    ITT people believing the self-deprecating jokes white cultures have been telling about themselves are actually 100% true

      It’s not that though. It’s Americans doing the same overused “joke” about UK, completely different country. You can’t self-deprecate another culture.

        White Americans say the same thing about themselves - that they don’t use spice. Salt is spicy, they love mayonnaise, etc.

            You mean in this post or irl?

            There are several comments about Americans here. And as far as the real world, it’s a very well known trope in America. So much so, it became a news story in the 2016 election, when Clinton was accused cultural appropriation for claiming she always carries a bottle of hot sauce in her purse.

              Everywhere. Not saying it’s not happening, everyone does a bit of self-deprecating humour some times. But the amount of slander Americans do against non-americans is just on another level.

      Do the “white people cant herbs and spices” joke have anything to do with the colonels secret recipe and the black-guy-love-fried-chicken bit?

        No, KFC isn’t what anyone would consider spicy. The black people and fried chicken thing is a separate stereotype.
