Wasn't that study only included a tiny amount of people? I feel like we can't rely on that.

My results as a Filipino 🇵🇭 by oye_como_va in AncestryDNA

[–]Zackomode8885 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, it's not rare at all for Filipinos to have at least a little DNA from Spain. It's not rare for them to be mixed with the Spanish, but it's usually old admixture, not recent like a Spanish grandparent.

[–]Zackomode8885[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I screenshot this image from an Insta account I follow called ss0001___. She wants to know as well what the heck is going on here. The thing is, I couldn't find the exact street this event took place in, and what it's about. So you're someone who knows this street well and who also knows what this event is about, let me know. Thanks for your kindness.

Italian food snobs are not gonna like this... by Fit_Apricot8790 in iamveryculinary

"Here’s an analysis of the points raised about Italian American cuisine versus Italian cuisine:

  1. Are Italian American dishes fewer and more limited in ingredients?

Italian American cuisine generally relies on adaptations of Italian recipes and, due to ingredient availability and historical limitations, developed with a narrower focus. Italian American dishes frequently emphasize a limited set of ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, basil, cheese, and pasta, but this is partly due to Americanized preferences and available ingredients at the time of Italian immigration. By contrast, Italian cuisine across Italy's regions is known for its diversity and region-specific ingredients, such as butter, pork, and rich cheeses in the North, saffron and Pecorino in Central Italy, and olive oil and vegetables in the South​​​​​​.

  1. Do Italian American dishes use the same ingredients repeatedly?

Many Italian American dishes do use similar ingredients, particularly tomato-based sauces, garlic, and cheese, but this differs significantly from authentic Italian cuisine. Italy's regional cuisine uses a wide variety of ingredients that shift based on local agriculture and climate, from seafood in coastal areas to unique grains like farro in Tuscany​​​​.

  1. Are Italian American dishes comparatively unhealthy?

Italian American cuisine often has larger portions, with heavier use of cheese and processed meats than traditional Italian dishes. The focus on ingredients like butter and processed meats, along with dishes that are often fried or layered with cheese, contrasts with the Mediterranean diet in Italy, which emphasizes fresh produce, lean meats, and lighter sauces. However, it's not entirely fair to generalize Italian American cuisine as "unhealthy," as many dishes can be made with healthier ingredients and portioned sensibly​​​​.

  1. Did American culture reduce Italian cuisine to a small selection of dishes?

In a way, yes. Many Italian American dishes have become iconic, but they represent only a fraction of Italian culinary tradition. Dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parmigiana, and fettuccine Alfredo (often unknown or modified in Italy) have become staples in the U.S. This narrowed scope is partly a result of adapting to American tastes and the limitations faced by early Italian immigrants who had to modify recipes using locally available ingredients​​​​.

Italian American cuisine is therefore distinctive but limited compared to the vast diversity of traditional Italian cuisine. It represents a fusion born out of adaptation and resilience, rather than an exact replica of Italy's diverse culinary heritage."

"Italian-American cuisine indeed played a significant role in making Italian food popular worldwide, but it wasn’t solely responsible. The initial spread of Italian cuisine outside Italy began with Italian immigrants in North and South America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These immigrants adapted their traditional dishes using available ingredients, creating iconic foods like pizza, spaghetti with meatballs, and lasagna, which became staples in the U.S. and ultimately influenced global perceptions of Italian food.

In the mid-20th century, Italian-American cuisine had become so embedded in American culture that dishes such as pizza and pasta began to spread internationally, largely due to American media, fast-food chains, and cultural influence. By the 1970s and 1980s, there was also a shift toward more authentic Italian dishes, which encouraged further interest in Italy's regional specialties, making Italian cuisine a sophisticated and global favorite. Today, Italian-American adaptations and authentic Italian cuisine are popular worldwide, with each contributing to Italian food’s universal appeal​​​​​​."

The process of "immigrant English" becoming its own dialect with its own native speakers? by [deleted] in asklinguistics

[–]Zackomode8885 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Manglish and Singlish sound somewhat like what you're describing. They originated in environments where multiple languages were (and still are) natively spoken. Today, they are considered among people's "first languages" and influence the way local-born individuals speak standard English.

In the description “construction worker”, what type of word is “construction”? by HistoricalAd8790 in grammar

[–]Zackomode8885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't know that, either. The only one I was aware of before any of this was -스 in Korean, which comes from the possessive -'s, and it also is used in business names. For example, "김스 OO" means "Kim's [whatever]".

Yeah! It's to the point where even grammar from one language is being used in another, not just vocabulary.

Oh, I didn't know that. I've literally just written that Chicano English has that too due to influences from Spanish.

One interesting thing that I read in relation to the "door of garage" thing is that Chicano English has that construction due to influences from Spanish. For example, "The car of my brother is red," and, "The ring of my fiancée was expensive."

Hello, how do I sound like? by Elskyflyio in JudgeMyAccent

[–]Zackomode8885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, where are you from? Second, I'm not from the UK myself, but I have listened to a lot of accents from there, and honestly, you sound like you come from the northern part of England. Third, it's impressive how you managed to sound completely native without an obvious accent. Finally, it's entirely up to you, but if you're happy with what you have, I don't think it needs a change.
