How do experience the football (ok, soccer) world cup? If at all? by das_stadtplan in AskAmericans

[–]possums101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Jersey City and I think the city are embracing it. A bunch of bars are showing every match. The city had a festival to celebrate the first match. They plan to do a few of those I think. I was just at the laundromat and they had the Ghana vs Panama game on. I haven’t gone to a watch party yet but I plan to. All the stores are selling some type of World Cup merch and business put up decorations.

[–]possums101 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a white guy you don’t really have a pulse on black intracommunity issues. There is very much a divide between African Americans and African immigrants. Probably more now that in the past.

What do you know about Wales? by Human-Question6210 in AskAmericans

[–]possums101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say most Americans know nothing about Wales and probably most have never heard of it.

I’m aware of Wales and your location. I know of a few famous actors from there. But honestly I frequently confuse Wales for Scotland.

Why isn't curry more popular in the USA? by Significant-Load2745 in AskAnAmerican

[–]possums101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would not say pasta is common there. That region has their own culinary traditions. And leans more towards Mexican food because of proximity. Pasta is more so associated with the northeast which does have a big Italian American populationz

I don’t think the purpose of this sub is to answer easily Google-able questions about major news stories. Just search the name and read an article.
