Snippet from Culture Cancer:
I am quite happy that some of our roots in Europe, like those from the Ottoman empire, are long gone because I would not want to wear this fashionable-onion-hat.
And most likely very few in Europe would probably listen to the Ottoman music today, or understand their contemporary poetry and art. Not to mention their buildings and many traditions that are not at all compatible with today’s standards, morally and structurally.
But these are our “roots”, right? Or if we go back our roots in Europe were the Roman empire. Should we go way back? Why do we regard “our culture” as the “happenings” that have happened only for the past hundreds of years? Isn’t that an arbitrary line to draw and call it “our culture”? Especially since we know we cannot freeze that culture in time and hope to take it with us intact into the distant future.
Catalonia and the people speaking the catalan language reside mostly here:
And this is how they ended up here:
What was there before?
Some Muslims it seems with their own language and culture.
To quote Wikipedia: “From the 8th century onwards the Catalan counts extended their territory southwards and westwards at the expense of the Muslims, bringing their language with them.”
The classic way of grabbing land, kicking off the “native” people (who very likely did the same thing to others who where there before them), put fences and borders and called it their land with their own language. The story of every tribe. Spain, France, USA … Every single one.

The french fries probably originated from Spain some 400 years ago.
Fish and chips are a kind of food that was introduced in England by immigrants.
And the Spanish paella emerged from the Muslims who began rice cultivation in what is today called as “Spain”.
Look at the evolution of the popular Chicken Tikka Masala (Wikipedia):
Evolution of chicken tikka masala as a multicultural British dish.[41][4] Chicken tikka was created in Mughal India using Persian marinading of meat in yoghurt and Central Asian tandoor roasting with Indian spices.[42] In 20th century Britain, a sauce was added to meet the British liking for gravy with meat.[12] The dish has evolved further to a taco filling in the US,[36] and to a pizza topping in India.[39] Tacos originated from Mexico.[43] Pizzas originated from Italy.[44]

CULTURE CANCER
This is an in-depth article about why groups of people hate other groups of people, and why culture can become cancerous. From Israel and Gaza, to Nazis and racism, we dissect this complex topic in a very simple to understand way.TROM
First of all what is “culture”?
We humans have borders that divide us into tribes. The rules of the division are not always clear. Language? But USA and Australia speak the same language…
Same is the case for South Africa, England, Sudan, Botswana, Nigeria, Singapore, Namibia or Ghana. And some 100 more tribes:
French? Some 50 tribes speak French!
The fact is that there are many tribes that speak the same language yet their cultures can be totally different.
So what makes a “culture” is a soup of traditions, beliefs, religion, food, knowledge, art, clothing style, humor, sport, and so on.
A cluster of values that makes a group of people a bit different from another.
In that sense cultures are not only limited by borders and tribes, but they can form around a topic of interest such as gaming, movies, even celebrities.
