America struggles by its contradictions. I strive to be an American like Paine and Bourdain, but their opposites are also iconically American. There is something beautiful and redeemable about our country, and we should fight for that.
It’s also important to welcome folks to break bread and eat mashed potatoes with us. If we love our culture why would we not proudly share it with those interested in trying aspects of it. Why would we not be willing to let people try to tweak it and find even better ways it can be.
One of the Vietnamese guys at work gave me a little half length banana from the "far East" which tasted vaguely like a Kiwi.
Well-said
