@Lonar_bolur@2NotYourType@MelonThor@LeZeldaa Fusion created in America is still American culture. Modern Italian cuisine was transformed by ingredients from the Americas, especially tomatoes, yet nobody argues Italian food isn’t Italian because of cultural exchange.
@Lonar_bolur@2NotYourType@MelonThor@LeZeldaa So now the argument is that culture only counts if it’s 100% ethnically ‘pure’ with zero outside influence? By that logic, most world cuisines stop counting. America being an immigrant nation is exactly why its culture looks the way it does.
@dujjonku326765@amara_hye@luna625@Love_shot_1248 What the fuck are you talking about? Black Americans have a clear identity, which K-pop took inspiration from. That’s what I meant when I said your biggest cultural export is imitating Black people 🤣
@2NotYourType@MelonThor@LeZeldaa Now you’re shifting the argument to “traditional,” which you seem to think only means old or ancient foods passed down for centuries. That is not the only way tradition works. Traditional American foods include many of the foods I already listed.
@2NotYourType@MelonThor@LeZeldaa Internet culture is also heavily American-influenced. You’re literally using an American app while consuming culture so normalized that you don’t even notice it. There’s a saying for that: a fish doesn’t know it’s in water.
@2NotYourType@MelonThor@LeZeldaa What culture are you even talking about? That’s incredibly vague. America has massive cultural influence. Music alone spawned multiple global genres. Did you forget the contributions of Black Americans, who pioneered jazz, blues, rock, hip-hop, and much of modern popular culture?
@2NotYourType@MelonThor@LeZeldaa I’m simply listing foods you claimed Americans lack. Also, I said that because you speak in absolutes and don’t care to learn.
@2NotYourType@MelonThor@LeZeldaa Burgers are American. The German version you’re talking about was minced beef patties, but the hamburger in a bun is American and was developed in the U.S.
