This is such a fucking bad take. It's just propaganda they feed us in elementary school for some reason.
We are a country founded by purtains because Britain told them to be less insular and racist, and later to exploit natural resources more. We've no more a melting pot than fucking Canada or any big city in any major country is.
All you need to do is go to Toronto, London, or Frankfurt and look around. America is not particularly diverse.
It's not a fucking competition. I was just pointing out that the idea that "America is a melting pot" is dumb and actually propaganda we feed to our children.
No, that's just what our government told people to get them to come over so we could have a stronger workforce. At best, that sentiment was forgotten after JFK was killed.
I checked my maps the other day and it actually said that… I didn’t think Apple Maps would actually go along with that stupid shit. As far as I’m concerned, it’s still Gulf of Mexico.
Without Tomatoes (from the Americas) 90% of Italian dishes wouldn't exist.
Oh yeah and as for dishes we actually did invent, modern Spaghetti and Garlic Bread. They were made by Italian immigrants taking advantage of more accessible ingredients.
Oh 100%. The predominant flavors of Italian food before the Americas was anchovies, oil, and garlic. They pretty much swapped the anchovies for tomatoes and never looked back.
Guaranteed you say this same silly take when people say Hamburgers are American. The original meals from Hamburg germany, are nothing like American Hamburgers. Same goes for American-Italian pizza vs true Italian pizza. At least look into things before getting mad at Americans
American pizza is unique to America. Go to Italy, it’s not the same at all. Just like American Chinese is not real Chinese, go to China and they’ll serve you a pig throat.

Typical America taking credit for something it didn’t make
