    I feel like a lot of people are taking the post too literally (or maybe I’m not). I once knew a girl who posted a photo of her dad watching football on a plane captioned “Persian dads really need their football lol” and it’s like. That’s just a universal dad thing. Lots of dads in every culture do that.

    Some people just do not think about cultures outside their own. Like, at all.

      Certain things are constant across cultures. Among them: food, sports, and music.

      And when I say “food”, I mean beyond just biological sustenance. It’s part of culture and an important part of social gatherings.

        But the importance of food can be very different still. As a German I would say food is not a huge part of social culture. Like yes we eat together when we celebrate, but the food is usually just a necessity instead of the main focus
