When my wife and I moved to Alabama we were able to find astonishingly good Thai food, and the global pandemic hit Alabama far earlier than one would expect given the fact that it spread along trade routes. Turns out there's a major connection between Asia and the South. When kids went to the wars a fair number came back wives, and that created a strong connection between Asia and the South. Folks from here go to visit, and there's a strong culture of helping relatives (even by marriage) find work. Since women in those countries are often poorly educated their choices of employment are limited. Embracing the American spirit of enterprise a fair number become cooks. <br /><br />It also reminds me of a German place in Tehachapi, California. Same thing happened, more or less--the family moved to CA, and the wife put her most marketable skill to work for her. I was lucky, in that my job required me to be up early; she made everything fresh that day, and by noon it was usually sold out! It was something of an institution in the city; everyone knew to go there if you wanted really good pastries or pasties. <br /><br />Just goes to show that the Progressives are wrong. Underprivileged people can and do routinely make a living for themselves in the USA. No one looks down on these women; they are hard working industrious, providing a service, helping build the communities in the truest sense of the word, and are living embodiments of the American Dream. The fact that they are immigrants adds to, rather than detracts from, this. Dinwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06138006602385020048noreply@blogger.com
