caulfield12 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Don't forget collard greens. Thanks, Fuzzy Zoeller Actually, aren't tacos part of Spanish culture? Or did they originate in Mexico after colonization? Just curious. I eat at "tapas" restaurants here in China, but Mexican "international" food is pretty much non-existent except for Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong. I've also never seen a single Taco Bell (which of course is not "authentic" compared to what you'd get south of the Border, either) in any Asia country. Most Asians do eat rice, dumplings and/or noodles everyday in some form....so the "go eat rice" thing isn't nearly as annoying to them as the making the "slant eyes" gesture last seen in the World Championships for basketball. As to being "right" or conservative, the slam/political forums are the place for that. It also depends how you go about being conservative....if it's self-deprecating or annoying (like the newest incantation of Donald Trump). At any rate, the baseball side of the forum tends to be a lot more sensitive to those types of statements. And perhaps there's even some remnants of working class/labor/Southside "populism" left in being a White Sox fan. Maybe Brooks Boyer and his demographics people could be more illuminating. One would think the Sox and Cubs fanbases have become more similar than dissimilar over the last generation or two of fans, compared to say the 70's or 80's.

One would think the Sox and Cubs fanbases have become more similar than dissimilar over the last generation or two of fans, compared to say the 70's or 80's. most of the ethnic food of many races has to do with economy, and even in the irish and english way of life. never would any middle to higher classes would eat potato but it was dirty and grew in dirt. that is what the higher class thought. Hispanic was the same, using every part of a cow, pig, chicken etc.... and instead of bread, it was tortilla's. the same with american indians. when the african americans came as slaves, they learned from other races on how to eat EVERYTHING ON THE HOOF. that was that term came for eating what was considered peasant food that the poor white and hispanic was expected to eat. can you imagine, ribs, ham, pig feet, fries, etc.... would not been a staple today if most of our earlier ancestors could afford to eat b/c they were not high nobility.

One would think the Sox and Cubs fanbases have become more similar than dissimilar over the last generation or two of fans, compared to say the 70's or 80's. but the asians are very different in their thinking of food. rice to them is ok, even for the nobles. it is a staple to eat, a bowl of rice, a plate of veggies and maybe a fish. is a great meal that all asians can eat, without thinking it is for the lower class only. i may be wrong, i dated an asian and what i found out is food is for eating no matter who is at the table.
