Bollywood? That's like saying "rice" is the most popular food in the world, obviously the point here is internationally not for one particular group. Internationally the Hamburger is the most popular dish in the world, 

 

If you look at this list, 8 of the top 10 fast food chains are American. And we see them all over the world.

 

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

 

Most people watch Hollywood films, Indian films have a big audience, but not as internationally diverse as Hollywood.

German hamburgers and French Fries.

The only thing the Americans added was the stupid clown.

 

Biggest bands in the world Rolling Stones and AC/DC.

Adidas is German, top fashion company is French.

 

You guys did somehow make fat arses popular with your superstar Kim Kardashian and JLo. 
 

Generally speaking though America has trashed the white culture brand. Started a lot of unnecessary wars, you are not liked in many places. 
Trump is your poster child for big noting yourselves, not everyone shares your enthusiasm.

i would be ashamed if I was American.

White American culture is the greatest in the world.

We would expect nothing less than an assertion like that coming from you. White people are the best thing in the world, we are the top race, we are absolutely supreme(icist) right? 

 

I can see as usual you've put very little thought into this.

Well just to play devil's advocate you could certainly make a case that American technology and science is superb, and American inventors have brought an awful lot to the table in the last 100 years. I'm not saying that there aren't an incredible number of issues within the race, but it's not like we're Russia, it's not like we've brought absolutely nothing to the table recently.

American culture is indeed largely Western culture. However, American culture is the dominant Western culture. It is American music, dress and fast food that dominates the world, not any other. You can say Beatles this, Elton John that, but they sang with an American accent and pretended to be Americans.

 

   Go on then,  post a video of Elton John singing in an American accent ?

White supremacy in the context of Thailand is White men dominating the local brown women and having offspring that subsequently dominate the beauty/acting professions. Isn't basically every Miss Thailand these days some Thai/Western Euro hybrid?

Well I should say white judeo-christian Western culture is the best. I'll let the Brits and Canadians and euros get in there. That being said, please provide me with be comparables to beethoven, bach, brahms, Leonardo da vinci, michelangelo, Picasso, Einstein, Locke, and I guess I could go on and on but you get the picture well maybe you don't but others do.

 

Recognizing quality has nothing to do with hate or racism. All cultures are not equal, just like cars.  Some things are just better than others, that is common sense. A Mercedes is better than a yugo even though they both do the same thing. ANYONE can join white judeo-christian Western culture and be perfectly accepted if they just absorb and practice the culture.. you don't have to be white to do it, you just have to accept it.

As I said.  Foreigners tend to not experience how bad things can really get for an individual in Thailand.

I don't get your point on that. Are you saying bad things happened and I just didn't see them?

I'd prefer they had not brought the vile social media or the vile facethingy to the table. They play a large part in the descent of humanity into greed and barking cults eg man made climate change.

Should the globally dominant culture, who people from others cultures admire and wish to emulate, be considered a "strong" culture?  This seems like an odd question to ask.

and some of us despise the dominant global culture for many reasons. We certainly have no wish to emulate it.

Well, he has a point that certain cultures, say the US, have an appeal that leads to emulation, there's plenty of Thais copying American pop culture, Lisa of Blackpink and my local buddy playing in a Heavy Metal band.

 

My daughter is starting to talk Korean from all the K-dramas. Does that make Korea a superior strong culture?

 

It makes it an attractive culture for a certain demographic, just as the US is for wannabe UK gangbangers.

I think one of the problems you get when talking about "White/Western culture", is that it is so dominant that people don't even notice it.  It's basically just become "normal".  So people wear Western clothes, use Western inventions, speak Western words, eat Western food, live in Western houses, but they think this is just "normal".  Then say that there is no Western culture.

Perhaps they refer to the apparent loss of the better side of western culture to greed, military dominance, cultism, celebrity worship, lack of morality, and dog eat dog business practice.

Western culture used to include being polite and considerate of others. That's all gone in a tide of thuggery, intolerance, hatred and ignorance.

Not a fan of the Americas as I see it as a crappy copy cat version of Europe, but I can't deny how impressive the US was in the 20th century. Just by making this comment it is a product of mostly US innovation (but not entirely due to telecommunications and electric grid coming from Europe. 

 

What is White culture? I guess it's mostly a product of what the European migrants who built the US and set up the system took with them to the US. It's the other races in the US that must be more confused. Which is probably why non-White Americans and me never see eye to eye as I will never pander to the Liberalism ideology that the cope with. I am just honest. They are heavily deracinated and lost.

How little you know, Bagdad was the metropol of invention and science 1200 years ago, and Persia is the crypt of the first civilization 4000 years ago roughly 

 

So, 

 

I'm sure you was around at that time to.confirm all of that. Sadly at best history is laced with a lot of fabrications, and at worst mostly a work of fiction.

It's more American culture that has become dominant, American clothes, American inventions, American food, the rest of the West not so much.

 

And again, the reason that is the case is very much linked with military, political and economic reasons that led to this being the case, it was not the result of a "superior" culture forcing itself to the fore. Rather it was an accident of fate, the fantastic size of the USA, its resources, and immigration, then the events leading to WWII, these are the real reasons Western culture is so widespread.

 

Not a cultural superiority inherent in the culture itself.

 

You do understand the US is based off Western Europe and pretty much an extension/rip off? I know you guys over there, especially the Non-Whites are mostly hilariously lost, but nearly everything from your language, the way your cities were structured, the names of your damn cities, your fashion, most of the tech, the industrial revolution (which kicked off the US).. I could go on.. all came from Western Europe. It's all online though. I never hear an American say any this nonsense in the reality of daylight and fresh air. I do often detect an underlying seething disposition but oh well, that's too bad.

After social media came loose, I'm convinced most people are trash, and quite alot of them is white trash.

"...Social Media "came loose?"  WTF does that mean?    On your other assertion, I hear Bangkok's seeing an increase in 'trash" from Sub-Saharan Africa.   But probably just dark unfounded rumors.

 It's ok these non-White Westerners last about as long as Western women in SEA. When they get the sand out their vaginas about Mr WhiteMan, and finally come to the realization that the Thai locals will never pander to their nonsense as much as Whitey has been fooled into, and most of the existing Westerners are not the soylent slop/starbucks brigade then they usually move on. The ones who stay generally have good energy and don't have a chip in their shoulder.

In Haiti as in, inter-alia, Korea, China and Vietnam, cats and dogs are regularly eaten. I doubt the majority of Americans would go along with that.

It's quite possible.  Do you really think you would know what's it's like to be a disabled person or a victim of abuse in Thailand?  You think any sort of discrimination or abuse would be plainly evident for you personally to see, or do you think it would be kept out of view?

Well,  if you ask Thais they would say the same,  and Chinese, and Japanese, and Italians, and French, and blacks, and Muslims, and Jews.

 

Everyone else thinks their own way is supreme, but only whites get labelled as racist or something

We eat dogs up in Sakon Nakhon and Mukdahan. 
Black dogs are the most delicious.

I consider social media to be the most destructive force in contemporary culture today. Children are growing up now in a world where they expect immediate response, gratification and notification. Their brains no longer have time to evolve; they must adapt to change in an instant, and the results are distressing. The difficulties of growing up have never been so public. Social technology provides a platform where things can run wild. Imagine the stress of high school – the competition for popularity, the pressure to fit in, the judgmental nature of social activities – at an accelerated pace. We try to protect our children from wandering off into the darkness on their own, and it turns out they are doing exactly that – online. When they get older and “ready,” we send them off to college, where they face more pressures. But social media has an infamous dark side and the more people share, the more serious this side becomes. As it turns out, living your life online has serious consequences for your self-esteem, your relationships, and your career prospects. 

 

And it is a strong indication of just how bent, warped and misguided contemporary culture and society is, that someone can be considered an idol or celebrity just because they have alot of followers on Tik tok, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. 

 

Personally, I consider social media to be the most corrosive and degenerate force in culture today, and they can be downright dangerous, on multiple levels.
