That's a very American-centric viewpoint. The rest of the world also has a lot of different cultures of black people, and relative to the rest of the world the US 'white' culture is extremely distinctive, no matter that the members themselves quibble about having 1/16th Irish ancestry or whatever it is.

African descendants of slaves in America ("Blacks") are similarly distinct.

Both have undergone their own ethnogensis, which makes them distinct from their original continents (Europe, Africa).

Both are multi-racial ethnos as well (unlike many European and African countries).
