If the mexicans are gone, then who makes our delicious food?

The same also applies in austria/germany: if the muslims were gone, who'd make our kebab?

Clothes and Tobacco supposedly from Vietnam but tbh clothes probably still secretly from China.

They don’t know or choose to forget that Irish, Italian, Polish, etc. immigrants were considered “not white” and “not American” too.

A lot of them still don't seem to understand they're not in the in group.

Back in those days, people from the literal Caucasus weren't considered Caucasian.

If they understood anything about history they wouldn't be conservative.

Don't even need to have much knowledge or intelligence; just empathy will usually get you out of the cult. Lacking both is a particularly dangerous combo; though so is intelligence and a lack of empathy. That's how you get the psychopathic grifters at the top I guess.

A lot of con voters are just kinda dumb. Most people of any population never do any kind of self reflection or critical thinking, so for these people the fact that their parents would never support a dem is pretty much the entire basis for how they vote. A lot of them are plenty empathetic in their daily lives but they just never think about what their vote means.

I keep trying to find the standup that talks about America raising ignorant stupid people. Or was it proud ignorant people. Either way, I think it was Jim Jefferies but can't find it.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Could also be George Carlin? Sounds like him, too lol.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Definitely not him because it was more recent (within 8 years) on Netflix. There was a lot of setup with references to everyone getting a trophy, and crowd drama around standing for anthem at ballgames. I feel over 90% sure it was Jim.

Americans are the last people who should complain about immigration.

Apple pie is Dutch. Guess they had to let the English in somehow.

Oh please! Virtually impossible to tell where food actually originates from! You think the the first time of someone put roast meat on bread was in hamburg?

But irrespective of what I just said, pizza is hungarian! Lángos is a lot lot lot older than italian pizza :>

[–] blackluster117@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pizza is actually Persian. You're welcome. 😛

[–] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

The first lángos was made in 8th century BCE, while persian pizza is beleived to be made in the 6th century BCE…

Apple pie comes from England, but it evolved from foods made by the Dutch, but they took/evolved it from the Ottomans who took apples from Kazakhstan.

But modern Apple pie is an English invention, it just has a lot of influences from other sources (which is the same for pretty much every food).

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

It most definitely is not an English invention. Basically all European cuisines has some form of apple pie. Pies, both sweet and savoury, was the main method of cooking food in the middle ages.

Anyone notice July 4th celebrations were way more subdued than usual? Even in my predominantly red area.

30% tariffs hitting hard.

Maga is trying to ruin American culture of being a melting pot.
