Do you believe that there are personality traits specific to ethnicities ?

My friend jokes about her "Irish temper", I’ve heard about "Latin tempers" or "passion" and the French being "romantic".
Where do the stereotypes come from and is there anything to them other than hype ? 🤔

I am fascinated by videos of people dining on dishes their cultures don’t have. Even Brits eating American food. Alike in so many ways but quite different in others. I have come to see it as a genuine way for us to set aside all the garbage we’ve heard about other lands and meet on a basic level.

And when we experience THEIR food, we love it. Food is a bridge.

And a reminder. While many of us think “Hmm. What do I want to eat tonight?” there are still many on our planet who think “Will I eat tonight, or tomorrow?”

I think it’s primarily cultural, not genetic.

Happy Thanksgiving!
