@William Russell I've done that when talking to my grandparents in English. Didn't even realize I was doing it until after I had done it.
yw!
@ThisIsChris That makes sense. My parents never really made food that matched up with our ethnic identity. It was kind of a special occasion thing. Usually we'd just eat pretty standard white people food that you'd find in any country, like rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes. Later on my dad started making a lot of Indian food.
I'm actually kind of trying to re-learn to make the food my ancestors made
@Bogl - CA I knew it had to be something
@Bogl - CA What language do your grandparents speak?
@Jacob i love my immediate culture, but it's really about tastebuds with me.
now french dessert reigns supreme imo
@ThisIsChris I thought code switching referred to mixing words from two languages, not the accent thing?
I enjoy Mexican food more than English or German food for sure.. no bully pls
jk lmao
pls no ban
On my break at work at had an idea
my point was that my parents *didn't* make food from our own culture
that was part of the point
more IE skyrim/fallout memes please
There is an abnormal amount of IE members fluent in Spanish
Isn't it kinda normal to speak Spanish now?
I guess that’s what happens when they are half the country
They don’t learn English so I suppose it’s “normal” to speak Spanish
@Hyphenstein no pictures of people being crucified
CRINGE
I am sure for many of us, exposure to diversity is what helped us gain these beliefs.
mfw my family had the french tongue beat out of them because of people like @The Eternal Anglo <:sad:366743316475281408>
@William Russell The most intolerant group wins
tfw your Swedish culture is kinda like Anglo LARPing
Unless we want Spanish to take over, we need to refuse to speak it to them
>tfw my family had to change their last name because of the eternal anglo
>tfw the midwest was under investigation because of WWI
Trashboat is a pretty weird last name to pick

I accidently slipped a Spanish word in while speaking Portuguese to my grandma and she laughed at me for probably 30 seconds straight. This is what happens when you work with Mexicans all day.
Boat is the last name
It's been anglicized from boot
ah makes sense
In my experience 2nd gen Latinos are offended by my Spanish
