Current Events > man I realize now american schooling is hella culturally biased

(+) Yeah! (+)

I remember one assignment for health class was we were supposed to list the ingredients of the food we ate each meal

but like my family is korean
we have like 15 side dishes every dinner
and then one lunch I had kimbap which is a roll with rice veggies and meat but the form didn't have enough space for even the ingredients in that dish

it's like they expected everyone to go home and eat canned corn and boiled chicken breast
---

Yeah, America is a shithole tbh

actually pretty sure they were expecting everyone to list "bread, tomato sauce, cheese, toppings"

I was raised on such a poor/homogenous diet that trying to learn how to feed myself as an adult feels impossible tbh. I envy that aspect of your upbringing.

Like i dont even know where to begin, variety is hard to learn

TFW the health class assignment is listing ingredients of what you had for lunch but you're Korean and the form doesn't even have enough space for the ingredients in kimchi

If it bothers you that much you could always go back to Korea and go to school there

And you couldn't lie and say you just had a ham sandwich because?

that's really not the point but im not surprised you either don't get it or are pretending to be too dense to

I thought you were just joking but it really seems you're serious about it.

I can see why that'd be frustrating.

totally relate to this growing up as a poor black kid

i think that's why i relate to my azn brothers so well

No I get it but this seems like it would be a no issue if you just fucking lied and said you and a sandwich hell It wouldn't matter what I ate this is exactly what would do in any circumstance because that is the easiest option and anyone no matter their background can do that so the culturally biased thing doesn't really matter

"i like to turn around and grab my ankles when other people make things inconvenient for me"

in any case i defiantly just wrote "kimbap" as an ingredient and kinda dared my teacher to say something

since we were IN korea at the time, the teacher was cool with it
lol

Who says you need to list all the ingredients in kimchi? Just write it as its own component. It's not like the people who ate a sandwich are going to be listing the ingredients of bread.

You're missing the point here. Both are processed foods that are included in preparing meals, but aren't usually eaten as a meal on their own.

Ur right. Americas schools say our way or no way.
Common core is ridiculous

i know you're half-trolling here, but because your family is eating like 15+ different things (an obscene amount) at a single meal, then your school's assignments should've catered to you?

how many other cultures serve that many different things at single meals, and regularly enough to where you think it should be widely and actively acknowledged ?
---

That sounds like an individual teacher's dumb idea for an assignment, TC. Regardless I wouldn't have taken it seriously.

Scottish cuisine is a mark of total embarrassment to me. And no, I'm not talking about haggis. That's genuinely good stuff. Haggis, and cold water salmon, and stornaway black pudding. These things are terrific. But these are not things that Scots actually eat.

No what I'm talking about is what the average Scottish person considers food. Cheese and chips. Chips and gravy. Fish and chips. Chips and chips. Greggs pies. Sausage rolls. Irn Bru. Frozen peas with all of the above.

The overall attitude towards food in this country is that if it takes effort to make and isn't 90% batter and pastry, then it's some kind of posh wank food. People are genuinely proud of how lowbrow their food choices are. The amount of scots I know who wouldn't even know how to make breakfast that wasn't fried eggs and bacon astonishes me. The people in my office either eat vegetable broth day-in-day-out, or a sausage roll. 50 year old women eating mcdonalds for lunch 2-3x a week.

Same goes for Northern English folk. You guys are possibly worse.

many, many non-euro, non-American cultures offer an astonishing amount of food variety per meal

compared to common "American" fare

give me some specific examples that show that it's both a very regular occurrence, and where these cultures have sizable enough populations in the u.s. to warrant a change to your assignment

while you're at it, list the 15 different things your family was regularly eating every dinner, and link me to pics of this assortment of things all on single tables (should be readily available, yeah? if it's as typical and common as you're making it seem to be?)

"your culture isn't sizable enough to matter"

so america should cater to everything or something?

and what about the other parts of my post? where's the response to that?

Whats the point of this topic? Tc is ****** about the fact that some dumb Trumpland **** hole suburb town doesnt have Korean food and only eats food loaded with sodium and fat?! Hmmmm Im shocked!

Bending over and grabbing your ankles? Really? Its more of learning to choose your battles. Imagine sticking your flag in the ground over food ingredients.

i can smell the lack of culture itt

i mean, i guess you were just trolling/semi-trolling to begin with

don't know what i was expecting

If a white American went to school in Korea and expected them to start making his diet and cultural differences a priority, most of CE would attack him for being entitled at best and racist at worst.

Seems like an awfully stupid thing to actually be complaining about.
