Yes, this is common and irritating!

The sarcasm bomb was probably unnecessary and I apologize, but I wasn't expecting to find in a thread of (mostly pop culture) that people avoid out of _spite_ to find someone say "food from the other half of the planet". But it helped to imagine you just Ron Swansoning or whatever.

Absolutely 100% with you on this one. Everybody flips the fuck out over ethnics and their weird-ass alien food. What's so goddamn wrong with the food white people invented, amirite?
