of rDrama's Tea Party
I'm sure you've all experienced this growing up. Mom says you can have friends over to play vidya in your undies.
Your cupboards are stacked but that's not the point.
Jamal brings Doritos and dew.
Poor white Jim hands a bag of snacks to your mother and says "My mom told me to give this to you."
Middle class Kaycee brings cupcakes for the bois.
John, from a divorced household where his father owns an IT company, brings sweet frickall.

Their parents assume little timmy isn't going to a poorcel household where they can't afford 4 bags of chips and a 2l coke.
So the correct question is, why are you poor?

I grew up African poor, your flair says Eastern Europoor. At least our supermarkets had food on the shelves.

Well what's your excuse then? Here it's common decency that if you invite someone over, you will feed them and don't expect anyone to bring their own snacks.
(Also seriousposting, but as much as I hate unironic commies burgers have no idea about EE either. Hungary never actually had breadlines, by the 70s obesity was an epidemic and I was born long after '89 anyways. The system was shit but it was only really bad in the Soviet Union and the ruskies deserved it anyways)

It's not about having people feed themselves. Our house always had more than enough food or snacks. It's just a cultural thing to bring something over to your friend's house when you're young (at least where I'm from.) Kinda like bringing a bottle of wine to a dinner party. It's not that your hosts don't have wine of their own. Humans have bonded socially over food for ages. Potlucks aren't done because people don't have enough food to make a complete meal. It's not hard to understand.

Then this is another example of inferior american "culture".
Just feed your guests neighbor (I can say this word because eastern europeans are NOT white![:marseythumbsup:]( ":marseythumbsup:")
