Angela Liu so true, it was always some recycled very crinkly plastic grocery bag that a white mum would have thrown away 😅

[@angelaliu762]

yup. gotta save those plastic bags from Shop Rite, Walmart, Dollar Store, etc...

[@nathanmantle377]

My mom never threw those away. I think that this is less a racial thing, and more of a financial thing. If you come from a poor(ish) family, you are more likely to save things like plastic bags, plastic cutlery, etc, and even if the next generation is wealthier, they still keep these frugal traits from the previous generation :). I know that some racial generalizations do hold up, but not this one! You can definitely find white people who are very similar to the typical "asian mom" lol. I used to bring sushi to school and the kids would be like "the fuck is that shit, dude?"

@Morthal guard Well from a show saying "(insert asian name) was food poisoned, I'm proud of him, his body is rejecting white ppl food." I'm not surprised. You have to let go and just enjoy the joke at some point.

[@TastyGamingQc]

@Morthal guard It's not a question about being proud, it's a joke about racist stereotypes. Which serve to reinforce the idea such notions are to be laugh at...do I really need to explain to you there's more than one degree to a joke/story/movie ? This could also be to, make fun of the stereotype asian ppl aren't use to black ppl. Since there's not a lot of black individuals and communities in most asian countries, they sometimes tend to be a bit...not racist but rather like that one kid that points a black person in the bus and ask "why is he brown ?" Then you also have to take the joke in its context, which is an entire episode based on the topic of racism. They have to make at least one of the character against the idea of mixing cultures to move the plot along and show their point of view. Finally, when you understand the joke for what it is, you can then laugh at the *absurdity* of it.

This scene brought back so many memories. My mum would always pack rice, curries or pastries with curry filling for me. She would wake up early just to make a meal for me. But i was too embarrassed and wanted to 'fit in' that i would throw it away in school. When i got home i would eat like crazy. My mum felt that something wasnt right and went to my primary school where she and my prep tracher found out that i was throwing my lunch away. At first, she was MAD. I was a bratty little kid who was too young and stupid, and so i said that her lunch wasnt good and that i wanted what the other kids ate. I can never forget how hurt she looked in that moment. She asked me what the other kids ate. I said salami and cheese or sandwiches with nutella. She silently took my hand and we went to the closest supermarket where she bought the salami, the cheese and the nutella. I remember her googling how to make salami and cheese sandwich the right way. The next day for lunch she sent me off with the sandwich. I remember feeling so excited for lunch, to feel like everyone else. But lunch time came around and i took one bite and i hated it😂 i missed my mums cooking immediately. I went home and she asked if i liked the lunch and i immediately bawled and said that i will eat anything she gives from now on. She laughed so hard that day. I kept getting made fun of during lunch, but the turning point came in grade 4 when one of the kids who always made fun of me didnt have lunch one day. In australia, theres no cafeteria system like in the US - kids always bring lunch from home. So i gave him a bit of my lunch and he fell in love with it. So much so that my mum ended up packing extra lunch for him and his brother for the rest of the school year. And he and his friends never picked on me again😊

Since there's a lot of stories about Asian/etc. lunches in American schools here, I'm just gonna drop a story of mine, a bit different though. I live in Malaysia, where the culture is quite diverse and the population consists mostly of Malays, Chinese and Indians. I went to a Chinese school when I was in primary school, so I was pretty much surrounded by Chinese students while I'm a Melanau(just search it up). And from what I saw, most parents brought warm, delicious food in tupperware for their children during recess. But it wasn't just Chinese food, no. Some parents brought curry, while others brought fragrant fried rice or noodles. Basically, different foods of different culture were all there in one place. Best part was that we all didn't have problems sharing food because we never really disliked food of different culture. No one complained about smelly food; you'd be the one looking weird if you complained about the smell (unless if it's expired nasi lemak which stinks really bad).

[@johnyang2]

It's making a caricature out of American racism. I am talking about racism in the most subtle way. Assimilation, xenophobia, and peer pressure to fit in with white people. I certainly experienced that during the 80's when I was in school. Being able to speak different languages is not cool; it's unAmerican! Ignorance is a bliss. How sad! I certainly hope at this day and age, this country has come a long way. And the minority school kids do not have to put up with the bologna of what I had been thru.

[@robertb7230]

What a wrong headed, stupid world view to say assimilation is "racism". Tell me again how many white people are "assimilating" in most Asian countries? Because I certainly didn't see many when I was hired to be the token "important white man" for our partner firm's office. The irony of Asians, of ALL PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET claiming that peer pressure and assimilation and xenophobia are racist is too much to handle. Also, speaking different languages is fine. What's not fine is not speaking the host language. Huge swaths of kids today are ESL all the way into high school--that's not okay, as teaching a kid who doesn't natively speak the host language, costs 30-100% more on average, its a huge strain on our system. This wasn't a problem with Asians because they typically went through a difficult selection process (Most Asians could speak English before coming here) but its a huge problem with illegals who can simply cross a land border. Pointing that out is not a "bad" thing.

This reminded me so much of myself when I was a kid. I was exactly like this. I begged my mom for Lunchables or sandwiches because everyone had that. My mom never bought it for me.

I bought it once that day and I never bought it again.
