Teddy's been borrowing from black culture, maybe his next group should represent them

Quote from hammerstan

palest countries in the world

Me, a black brit, living in London that is majorly influenced by black and Caribbean culture:

Sure majority of Britain is white but to say that it's the palest country in the world is a stretch when

1. In certain cities there are very large south Asian or black communities

2. Black Genres like grime and drill are massive here

3. Reggae has a massive influence on music

4. London slang is based on patois

Sorry for the rant, I just felt like palest country is not true and it should be expected that Britain's music industry reflects it's population too - the spice girls aren't heroes for doing this (nvm the fact that the name 'scary spice' plays right into the stereotype of the "scary, sassy and loud black woman")

Again sorry for the rant lol

You definitely should, I pretty much have grown up on it. There's so much good food; jerk chicken with rice and peas, patties, ackee and saltfish, fried dumplings, curry goat etc

I usually eat it from my mum or grandma but the restaurants here are pretty good too

Quote from ultraaviolet

yep, I gain weight every time i go lol

only thing i dont like is da whether, its pretty gloomy compared to cali lol.

The weather has me unprepared. We've had heatwaves for weeks and my London self isn't built for these record breaking temperatures lol

Quote from ultraaviolet

hmm Chinese is better here for me. but I'm in silicon valley so we have some great places

The UK has some really good chinese but then some really horrible ones so I guess depends where you go or live.

In my area we finally got some Korean food on Justeat lmfao im hyped.

He's really not going to bother doing it differently when recycling works so well for him. Teddy's just going to make another blackpink + he already found his 'jennie' in ella gross. Somi dumb dumb was also like jennie solo. He's like the max martin of Kpop.

All American pop music comes primarily from American black communities in the 20 th century. That includes rock and metal by the way.

Americans exported this pop music to every corner of the planet.

Which means all modern pop music throughout the world is based on music derived primarily from black communities from the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Im the totally opposite if I had to live with the Sun 24/7 I would honestly be so depressed I like the gloom lmfao.

Mainly because the UK doesnt deal with heat well all our houses are made to contain heat and pretty much no house has AC.

Oh, if you're not into spice then caribbean food probably isn't the best idea

Some shops tame it down a bit but yeah, our cuisine is mostly spicy.

Quote from ultraaviolet

so I get panda express and cry.

Never had KBBQ yet.. Excited to try it but my mum doesnt like that type of meat.
