To me the ppl who want references to japanese culture, food, etc ain anime "localized" to "donuts" and shit sound like american imperialism or ethnonationalism. Instead of leting foreign media educate ppl into their culture, they want everything to be changed for america.
We can't let people see things from another culture than our own! that would be outrageous! and the excuse is their minds wouldn't be able to understand if a guy is eating a Bowl of something and says "this ramen is tasty" that means Ramen is a japanese food. Really? XD
To me that looks like a very cheap excuse. People seing a japanese (or whatever country the media is from) reference for the first time may not know what it is, but understand is something from their culture, and then by visualizing understand what it is. They become educated.
If you watch a spanish movie you can understand that thing called "Paella" is some kind of food with rice, you don't need it changed to "pizza" or some shit XD
