Organizing the Christmas dinner for this year (checking what we're eating, how many people might come, what to do if extra people show up, etc), got reminded of Swedengate and how blacks were hating on Euros and whites for not offering food to guests, etc. That's not the point I want to bring (I think the info is also wrong, of course).
Many blacks said that it was a common thing in their communities and countries for kids to expect that if they show up in a household earlier, the host had to offer them food. They were very smug about how they always have extra food and how sending kids home was rude.
I'm not Swedish, but that wasn't how I was raised. Nor is a thing down here. When we visited a friend in the morning, we were all sent back home to eat with our families and then once we're done we could come back. It depended on the host to tell us we could stay, but we had to call our parents to tell them we've been invited and they had to approve. Otherwise, you had to go home and eat with your family when your parents tell you you couldn't stay there. Or, at most, that you were invited to stay for lunch it was something prearranged.
Showing up to someone's home and expect to be fed -or that they feed your kids- is not good behavior. For starters, you don't know if the family has enough food for you, or if the family consider lunch a private matter. Not everybody has "extra food" for whatever reasons and people's habits about food are a very personal matter. My mom, for example, has a strict diet due to her age and she doesn't feel comfortable when strangers watch her eat.
Now I'm an adult, whenever I go to someone's house around lunch time (here can vary between 12pm and 3pm), I go straight to the point and I am the one saying I'm leaving and most times, I decline any invitation because I know people are just being nice. But I've seen sooo many people who delays until they subtly pressure the host to invite them to stay and eat and then they of course, accept. It's all glorification of being a freeloader.
There are more tweets, but board is acting autistic. The thing is, it was all an excuse to shit on white people food as usual (which is easy when you're Scandinavian), but at the end, seems like many didn't get the difference between inviting a guest or being in a position when you have to take care of one and showing up uninvited.
