@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

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>
