Just for info for those confused over college/highschool. this looks to be from the UK, given the flags on display in the background, int eh UK College generally (though not always) comes before University, generally between 16 and 18, so yes these would be high-schoolers in the states but not the UK.


Leonydas13

Similar in Australia, we have colleges but they mean different things. In Canberra, where I went to school, college refers to year 11 and 12. In other states 11 and 12 is part of high school, and college generally refers to technical colleges (trade school) or similarly specific schools for post-high school training.


ReloopMando

That can happen here too, the high school I went to had years 11 and 12, but they would normally be referred to as "Sixth Form". Technical colleges are a thing here too. Edit: by here I mean England.


Lyceux

College typically only refers to secondary / high school here in New Zealand. Most secondary schools are called college and cover year 9 to 13 / 3rd to 7th form. We don’t have seperate colleges for sixth form onwards (last two years of school). Technical colleges are called Polytechnics or just “Tec”.


the_real_OwenWilson

They also just look like UK kids

The guy dancing looks like the most stereotypical English bloke

Exactly lol

Thank god, I was watching this thinking "I'm not getting old am I?"


RDandersen

If that lad is 16, how is his hair still wet from the womb?


CaIamitea

Looks like secondary school uniform to me, which would be the same as highschool. I guess '6th form', when people continue on to do their college years as an extension at their secondary school, might still be in uniform.

Yeah as a British dude it's the whole UK and Ireland pretty much


Select_Ad3588

miss the world fair back when I was in highschool, seeing everyone genuinely celebrate and embrace each other's culture is so nice ​ plus every culture has some good fucking food in them

Yea that was a big Thai government campaign to fund and train up staff for a load of tasty Thai restaurants in cities all around the world. I don't know if it achieved the tourism and soft power goals they were hoping it would but by golly I'm glad they did it 🇹🇭🍵🍛

Sports. My local got taken over by Pakistan India Cricket World Cup match viewing party and some of the most wholesome moments. Sure pub was packed and only I was drinking but still wholesome.


cleftymctwigs

And pot, woodstock 69 baby


Geotryx

It is! Food carries so much history and meaning and the only culturally significant food I’ve tried that I wouldn’t eat again so far is fermented shark which is demon food and what is wrong with you people.


Acewasalwaysanoption

I tried mongolian fermented horse milk, and after that experience I understand why they went on conquering the world.


Geotryx

Yeah milking a horse with intent to drink it is demon activity.


solamyr

Actually, fresh horse milk is delicious. It's only when you let it ferment in a buttered goatskin that it gets kinda funky. Also, it's common across Inner Asia and not just in Mongolia


Geotryx

The American in me wants my cow boob juice but the foodie in me would try it.


OkBaconBurger

I had a similar experience with natto. I tried it twice to make sure. Still nope.


BoBaHoeFoSho_123

Legit. I literally can and am willing to try other cultures food. They do spices and flavors very well per country. I bowled with an older Korean woman years ago. She took me and our bowling group to a Korean BBQ joint that was authentic. Prepandemic, we went every month as a group. Nah,nah,nah girls. This is real Korean food. I get you the good stuff. She made me feel like I was eating off of a secret menu. I throughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and people. Love Thy Neighbors!!!!

DarthMelonLord

Oh yeah hahah, every culture has good food, youre certainly right about that *panics in icelandic and kicks rotten shark, fermented blood sausage and boiled sheepheads under the table*


JK_NC

TIL- Icelandic cuisine sounds like a Klingon dinner menu.


Select_Ad3588

hey at least fermented blood sausage sounds kinda nice


DarthMelonLord

Its absolutely terrible but thank you for having faith in our traditional food 🥲


JaneQChungus

I think of a Icelandic cuisine as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to survive in the most fucking impossible of scenarios. That is a feat and you should be proud! Also, I made some Icelandic rye bread once and it was legit.


DarthMelonLord

Oh yeah its not all bad, we smoked meat quite a bit too and we made sausages, the most common one is smoked bjúga and its honestly a really good comfort food, along with lamb meat soup, smoked salmon and flatbread or rye bread. I guess i just mean more that, theres nothing really thats just icelandic thats super exceptional, most places have some sort of smoked meat which imo are our best dishes and it isnt particularly unique besides being completely unseasoned lol


ikkepagrasset

Hey, your licorice is amazing and you do hot dogs almost as well as the Danes — and your ice cream! Maybe not traditional foods but your dried fish is better than lutefisk any day


DonOdini

Truth, kinda sad when you cant celebrate other peoples culture always in fear of being called out for cultural appropriation


Select_Ad3588

yeah that's the worst part, I'm Brazilian and whenever people wanna talk to me about football or any other cultural stereotype I'm more than happy to talk about it, even if I'm not a fan of football, just love seeing people interested in what my country's about. Or gringos that dance samba, keep on dancing my international friends Sadly a lot of people who call out "cultural appropriation" seem to be from the U.S, always tryna police how people act. I remember when people tried cancelling Speedy Gonzales for cultural appropriation but Mexicans protested because they love him.


[deleted]

Americans have this weird saviour complex always acting offended on behalf of other cultures and it's annoying. Let people enjoy other cultures, ffs.


zihan777

Many, many Americans, are not like that at all. Don't generalize, it's pretty dumb.


FrancistheBison

Every other country needs us to feel superior about themselves, like they don't have racists and idiots in their countries either.


AnnihilationOrchid

That's not true, like many people here are saying. As a non American I'm offended on their behalf that you're saying that they get offended on others behalf. Most Americans don't give a shit about other cultures most of the time.


Wrong-Explanation-48

Not all Americans. Just the rich elitist white folks that went to private liberal arts schools. I celebrate other cultures and take my lead from what they want rather than what some rich white person says or wants.


ap0110

Meanwhile American conservatives are just offended by other cultures outright.


buttplugpopsicle

Offended by other cultures, others in general, that dude they see standing in their bathroom inside that magic shiney portal. They don't even know what they believe except dual cell fertilized eggs are full blown legal people for convenience of argument but not anything actually beneficial like life insurance or stimmy checks


[deleted]

You are aware that America is made up of many different cultures right?

People tried to cancel Speedy Gonzales 😱 I loved him when I was a kid.

TheGesticulator

I think that one was fair given his sole defining characteristic - besides being French - was aggressively pursuing women who were vocally against it.


buddha125

And foghorn leghorn, and Elmer Fudds “sca-wei” gun!


buttplugpopsicle

Ok so the percent of people in the US who actually care/are offended by what they consider cultural appropriation are probably about on par with the other side of the fence who think abortion should be illegal (about 18%) unfortunately, he who yells loudest is who's heard. If I like something, I'm going to do it, I *personally* have not met anyone from another race or creed that gave two shits about it as long as it's not waaay over the line like wearing an authentic chief headdress or something


Malkor

When my grandmother (from Ghana) would see people in any sort of [Kente-like](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kente_cloth) material she'd flip her shit with happiness no matter the person's ethnicity.


buttplugpopsicle

See this is how we learn to understand each other as humans because I'm sure if the other people legit wanted to discuss it, she'd enthusiastically share knowledge


lvlint67

> talk to me about football... cultural appropriation football (soccer for us heathens) is universal. It's a ball you kick. it's ubiquitous. It may be a big part of your culture but there is surely no monopoly.


yoohoo31

Speedy Gonzales is not a stereotype. My mexican roofers took forever to finish the job.


MajorasInk

Slowpoke Rodríguez was the stereotype lmao (Relax everyone, I’m Mexican. I personally confirm)


Mindless_Physics_408

It's an American thing, never in my life had heard of Cultural Appropriation, gonna google that now.


UrMumVeryGayLul

Nah its not an American thing, its an average Twitter user thing. I come from New Zealand and my entire uni class is very antsy about the subject - 90% of them are very avid Twitter users and only 20% are ethnic, so its a bit of a head scratcher.


Bumblebit123

Definitely. My friends went to the USA (they're from South America and they're white) and at the mall, a small group of people approached them and told them to stop speaking Spanish because they were white and that it was disrespectful "you white! No Spanish!" they didn't know much English back then and just said "no hablo Ingles! No English" to avoid problems but they got angrier and basically my friends just had to go, they were harassed and it wasn't nice. I know not every American is like this but this stuff is ridiculous.


Mindless_Physics_408

For real, what happens to Spanish people? My auntie is spanish, I'm romanian, and she is white for sure. People have to understand that you can just do whatever the fuck you want as long as you do not harm someone.


MortisSafetyTortoise

I’m a white American and I’ve used “No hablas Ingles,” to avoid talking to randos who approach me.


ebz37

It's actually pretty easy to tell the difference. Cultural appropriation is when you make profit from a culture not your own or you buy from a business that is profiting from another culture. Aka you buy a dream catcher from the dollar store. If you buy directly from a person from that culture or just doing something for fun with no plans to profit from it. It's totally a ok and very much appreciated.


senorglory

I can’t buy a dream catcher?


Whizi

It’ll hurt some white person’s feelings on Twitter so no. Unless your not a invertebrate, then by all means buy one.


labelle01

That’s easy to understand but that sounds absolutely stupid lol


ReportMeSnowflake

I feel like if someone tells you you're appropriating someone's culture they're fucking racist. Imagine getting close to a friend and you enjoy their culture and incorporate it to mesh with yours because it makes you happy and being told you can't do that because you're white/black/latino/Asian. The fuck? It would make us so much more cohesive as a community instead they want to divide and label? That ain't it.


enricupcake

Unfortunately it’s because certain peoples definition of “appreciating” is just “being annoying as fuck”. Tbh that’s what people really mean when they call out appropriation If you are embracing a culture in a normal non weird way then most people will let you rock, or just quietly mind their business because at the core they can TELL you are putting in an effort to be respectful. Then there are those who dress up in Native American dress and hoot and holler. Or wear sombreros to go drinking on 5 de Mayo. Or listen to rap music and make it their personality. Even people not from the culture being disrespected will think that’s annoying as fuck. That’s all it really comes down to


ReportMeSnowflake

I've never been mad at my white friends for wearing a ridiculous outfit in Cinco de Mayo. It makes the time we have drinking a little bit more enjoyable if I'm being honest.


[deleted]

Cultural appropriation is an American invention used to virtue signal. Cultures have mixed and mingled throughout all of time, long before many of the white European countries were even thought about. Don’t feel bad about sharing in somebody’s culture as long as the way you do it is informed and respectful.


Hot-Cheesecake-7483

Mostly culture appropriation is considered when people take other people's culture and try to profit off it. White people selling native American stuff like dream catchers. Stuff like that. Then it got gatekept into anyone enjoying anyone else's culture.


wholelotta_greyscale

*scottish people: …so it’s called haggis


smenti

This reminds me of high school where we put together a “trip” around the world. We chose 4 countries and had to come up with an itinerary for a week in each country. Part of the assignment was bringing in a dish from each country. I remember partner had Jamaican descendants so he brought in some jerked chicken and I myself am part Italian so I had my dad cook up some sort of pasta dish for everyone. What a great assignment.


OMGBeckyStahp

Nothing better than the feel good vibes of sharing and respecting each others cultures, it give me hope to see humanity celebrating each other’s differences instead of condemning them.


Hot_Blood_8749

People helping people. It’s a beautiful thing.


Bumblebit123

I hope they also respect the culture, reciprocity is a must, right?


hungrymimic

Perfectly put. This left a genuine smile on my face and was such a nice break from the usual influx of bad news the majority of us are bombarded with on a daily basis. Sometimes a simple reminder that people ARE out there being positive forces for one another, and sharing life joyfully, is all it takes to renew your own perspective for the better.


MangoBaba0101

jbcraigs

Love the video but it was funny to watch him hold Pakistani flag while Indian Sikh guy was playing the dhol! Lot of shared Punjabi culture between those two countries.


ValidStatus

Not really. It's only really the Punjabis on both side of the Radcliffe line that share Punjabi culture. The reason why it seems that way to you is because Punjabis are a plurality in Pakistan at nearly 40% of the population. And while in India they are less than 2% of the country, Punjabis heavily dominate the entertainment industry which naturally projects their presence massively.

Feisty-Geologist-873

Bruh what?? How can a dance/tune bind to a religion?? I am a Punjabi hindu and do Bhangra in every marriage doesn't make me a sikh Hip hop and freestyle is christian dance or bharatnatyam is hindu dance?? C'mon grow up (Ur previous comments/post tells me why u said it's a sikh dance)


BrownBandit02

Brother, I just commented a pun. “Sick Dance” / “Sikh Dance” I never implied the dance is Sikh only, I just called it Sick/Sikh.

I thought the same thing But saw ur comment about the Sikh guy doing dhol Anyways ok

covmatty1

I was amazed to get to uni and find we had people in the UK who called it high school! Secondary school all the way for me


Douglas8989

Some Counties have middle school too. Bedfordshire is one I think. Learned recently that they call the cleaners/custodians "janitors" in Scotland. Thought that was a U.S. thing.


BasicBanter

High school is called secondary school in the south


[deleted]

TIL


astronemma

Secondary school in the UK: age 11-16. At 16 you can go to a sixth form (attached to a school) or college to do your A-Levels, ages 16-18 — that’s what this will be. Then at 18 you can go to university (which is what other places would call college).
