I like how he can list all these neat little factoids about India but fail to even understand what the word Curry even means. This doesn't really even account for the Anglo interpretation of what this word has become or even the history of what even is a "curry." Just smooth brain shit all around, well done Gene 👍 https://twitter.com/AnandWrites/status/1429802465055096842

    I mean barbeque is pretty diverse but it's by no means a white food.

    Probably the most unique food type we have here but it came about from black slaves for the most part.

      Yeah, I disagree with the Mexcan comrade. America has unique, good tasting food. Cajun, Tex-Mex, Mid-Atlantic seafood, I can't think of anything else but I'm sure it exists.

        That's the thing though, Tex-Mex came from Mexicans and United Statesians mingling when the latter wasn't busy abusing/genociding the former, Cajun (IIRC) is the confluence of multiple cultures including that of African Americans

        It's not that we don't, but when I see rants like the one in the article I have to assume that a lot of these guys would have been perfectly fine with none of those groups existing or ever coming anywhere close to the country.

        I just rage because I see white dudes from the midwest talking about how much they love tacos while talking/implying about how Mexican Americans should GTFO and uninstall America

        you either want the benefits of being a melting pot or you don't, and if you don't enjoy your lack of 11 special herbs and spices

          Trust me, I understand you completely and the sentiment extends to libs who 'appreciate the food'. I went to eat at an Indian restaurant the other day, it was full to the brim with white people. Literally 3 tables away from me some patrons were throwing racial slurs about me (they though I was black). I was getting racially abused as an Indian, for being black, in an Indian restaurant. brainworms shit lmao If it were up to America, there'd be nothing but boiled potato and dry turkey being served for 3 meals a day.
