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

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

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

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>
