Mexican AND Cajun food?! What sort of magical country is this? Truly those who created it must have been as gods!EstrogenicMuscle said:
Lol, I'm hungry so goodnight.
Edit: Captcha - Do you like Mexican food? Creepy...
Quick question; what do they serve at an American themed restaurant? I've actually always been curios about that. Is it mainly the named types, like cajun and soul food, or do they have different menus for different regions (Southern, New England, Texan/Tex-Mex, etc.)?Scarim Coral said:
I'll take my own country-United States of America. We have a little bit of everything over here. I love the variety of cuisine that we have and the vast culture. I also like having land to shoot my guns in peace and not have to worry about random people wandering by.
Obsession is not good for you. No, I like a range of cultures and won't be pidginholed into liking just one thankyou very much.
Hmmm, thats actually pretty hard. I'd say either Russia, Germany, or France. I have roots in the latter two and their cultures(both historic and contemporary) fascinate me. Though I do actually parle' un petite francais, as opposed to only a few few scattered words of German. These two I actually have some real connection. Russia on the other hand, I just admire. Its foolish really, because Russia as a country is pretty fucked up, but I like the idea of Russia. Sounds stupid, but its the truth. Also, Soviet weapons are amazing.
Also, I am assuming we are not counting our native countries, if we are my answer is obviously the United States.

Glorious Mother Russia. I would learn some Russian and everything. I already have the hat and I love the country.
I dislike the whole idea of weeaboos as a insult. Especially since they are usually mocked for liking Japanese culture, despite not being Japanese by blood. Why should blood matter? Who cares where you were born, or where your ancestors were? Identify with whatever culture you want. If you like Japanese traditions and mannerism, you should be able to adopt them without being mocked for it. Following this same line of logic, (or rather the reverse) I choose the land of my noble ancestors, either Denmark or Norway. Can't really decide which.
I'll be whomever I want to be! I don't play by your "rules" man!The_Echo said:

It's called appropriation. It's the same thing colonizers did after they smashed a country to bits and raped and savaged the inhabitants. Why do you think it's cute nowadays for white folks to run around wearing headdresses? It's a sick way to exploit people who've been marginalized. Appreciate the culture, sure. I personally wouldn't say someone's an asshole because they want to learn another language and about another culture; that's edifying and humanizing (normally, for both the learner and the culture s/he learns about). Identify with? No, not unless you were raised there and it is your home culture, and even then, it's important to be aware of social power dynamics. Otherwise, you'd just be doing the same stuff that Elvis and Justin Timberlake do.Lonewolfm16 said:
Basically, consider this: Japanese immigrants were harassed, abused, mocked, and put in internment camps for identifying as Japanese (just in how they look, mind you). Today, there's still plenty of racism going on against Japanese-Americans, and that's damaging shit. Meanwhile, if a white person does that (and not just the whole capitalist thing of buying all the anime-related stuff one can, but really seeks to perform a Japanese identity), at worst, s/he will be made fun of, and at best, praised. That's bullshit. I'm not saying the white person in this case is personally bad (how would I know), but I am saying that this person is indulging in and perpetuating systems of power that promote hatred/violence/dehumanization against persons of color. Makes me think of the absurdity of The Last Samurai and a Paul Mooney joke.
Anyways, I pick Egypt, because Egypt was and continues to be awesome.
Probably Norway I guess? I like the music that comes out of there and it seems to be a generally pretty progressive and pleasant to be; nice and quiet with a fair bit of natural beauty to it, viking history would be fascinating to delve into and as far as I'm aware the weather isn't ridiculously warm. But that's just if I had to pick something, realistically I know very little about foreign cultures in the grand scheme of things, I can't really see myself living in a place where I have to learn a new language (even if a surprising amount of Scandinavians seem to speak pretty good English) and I imagine I'd look like a massive fucking touristy tool of a twat to all the locals if I went around wearing any Black Metal shirts. XD
I'm from the States and even though I've traveled a bit overseas, I am not really obsessed with another country. But, at the moment, I seem to be fairly interested in Montana; my husband's home state. We visit his family there every year and I've been enjoying it. The people have been nice and there are some lovely views.
