Culture..but what I don’t know.
I think this clip illustrates quite nicely how a question about “China” is answered in a way that slides into the American category of “Asian” before it awkwardly lands in the category of “culture.” It is interesting the way that in the absence of specific knowledge about “China” the man in the clip relies on culture as an explanation–and then honestly admits he doesn’t really know exactly why. “Culture” seems like a “place holder” for all of the content that is missing.
