"culture" is such a silly argument.

Urban-environments in the hyper-individualist age have no culture (no, drinking and watching "football" is not culture). Even Church-attendance is so low that these people you hate are buying up these abandoned buildings to create communities.

What you're complaining is that "they" have a culture, while you don't. I guess it's semi-understandable if it results in mob-violence and ganging-up, but I haven't seen this happen outside some Islamic-communities (even there, I think it's typ. only the S. Asian ones).

Saying that culture doesn’t exist is like a fish not realizing it’s swimming in water. Everywhere has culture, and it’s mostly below the surface://bccie.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cultural-iceberg.pdf.

I have a culture! I grew up in Virginia, but my parents are Bangladeshi, and this describes me quite accurately: https://commisceo-global.com/articles/cultural-differences-w....
