No. That’s obviously not all there is to culture.
But those are parts of culture, no? Or maybe better, examples of it.

I watched it without the sound first and her body language struck me as clumsily flirtatious. And possibly a little bit tipsy. Just enough to flirt clumsily with an unknown UPS worker.
I wonder if her unacknowledged attraction to him is what really made her feel threatened?

You’re veering badly off topic; the subject at hand is the bigoted woman who harassed a Black UPS driver.
Whether White folks have any ‘culture’ of their own (outside of exploiting and oppressing everyone else on the planet) would be an interesting conversation to have, but it isn’t relevant in this discussion.

Moreover, the semantic lawyering is almost always initiated by whataboutist projectionists.
The argument itself functions to derail discussion of the systemic racism you correctly pin as the more useful definition. Whether that’s a conscious intention or not is beside the point.

Time for a dance-off to break this stalemate…
This is where the party ends
I can’t stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend
It was the loveliest party that I’ve ever attended
If anything was broken I’m sure it could be mended
My head can’t tolerate this bobbing and pretending
Listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he’s saying
This is where the party ends
I’ll just sit here wondering how you
Can stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
You and your racist friend
This is where the party ends
I can’t stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend
Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
Your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
Can’t shake the devil’s hand and say you’re only kidding
This is where the party ends
I can’t stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend

There is a fine line between brave and foolhardy. We shall see where this goes and may God have mercy on your soul.
