Interesting, I had never associated providing lunch with race. Out of curiosity, is there any non-Caucasian out there who would host a birthday party without serving food/meal? Now that I think about it, I can't imagine any Asian family every thinking you can host a party without food (I'm Asian). Not as sure about other races.

White people are such stingy hosts.

Not if it's at a venue that does 1 hour of fun then 30 mins on the party room..... I would feed my kid before.

I'd read the invitation to see what it says. If it says "cake and refreshments served" I would not expect lunch. If it says "pizza and cake" I'd expect lunch.

Yes, definitely. Unless you state otherwise I would assume there would be food.

I love that. It is a good motto.

Exactly!

Yes, unless the invitation said it wouldn't be.
