Taco belle aint Mexican

Wed 26 Jun 2019 05:17:49 AM EDT I hear a lot from some people about cultural influences and how they feel that 'American' culture is being diluted by foreign influences. A favorite gripe is store signs in #Spanish. This complaint exemplifies the backward thinking I see constantly. A store sign in Spanish is getting foreigners to act like Americans, buy Pepsi , use Charmin, drive a #Ford Automobile. These are ALL #AMERICAN PRODUCTS inserting themselves into Spanish culture. But the emotional response we see would be more appropriate if the signs told #Americans to buy Spanish products. America , us, me and you have corrupted more cultures tan I can easily name, while we whine about foreign influences! Did Ho Chi Min dream of all #Vietnamese eating Whoppers, carrying an #Amex card and listening to Hip Hop? I don't think so. Be honest with yourself #AMERICAN PRODUCTS ARE EVERYWHERE AND THEY GET FOREIGNERS TO ACT LIKE AMERICANS. Some older #foreigners do not relish seeing their children adopt western habits. And we Americans still complain about foreign influences.......
