Well, there are people with different roots from all over the world. The fewest of us are actually native american, so I think everyone has their culture and embraces that on his own wish. Then we all come together in the middle to create American culture.
I know it's not the way it works and this sounds like racism doesn't exist in the US or something which is of course utter bullshit. This is the way I think how it should be done and how I practice it myself. I actually know a bit of Spanish and dipped my toe already in Mexican culture, but I'm not going to study and embrace it because it's not my particular culture, just as I am not expecting an Hispanic person to study and embrace my culture. In the end I don't think about culture a lot. I like cool and interesring people, cool and interesting music and of course good food. In total I just want to have a good time and I am happy to encounter parts of anyone's culture in a natural way were I can explore things more like an adventure and less like a chore
