dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I understand you're just making up a guy to get mad at, but it's hard to blame individuals for being unaware and uninformed about cuisine that's likely only available hundreds of miles away from their home

Not really tho. Literally every westoid has the internet

It's not really a food issue either, it's a literally everything about China-India-Africa issue. And I actually don't give a shit if mayos know anything about us, but I need them to stop having strong opinions and making harsh value judgements about stuff they have literally a toddler's understanding of (impossible I know)

I also netted dozens of downvotes on reddit-logo once because I questioned if leaving the lobster vein in might be a New England thing (because literally 3 restaurants in Boston did that to me). They were literally frothing, while the same interaction reversed takes place all the time and the POC just expect the ignorance (some of them are even ignorant of it themselves)

just like there is no monolithic "Chinese Food" or "Indian Food," there is no "French Food" or "Italian Food."

Uh, no. Chinese food is not analogous to French food. It's analogous to European food. Bengali food, or Sichuanese food, is analagous to French food.
