Those people are revolting, though depending on the country a lot of Americans do more of a "plastic paddy" type thing where they appropriate a culture that isn't theirs because they have the ancestry, but they do it in a nominally more positive way.
Though it's very very far down on the list from the #1 things like "being a settler" and "living in a country that does genocide and slavery all the time" this is one of the things I hate about being from
. My ancestors moved here to take part in the awesome capitalist dystopia and now I'm completely and permanently separated from the culture and history of the world. Plastic Paddies are annoying as fuck but I can't say I don't understand where that behaviour comes from.
I hate the culturelessness too, but I dislike plastic paddies because it's such a fake and racialized way to treat culture. If you want to have a culture, there are countless much more meaningful ways to adopt a culture (generally via integration), rather than taking your great great grandmother's culture as a costume without having any real connection to or understanding of that culture.
