I’ll take both
Why are we getting weird and territorial about cheese and pasta?
Because if we don’t separate everything by race, how can we hate each other effectively? We must attempt to make people feel bad or excluded for our differences!
White people then: eradicate african cultures White people now: stop exluding us from african American culture you racists!
YEAH! Fuck me because of something my great great grandpa may have done that I have never once done nor wanted to do. I’m obviously a bad person because of my skin color, you see.
We really playing the “if some of the people your color did something bad 200 years ago all of the people your color are bad now” game? Because quite frankly I know some pretty shitty people who feel the same way you do that would love to take this opportunity to remind you that the FBI says that while african americans only make up 12% of the population they are responsible for 50% of the crime, and they feel very similarly to you that this means the entirety of black people are criminals.
OR we could realize both you and those racists are objectively some of the stupidest people in the fucking world and should shut right the fuck up with their racism and your prejudice.
And now I’m going to exit lemmy for a few hours and go eat more ethnic food with my ethnic friends and have a good time while you wallow in hatred both self- and prejudicial, and there’s not one fucking thing you can do to stop us.
President’s Day
I maintain that Mac and Cheese is one of those foods that weirdly gets better the worse and more fake it is.
Ive had some gourmet shit and I always think “I miss the old Kraft one with the tinned cheese.”
Cause you’re tasting that sweet, sweet nostalgia.
I’d bet if you gave someone that’s never had Mac and cheese before Kraft Mac vs a good gourmet Mac, the gourmet will win by an absolute landslide.
Cheap Mac and cheese isn’t good because it’s good… It’s good because of the old memories attached to it.
Nah, thats not it.
The gourmet stuff just seems to be missing the whole point for me, not saying its bad Ive had some that were really good but they just seem to be missing the point. Its never going to be good for me nutritionally speaking, its not going to be served at a michellin star restaraunt. It’s Macaroni and Cheese. It’s like corn chips, I’m not saying that the gourmet Deli ones are bad, but they arent Doritos. That orange powder is delicious because it’s fake and engineered. I wouldnt make Nachos with Doritos but if your after that “Cheez” its whats right.
Hard disagree. Gourmet mac just tastes like noodles and bland cheese gravy.
Good meme! (I have no clue what any of it means other than the dates)
Juneteenth celebrates the abolishment of slavery, I’d say people of colour are the most happy about that, and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
4th of July celebrates the US independence, which though not a predominantly a white holiday more white people (on account of being a racial majority) will celebrate it, and white people are stereotypically famous for making bland food
This seems pretty dumb… I don’t typically attribute amazing Mac and cheese to minorities.
Like… Most other foods, sure. But this one? Come now…
The meme is specifically referring to the quality of food at black cookouts versus white cookouts. If you’ve been to both, you know.
and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
Can’t say I’m familiar with that stereotype as it relates to black Americans. Immigrant minorities, sure.
The stereotype of white people making bland food is pretty common in the black community. And adding raisins to potato salad.
people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
The stereotype I always saw was just KFC, watermelon and some purple drink. Maybe it was a bit more aggressive stereotype than what you had in mind
White => English
All whole people from anywhere else is proud of their food
Juneteenth does not celebrate the abolishment of slavery. It celebrates the news arriving in Houston. New Jersey had slavery six months after juneteenth. Also it only freed men.
I have never seen anything that says the Emancipation Proclamation or the 13th Amendment only freed men. Do you have a source for that?
Did women have the right to vote, to open a bank account, to live without a man controlling them?
Mac and cheese casserole is almost always inferior to the cheese sauce variety. The best versions meet in the middle, but I absolutely hate that eggy cheese quiche shit.
