I’m Korean and I’m proud of my heritage. Despite my trauma in Korea, I still love being Korean and I love the Korean culture.
So, what is your culture? Would you like to share?
Here’s a clip of a woman doing pansori.

I am an open minded Chinese who knows both the strength and flaws of Chinese culture. I treasure most of the traditional Chinese culture such as Taoism , Zen Buddhism, Beijing Opera, Chinese kongfu, and Chinese food, but I know clearly what’s wrong with Confucianism.

I’m American. My family has been in the US for generations, as early as the first pilgrims on one side. I think I like my cultures ideals, being welcoming to all and the emphasis on freedom of expression and being more than I like the state of the actual country right now. America has always been hypocritical…speaking of freedom and representation for all and only giving it to a select group of people…i also don’t like that part of American culture that is unthinkingly patriotic. I think it is ok to be critical of your country’s flaws but american culture is very much obsessed w america being the absolute best country and the hero of the world

I’m Scandinavian.
I was born in Denmark, but raised in Norway.
As a kid I was always very adamant I was Danish, not Norwegian, and I alwayd knew I’d move back to Denmark as soon as I was old enough.
However, culturally, I’m norwegian. The way I phrase things, my manners, my humour, all Norwegian.
I don’t really look Scandinavian, as I have dark hair and dark, almond shaped eyes.
I don’t know much abouy Danish culture, but the Norwegians are proud of their heritage and their traditions. Sometimes a little too proud, if you ask me.

I had my confirmation, which is an adulthood celebration like a bar mitzva, in the traditional Bunad.
They differ depending on what region you’re from.
Mine signifies I’m from an eastern coastal region.

I identify with a lot of cultures. I have a bit of a blending of cultures that have been major parts of my life that I love learning about cultures I can relate with mostly all of the world. I guess I’m a Product of an American melting pot. My parents are Jewish and catholic religions that was a big part of my upbringing.

Thanks for sharing. 
@Pikasaur I had a confirmation too and I had to wear a dress as well. It was amazing though.

I’m very much a Western Candadian. We prize self-sufficiency and personal responsibility. That being said, I was deeply exposed to indigenous culture by a Cree sponsor I had in AA. I enjoy learning about and participating in Indigenous culture whenever I have the opportunity, and I love listening to Elders when they share.

I’m from Southern Europe, so accordingly to a former head of the eurozone’s finance ministers, we spend to much money in “girls and alcohol” 
To me its money well spent! 
I’m an American from The Southeastern USA. I am also part Native, Lumbee tribe to be exact. Then there’s the Pennsylvania Dutch (german/Amish) part.
I grew up eating regional foods mixed with Pennsylvania Dutch foods my grandmother learned from her mother and so on.
It’s a strange mix because the region I grew up in has distinctive foods and culture. To mix it with a Northern influence is just a bit odd.
Also, the American South is known for it’s intolerance and racism. I grew up very racist and in proximity to a hate group. Part of my fanily was in the group and my ex joined as well. It’s funny because his grandchildren from hos oldest are mixed and now he hinself is married to a Puerto Rican lady. Glad he got out of that racist mess like I did

What was your journey to become accepting of other peoples @anon4362788? How did you come to realize racism is wrong?
I’m American. I’m very accepting of other peoples and cultures. In fact, I love learning about other cultures. I find it so interesting.

Education and exposure to different types of people. By education, I mean the kind that comes with the exposure and being open minded.
I was dropped in the middle of a very liberal and educated household after leaving my ex in 1999.

I’m so glad you had that experience and learned to accept others.
I’m American, but come from a recent Syrian immigrant family. I feel like my family kept only the mysoginistic parts of Syrian culture. And the food. But I hardly know anything about Syrian culture other than that I wasn’t allowed to cut my hair as a child and that my family was furious with me for refusing to marry a good Syrian boy. Oh, and I can also swear in Arabic.
