I recently read something about a person's first Thanksgiving with white people. At first, it just seems like the speaker is just talking about his whims about food. Then he moves past that and discusses diversity beyond food in every aspect of life.
He viewed the white people's food as unacceptable because she wasn't used to it. He was unaccustomed to things like potato salad. It just seemed weird to her at first. But he was eventually able to overlook the difference and taste it. And he eventually found out that it wasn't that bad. He even liked it.
He then moves on to discuss her cultural adaption in which she realized that people are people regardless of whether they're from her culture. He discovered that black people aren't the only ones who cook soul food.
The big thing he learned is this: diversity in culture is not to be shunned; it is to be celebrated. Instead of looking at differences as a means dividing, we should look at them as something that can unite us. Where is the spice of life without the diversity of cultures?
The big thing the speaker in this essay learned was to be open-minded. As he realized that foods he had never tasted could taste good, he realized that many other aspects of foreign cultures are desirable and interesting. So, be thankful for diversity.
