Have you thought that perhaps they emphasize playing with LEGO and NES games and tone down their culture to "cute inoffensive cosmetic and dietary preferences" because they code switch to fit in?
- coldtea 10y agoYes, but that's orthogonal, since my critique is to the other side. If anything, it furthers my point. That the other side (let's say "whites") is all about diversity as long as the ethnic others have the same cultural norms and aspirations as them in most areas, except some cutesy details.
