       @georgia There's no one point at which a culture becomes itself. If you're looking at Anglos it's not even linear. We have a local identity loosely tied to a language family, then we're Roman, then we stop being Roman, but we're still vaguely part of Celtic spheres of influence, then Germans immigrate, then different Germans conquer, now we're half Celtic half German. We lean into the German half, but we're not all that like continental Germans after a while because the two ethno-cultures fuse. Are we English or British at that point? Well we won't really be united that way for a few hundred years, but maybe. Oh wait, the Reformation just happened and the king is saying he's sitting on the throne of Israel now. Are we jewish? Some of us moved to America and decided to re-emphasize the Greeco-Latin classics. We build a form of government based on insights from the Roman Republic, monarchy and empire both become cultural taboos. Are we Athenians now? pre-Caesar Romans? Or are we still Germans? Britons maybe? Or perhaps we're the true jews, we circumcize these days, after all.

       @georgia A root indegenous culture is a utopian fiction. They don't exist beyond aspirations that we try to recreate in some idealized form.

       @georgia (Could go deeper with the Anglo example just using my ancestry. Not uncommon for distinctive Welsh and Gaelic identity to come into the mix still within living memory.)

       @georgia You will get "Italian" and not a millimeter more.

       @georgia If you don't like it I will downgrade to Med.
