You’re literally wrong. A hamburger as a sandwich is a US creation. So is gumbo. Literally do a 2 minute search about it before “thinking” you know what you’re talking about. Lol

I find it fascinating that almost half of the world has their own dumpling (ie. a small ball of a cheap source of protein and fat held together by a wrapping of flour dough; cooked by boiling in water).
I bet if you they would all dispute the origin of that food item.

My point is that US people tend to claim ownership to a lot of things that were not invented there. I’m all for sharing culture and food and transforming them to something new, but don’t claim they are your invention.
Like as american as apple pie is an expression for a dish from Germany and the Netherlands.

My point is that nationalism is poisoning society and destroying the ecosystem, and this discussion isn’t helping.

That I completely agree with and concede the point.

Nah, I as an naturalized American citizen I do not want stuff I create to be called “Chinese”, its xenophobic. I mean, you can say “Chinese-American” to refer to me but not “Chinese”. Cuz why is a white US Citizen creating stuff labeled as “American” while stuff I make is not “American”? Double standards.
If I come up with a new food receipe, its American food. If I make a painting, that’s made by an American artist. If I publish a book, that’s written by an American writer. Don’t fucking try to “other” me.

Meanwhile, German Chocolate Cake has nothing to do with Germany!
It was created by a guy with the last name of German…

The chocolate was made by a man named Samuel German in the 1850s, but recipe for the cake that uses the chocolate was made by a Mrs. George Clay, who sent her recipe into the Dallas Morning News in 1957.
