The argument that "I like immigrants, but don't let them change our culture" has been around for a long time. They'd say that about Italians, and now I can find a pizza place all over town. Seems like they can change it for the better to me.
Tomato's aren't native to Italy
Correct. There was a back and forth movement of culture. Tomatoes were sent out, then they put them in pizza, then their immigrants came over with the pizzas. The world is a melting pot of cultures.
Edit: maybe "sent out" is too nice of a term though. The process is messy and complex. Ugly at times
Wait... Are you saying tomatoes are an immigrant too?!
They should be put in prison
And you really got the hang of them. I want to come back to Italy for the food and people. Mostly the food though.
