Like, can you tell where someone's great great grandparents came from based on what Christmas food they eat? I would imagine most children grow up to copy their parents since they don't know any different.

This article here say's this
"We'd take this opportunity to remind folks that every day on this page, The Billings Gazette Editorial Board, the letter writers and guest columnists sign their names to their beliefs. It's time these anonymous thugs do the same."
But I can't seem to find an author to this article?

@Jacob I'd imagine that's largely true, even for just what regular meals parents make

@Jacob interesting thought.
i'm ~60% french, grew up with creole (not creole of color) quisine, yet i've always preferred german good

@Lawrence of Eurabia the comment section is open on that article, if you have a moment you should get in there and bring that up.

@Valaska I'm about to do just that

That's interesting. Some children of immigrants are very disinterested in their parents' culture and just want to be American. Do you think they still end up making food that matches their ethnic identity just out of habit? @ThisIsChris

@Goose I'm Slavic and I love Slavic food. It makes me wonder if there's a genetic component to food preferences.

They don't want just names to faces, they want us unemployed & targeted for physical assault... And it doesn't stop there

@Jacob I think so, because eating tends to be done in the home so it's more sheltered from outside cultural influences

@William Russell
>acting retarded to own conservatards and prove minorirites are just as smart

I'm going to get in there when I get home

Does the phenomenon where you’re talking to someone and adopt their accent have a name?

"Assimilation" @William Russell

I see whites talking blacker when talking to blacks

@William Russell "Code Switching"

Or with an odd made up Latino accent when speaking English to illegals it doesn’t seem intentional

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching

Well there you go thanks @ThisIsChris

@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

@Jacob Portuguese

@ThisIsChris I thought code switching referred to mixing words from two languages, not the accent thing?

@Jacob wait a tic, you're indian?

I enjoy Mexican food more than English or German food for sure.. no bully pls

@Goose ya dude I'm from Northern India we're white

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

I’m one of them. It’s a little bizarre
