“Communists are evil! They took my servants from me!” :kiddo

Saw this on an episode of Padma Lakshmi's libbrained food show about immigrant cuisines in the US. There was a cursed episode on Cuba released not too long ago, and it's the most deranged thing I've seen. Just because of how utterly ignorant it pretends to be. At one point in the show she's talking to people in "the first wave of Cuban immigration" who tell sob stories about how tough it was to adapt to living in the US. She asks them how they learned to cook, and they said "we were forced to learn how to cook when we got to the US" and there is not a single eyebrow raised or follow up question as to how a bunch of adults would have to learn cooking basics as a result of fleeing Cuba. There's also some interviews of MAGAhead gusanos who came over in the Mariel boatlift and no real discussions of the implications there, except for one of them who said he came over during the boatlift because he was in jail for being gay.
