does anyone else ever spiral about how the “authentic” ethnic food movement in america was started by wealthy white men who had access to international travel in response to the “shitty” ethnic food in america made by immigrants who were actually forced to make the “inauthentic”
version because they were immigrants and had to cater to racist white peoples palettes (a lot of who were the parents of formerly mentioned rich white male chefs) and then the authentic rich white men made entire careers around how shitty “american” ethnic food is
and then made poc who were in their country because of political unrest and honestly never gaf about if their pad thai was “northern inspired” or “southern inspired” because their entire family died in a genocide- they made those people feel like shit for using msg and then they
opened a restaurant called “ramen place” or some shit and got a james beard award.. does anyone else ever spiral about this chain of events that happened 10 thousand times in america? anyone spiral about this? i order from restaurants like this all the time and i enjoy it
