I’m a New Yorker and this is slander. A few bad apples bring up the average, but most of us bite fewer than a thousand people a year.
(Are you counting incidences of biting or individual bites? Like if I just eat a tourist, is that one biting or many bites?)
It’s a tourist, doesn’t count as bites.
i heard new york state really likes to bite small business owners
Just pack some garlic with you. Sharks hate that smell. Not sure about New Yorker however.
With their high Italian population, it would probably be just bait.
Italian
Lmao. What’s it with Americans still claiming an identity of their grandparents?
Why are you being confrontational about this? Italian Americans aren’t claiming to have Italian citizenship. Their cultural identity has more to do with their cuisine and values passed down the family. It’s more than just a piece of land that’s shaped like a boot.
Well would you admit you were just a mutt 😂
Why don’t they call themselves American? Are they stupid?
Because America is incredibly diverse, so saying your American is virtually meaningless in terms of your culture and values.
Wow I didn’t know that. I’m from a very homogeneous country, India. This concept of diversity is unfamiliar to me.
/s
And Indians tend to refer to themselves as Bengali, Tamil, Telegu, etc…
So why is Americans giving a more culturally specific title at times confusing to you?
They do, but depending on context, Italian is the answer they really being asked. If an American asks another American about their background and they get an answer like Italian-American or American of Italian decent, they’ll get a funny look because the American part is implied.
I don’t understand that too! I have some Italian ancestors on my mom’s side of the family. But I’m brazilian and I refuse to call myself “Italian”.
I’m a new yorker, and you better start running
Well, he’s the Flash so he’s pretty good at that.
Yeah, but he still has to be told to do it all the time.
What a fuuu is this Meme?
