Topic: I seem obsessed with cultures that I do not belong to. >:-(

Catherine !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 10 years ago #49,330

I'm white, yet none of the white cultures interest me except for maybe English culture.

I seem obsessed with the following:

Mexican / Hispanic
Native American
Asian
Arabic
African
English

I seem to hate being white.

EDIT: How did I do at not asking questions?

I suppose it's possible since culture is actually a societal concept, but I presume you are also including ethnicity which would lead to a debate about transethnicity.
There just isn't enough research done to support such a concept.

Cathy
Photo is Johnny Otis - died a couple 3 years ago. He was born 100% Greek but decided to embrace the Black Culture - Music - Married a Black woman and lived his life as if he were 100% Black.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Otis

I had a few conversations over the years with him about the Why. Also had a friend who was white/jewish and embarrassed Japanese culture. Food music and lived as if he were Japanese. Married a couple 3 Japanese gals. He kinda looked a lot like Buddha without the slanted eyes.

So as long as you're going to Cos-Play a woman you may as well pick a culture you want to role play and go for it.

Catherine there are a series of documentaries that are free on YouTube called The Supersizers Eat _ or the Supersizers Do _ that deal with what food people ate during various eras, such as Victorian times or during the World Wars. You should check them out because they show things important to white culture.

I meant England because that seemed to be a culture I am interested in so it's an exception.
Of course, I think it's the only culture that corresponds to my actual ancestry.

I'm English, French, and Czech.

Also, holy shit, Kook; that is a lot of links to cite so I'll just say that all of these look interesting especially the food YT channel.

@641,872 (kook !!mCVqftDha)
Yeah, whenever I say I hate reading, I really should specify that I hate reading novels. I can still read wikis and other encyclopedias. Reading is one thing that really does make me question rather or not I am retarded as I am able to follow along if I have an audiobook or someone reading to me. Of course, I'd require the actual book to follow along as just listening to the audio doesn't do it for me either. I actually read the first three chapters of Alice in Wonderland thanks to an audiobook on YouTube. I also just remembered that a friend shared some Disc World audiobooks that I really should pick up. Just need to download the e-books now.

That'll be cool. Also, if you happen to come across an Origin of Species e-book where the chapters as well as the introduction in chapter one are separated, then I'll appreciate that too.

I must have read that introduction like three or four times because I lose sight of the time I left off at on the track.

Ripped off the web

Serbs croatians bosnians and the rest in the balkans area (with the exception of albanians who are likely native) are all the same slavic group with minor differences in language and religion serbs=orthodox, croats=catholic, bosnians=muslim, and historical differences in political affiliations.

some contend that they have persian influence due to many many similarities linguisticly to iranian and that at least a small group immigrated and blended with slavs as they entered the area in the 7th century or so.

but yes..caucasian..and yes, all that violence that wrecked the area were among the same people. self hate is a hell of a thing.
