I think the focus is narrower than that. "White culture" is assumed to be _USA_ WASP in many ways. Both of my father's parents were born and raised in Canada, and one of them was second-generation Irish refugee and the other was raised a Mennonite. White and Protestant, yes, but _not_ Anglo-Saxon and USA, and the differences affect a lot of attitudes.
