@grumbulon Chinese Restaurants are appropriation. They don't sell Chinese food there, they sell Chinese-American food where the Chinese immigrants took American cooking techniques and foods and created a new cooking style.

@coyote @grumbulon Absolutely isn't evil. Honestly, the whole "cultural appropriation as evil" thing is actually racist nonsense made by people who are looking to be mad about things that aren't worth being mad about.
I can 100% guarantee that the Korean family running the Chinese food restaurant didn't build their shop thinking that 95% of customers should be excluded, and I'm certain that if some white idiot came in and started trying to chase off all their non-Chinese customers the cops would be called pretty quickly. The point of opening the restaurant was to make money from anyone who wants Chinese food.
It's a philosophy that can only lead to the opposite of what anyone who wants progress would want -- a ghettoization of culture and an isolation of different people from different things just because someone with a different skin color discovered or invented it.
