MODERATORS
Would you mind telling me why you are offended by this?
Because it plays on harmful stereotypes.
How is this even a question?
Just how is "I cooka da meatball" harmful?
It kinda contributes to the derogatory stereotypes that are already quite widespread in certain cultures about Italians, i.e., uneducated people who can't speak a language and talk like super mario and whose life is basically about food.
I highly respect Italians for their delicious food. I have never heard of someone making fun of Italians for that.
Technically you are falling for the positive stereotype fallacy, like saying Asians are good at math or the endowment of black males doesn't count as prejudice because those are "good things". Same boat as the Model Minority myth for East Asians.
People from those cultures may lean into those positive stereotypes or be less bothered by them, but they are still a prejudice. They also make it a little easier for less positive stereotypes to be believed by less educated or less tolerant people.
That said, as an Italian American you can pry my cooking stereotypes from my cold dead hands.
That makes sense, thanks for pointing out my fallacy.
You miss the point, and the point is that Italians are stereotyped as ignorant who only think about food. This has nothing to do with Italian food itself.
