas, but the current image is very piss poor to represent the overarching topic of "Culture of the United States". Dennis Brown - 2¢ 19:24, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
Breezewood has been labeled a "tourist trap" and choke point because traffic between I-70 and the Turnpike is routed along surface streets lined with gas stations, hotels, restaurants, and traffic lights, rather than directly via a freeway-to-freeway junctionKlayCax ( talk) 19:39, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Wouldn't your efforts be more fruitful if directed toward that?What do you mean? KlayCax ( talk) 22:01, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
What I'd like to see is a shot that is a visual representation of the article's opening: "American culture, encompasses various social behaviors, institutions, and norms in the United States, including forms of speech, literature, music, visual arts, performing arts, food, religion, law, technology as well as other customs, beliefs, and forms of knowledge. American culture has been shaped by the history of the United States, its geography, and various internal and external forces and migrations."
make a list of the traits that make up American culture and figure out a picture from there.
for having a positive connotation, as you see it, and similarly the Breezewood image wasn't added because of any
negative connotation. The Breezewood image is appropriate because A) Breezewood has been widely, popularly, recently, and democratically used to represent American culture, B) it encapsulates many dominant features of American culture, such as car culture, fast food, highways, chain stores, etc. C) it's not an image that comes from a nationalist vision of American culture. إيان ( talk) 19:42, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Support, I think we should change the main image to the statue of liberty or some other image. It's a universally recognized american symbol. I've seen some people call the image nationalistic, which is something I strongly disagree with.-- Zyxrq ( talk) 23:51, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
Support per Dennis Brown: It was gifted America by the French, thus it ain't American? It's nationalistic because it is quite literally to welcome immigrants? Bizarre. The current images are OK, but still not as widely-recognized as the statue. Then there's, uh...a WP:RECENT meme denigrating America (imagine if someone put on Culture of the United Kingdom a negative depiction of them, like Bloody Sunday) and not even fully representing American culture (well, one notes a negative depiction of a culture would always omit something).
