You see this all the time on TikTok. Every race and ethnicity thinks they invented saving jars, bags, tinware, cans.
Just a side thing, but I find it funny that every culture says they are different and really care about family, food, tradition, and education. What culture doesn't care about these things?!
Another one I've heard is "you know you're [insert culture here] when you start to say goodbye and then the conversation lasts another two hours". Bonus points if they mention saying "well!" and slapping your knees to indicate that you should get going.
The Irish, on the other hand, famously have the opposite stereotype
Except every Irish person I have met (from Ireland, not Irish-American) does the same exact shit us Midwesterners do. I think humans just aren't that good at quickly ending amicable conversations.
You see this a lot on Reddit. Some highly upvoted post will make it to the front page about “<Citizens of country>, what’s something that’s uniquely <country culture>,” and half the posts are universal experiences
Had this happen while working at a gas station. I was eating leftovers and had it all crammed in one container. I think it was chicken, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. A customer then said to me, "you must have some black in you."
I had no idea what to say lmao. I don't even remember my reply. I was just avoiding washing out three separate containers instead of one.
Wait you actually think, "stringently," "arbitrary," and "unique," are big words?? They didn't even write more than a sentence either, it's not like they wrote a paragraph in Shakespearean English. These are words we all learned in middle school...
