Potatoes, tomatoes, cocoa, coffee, pasta, peppers, tea, nearly every form of cooking spice; all this shit that Europeans and North Americans claim as culinary cultural heritage are actually ideas that were taken/repurposed from another country/culture/region.

But that's okay, just dont be a racist bigot about it, is all.

Europeans aren't native to Europe either.

You could argue that there are no native people or orginal cultures besides the once in east Africa. Everything else evolved form there.
