You can convert, if a guru will accept you. Even in India you will see many Western converts. With the idea of transmigration of the soul, it is a given that we are not this body. So... if you are born into an Indian body, American body, male body, female body... what does it matter - those are all temporary labels. If you choose Hinduism as your path, there is no reason for them not to accept you. Unless you find a close minded guru. In that case, find a better guru.
As for the 'Hindu is a culture'... well that is the same thing many Jews say about Judaism, but some sects of Judaism accept converts, some do not. There is the Hindu culture, and the Hindu religion. Same same.
