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>

@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
