Hmmmmm....I had a bagel this morning for breakfast.

Taco Bell for lunch.......

Spaghetti with meatballs for dinner.....

Not sure of the bagel, but I'm sure Taco Bell is a Mexican and the Spaghetti is as Italian as any meal at a Tiki establishment is Polynesian (probably more so, since they are kinda based on Mexican and Italian cooking, as Tiki came from Cantonese, left field).

Shoot, many years ago I was sitting in the break room at work enjoying a piece of beef jerky while wearing a leather motorcycle jacket when I learned that another coworker in the room was Hindu.....that was a bit discerning. I actually apologized if it offended her, but she said she wasn't.

My Dad's side of the family is of German decent. Last time I went to the Oktoberfest celebration here in Port St. Lucie I notice quite a few folks who were not of German decent. I guess I forgot to be offended. From the looks of the others putting on the event, they must of forgot too.

My wife is from the Philippines.....

There's all sorts of "Cultural Appropriation" going on in the US....that's why it's called a Melting Pot. If all these folks had their way, we'd all be in our own little neighborhoods and not intermingling in any way.....and that is pretty racist to me.
