No one said that they are not allowed to have their own culture. Read the post you are replying to again. It is implying that American are lacking in mourning traditions and that some should be adopted. Looking at what other cultures do is a start, but there's nothing to say that these new mourning traditions couldn't be entirely new, and specific to Americans.

No, people just constantly assert that other cultures are better and that Americans should adopt their values instead.

You're tilting at windmills here. The original post did not say this, yet this is what you are continuing to rant about.
