speaking from personal experience: it is. korean-polish (in common love of cabbages?) and korean-mexican (common love of deliciousness) are the best fusion korean cuisines

Polish food 🤝 Korean food Feeding you cabbage for a healthy gut but also maximum farts

I'll say that traditional Ashkenazi brisket and kimchi go together incredibly well.

that sounds amazing and also reminds me that ashkenazi and korean cuisine both do really love themselves some pickled and fermented little guys

A lot of Americans are fat, and I think Pritzker being fat genuinely makes him vibe more like an everyman than you'd expect for a literal billionaire.

This is also part of Trump's appeal — as is Trump's shame im his fatness, *both* relatable to Gen X and older. But we don't need that! We can have body positivity instead!

He's also lost a lot of weight as of most recent photos, which is part of what's been fueling the rumors.

I disagree! Immigrants are good because *they contribute to what makes us great*. Immigration—and the pluralistic values that make welcoming immigrants work—isn't charity for the immigrants, it's what makes us strong and prosperous and free.

"But what about immigrants who don't contribute" that is a null set! Everyone contributes when they come here. The conduct of immigrants who are shitty people rarely has anything to do with their status.

Ppl who cherry pick the occasional unrepresentative “criminal alien” need to be asked if they think Italian and Jewish immigration to America in the 19th and 20th century was a mistake and net negative

The greatness of America is when we hold open the Golden Door to let the poor huddled masses in to breath free. And the huddled masses contain within them spines of steel, because to travel to a new country with nothing and make a home there requires immense fortitude.

Immigrants create more jobs than any other group, full stop. And they bring awesome food. I see no problem.

The people who brave the Darien Gap and the Mexican desert to come to America and build a new life are more American on the day they show up then J.D. Vance and his disgusting ban of fascist freaks have ever been in their fucking lives.

it's obviously possible to overdo it (like anything) but basically, the idea of a perpetually renewed cultural life in America is huge

Yeah I think the "immigrants do the jobs Americans won't do" stuff is genuinely objectionable, if possibly good politics, but highlighting the enormous benefits of immigration to all of us isn't the same thing.

A lot of Americans are scared of “foreign” food. Despite living in the South Asian culinary center of North Texas, my parents had never eaten Indian food until I married an Indo-Mauritian guy and they felt like they had to show support. Now they love it.
