The crazies on twitter got upset that a character named after an actual Shinto goddess (Izanami) spelled backwards reads I'm a nazi. Clown world

Americans need to stop, we look bad enough on the world stage already with all the bs our politicians do and the nonsense being shoveled out in our schools, don't need to go into insulting other cultures because we don't like the way their deities are spelled when it's done phonetically in a language that is not terribly compatible with the first one.

Then again.

It's not like these people care about anything other than virtue signaling.

Why bother with looking anything up if you can just be wrong and get angry instead?

For the record "Ashkenazi" indicates a ethnically Jewish person of European heritage, Think they're the largest group by population might be wrong tho. Sephardic is another branch in Europe, they're mostly in the Iberian Peninsula area, or were I don't know where the populations have gotten off to currently.

If I were to host a dinner party, it would be with an incredibly restrictive guest list.

I would hope any theoretical guests behave themselves enough to wait for dinner to be served before picking at things.

Either way, while I do appreciate that this is actually a suggestion for once, it is not the kind of suggestion that belongs in the box.

Merry Christmas from Kiku!!! She's celebrating Christmas the traditional Japanese way - with a bucket of KFC and strawberry cake! The KFC Christmas craze began in Japan in the 1970s when the manager of the very first KFC in the country is rumored to have embellished the fact that eating chicken on Christmas is an American custom. Still others say that homesick foreigners in Japan sparked the popularity of the chain, citing chicken as a good substitute for our traditional turkey meal. Whatever the reason, KFC is "the" food to eat for Christmas in Japan!

In terms of dessert, the Japanese strawberry shortcake, aka the Japanese Christmas cake, is where it's at! It's made with soft, fluffy sponge cake, decorated with fresh whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. The strawberry sponge cake is not overly sweet and is filled with fresh fruit. Asian sponge cakes are usually frosted with fresh whipped cream instead of buttercream.

So there's your cultural lesson for the day. Happy holidays, and whatever meal you may be indulging in, enjoy!
