French fries aren’t from France, so that’s not the only example of Americans making that sort of mistake.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed in 1943.

He said it wasn’t an example of “cancel culture”, and as far as I know he wasn’t in any danger of being “cancelled” in a way that would force him to apologize.

Who wasn’t making Lewinsky jokes back then?

I think of it as just a cultural oddity. I imagine they make jokes about American food; even Americans make plenty of jokes about the crap we eat.

A few years ago there was a Newswire about how A Dog’s Purpose was getting a sequel partly because of how well it did in China, and I and some other commenters made hacky jokes about Chinese people eating dogs.

Huh, I actually know Derek Sheen.

I think if someone isn’t specific enough in their allegations, even if they’re telling the truth it’s still kinda their fault for people not believing them.

Being live has its benefits as far as staying in the zeitgeist.

I haven’t seen The A.V. Club mention that The Simpsons was just renewed for two more seasons.
