       "And some people say 'These people, they're not even trying to be British. They come here, they bring their own culture, their food, speak their own language, and try to take over the whole bloody place.'Dunno. Sounds pretty British to me."~Trevor Noah😂

       @_thegeoff Try it over here on our side in America.We were literally the "melting pot" country.  We literally called ourselves that for a time.But somehow through a long campaign of hate and ignorance people were taught that the things that once made us strong somehow are really bad and should be stopped at all costs.

       @minentromaxinfo @_thegeoff Well, "melting pot" never meant that, but it also wasn't said or taught for long I guess.And I'll concede that America has had this same issue multiple times before.  We're very good at hate definitely.  I'm just saying that it's a country that was formed by people coming over in the first place and has always consisted of that until pretty darned recently, so that's the lack of self-awareness that we are at at this point.

       @minentromaxinfo @_thegeoff I bet quite a lot of Native Americans would agree.  😆 The amazing thing is, they treat Native Americans (who were here first!) the same way they treat immigrants.  Or worse...

       @_thegeoffIf you go to the UK and don't bring your own food, you will most likely regret it.

       @mndflayr "The only nation to spend a hundred years setting up a spice empire, only to assidiously refuse to use it in their food"Luckily, that started to change a few years after I was born, we discovered pizza ("Italian Welsh Rarebit"), and importantly a version of Indian food that has become as much a staple as fish and chips (Jewish tradition via Belgium). I built my own tandoor in the garden and my life is all the better for it.

       @_thegeoff Brits should be better informed about our barbaric empire before declaring any positivity about British culture.
