No, I'm discredited in the idea that you can claim someone else as British. Just because someone moves to Britain doesn't make them British. I don't think most British people would claim that it does. Most Americans don't even though they should

So you agree with the racist British people who don’t want immigrants in their country? You think this helps your argument or hurts it?

Why should Americans and not British and if a white person had created the dish, would you question whether they were British?

Depends on if the white person considers themselves british. This is not connected to anyone that's race. It's a self-identification question

Okay, but the person with the strongest claim to have invented the dish (you know, the minority who you keep trying to strip of his achievements), was British, and quite proudly so by all accounts.

I did not question his britishness I question his claims to invention. Surely you could understand why a restaurateur would want to be identified as the person who invented a popular meal right....

Do you apply this to *all* food invented by a restaurateur? Because is so, the USA has no food culture at all.

I mean.... Yes? We have americanized "chinese food" but no one would claim "chinese food is american cuisine" We still call mexican food "mexican food" America is not britian.

Yes, we would probably call a Tikka Masala "Indian food" because it's a convenient shorthand for a type of food. That doesn’t mean that Chicken Tikka Masala isn’t British.

I honestly think this is a ridiculous take, and I suspect you know that, but for some reason are doubling down. Of course there is "American" food culture.

BillThePony @billthepony.bsky.social

And nobody says that Mexican food is American food. Nobody says that Chinese food is American food. Nobody says that Indian food is American food. Even though all those foods are here. There's a reason we call them but things we call them

Everyone who possibly could claim to have invented it is British though. You cannot justify your argument.

No Bill, you have loudly and repeatedly questioned his Britishness in a number of ways, and I want to know what prompted that. You may have questioned whether he invented tikka masala, but that's irrelevant to this particular conversation

Nope. You attempted to pivot to that after you were soundly slapped around the internet for your original assertion that the dish and its inventor could not be British. You don't need to lie, poppet. You can pull on your big boy pants and admit you were wrong.

Also just to point out the numerous ways you have infantilised immigrants as if they are being somehow victimised by being called British is also racist

I never questioned any specific persons "britishness" (as much as such a thing exists). I question chicken tikka masala as "British cuisine"
