Comment on Mamma mia
Would you mind telling me why you are offended by this?
Because it plays on harmful stereotypes.
How is this even a question?
Just how is “I cooka da meatball” harmful?
It kinda contributes to the derogatory stereotypes that are already quite widespread in certain cultures about Italians, i.e., uneducated people who can’t speak a language and talk like super mario and whose life is basically about food.
I highly respect Italians for their delicious food. I have never heard of someone making fun of Italians for that.
