Hmm. I would think that white culture is a subset of American culture. American culture forms an integrated whole to some degree, but it is diverse in its subgroups and they don't always understand each other. For instance, white people tend to be less touchy-feely, more reserved, and less openly friendly with strangers than blacks and hispanics.
