even if they got the culture where the food is from wrong. you could have just corrected them nicely instead of attacking lol not everyone recognizes the differences, and by the logic you are presenting if you can't tell all european countries' cuisine apart you are racist. or middle eastern cuisine. but that's not how that works now is it?
Tbh I understood it more as East Asian cultures being healthier than western world cultures which I agree to. Idk if the original comment was confused between Korean and Japanese food. Wouldn't be surprised since I see comments all the time confusing manhwas with mangas and vice versa. Regardless of the intentions of the original comment, I understand what you're saying and you have every right to be upset. I'm sorry.
Please don't let others and their buzzword slinging idiocy keep you from stating your opinions, my dear. These people are the problem, not you getting the origin of food right.
Racism has literally nothing to do with what happened in this thread, so you have nothing to worry or apologize for. Ignorance (in this case about the origin of an object) does not equal racism.
Don't let this toxic type of mindset cripple your human interactions. It's unhealthy to say the least.
And everybody can state their opinions or share thoughts. If those things happen to be uneducated or based on false knowledge there is the option of educating that person instead of being rude and judgemental about it (you know, like a normal human adult would do: talk and explain instead of insulting).
You have done nothing wrong here. Getting things wrong happens. And not knowing the origin of food isn't something bad either, certainly not racist or rude.
Noo don't stop sharing your opinions, you did nothing wrong, just some people that accused you of racism, it happened to me too the other day being told I was racist just bcs I said (with pure honesty with no under meaning) that leopards are exotic animals. Long story short people accused me the same while others helped me knowing that I didn't phrase it right instead of callin me racist.
(Lmao I'm speaking more about me here-)
The point is don't let others pressure u, continue commenting what u want, the ppl who made those rude remarks (If I may say so) probably had a bad day or smth else or their mindset probably bursted and took it on you, humans are not perfect THEY CAN'T KNOW EVERYTHING FROM DNA TO FOOD CULTURE TO THE MINIMAL DETAILS so rest assured dear :)
This just turned into a chain of debates, we're not on place to judge ppl from just what they write (unless you know how to read minds ur free to do whatever)
I'm sorry that person reacted the way they did, it was very excessive and they could have asked you to clarify what you meant instead of getting so worked up and assuming something deeper about what you said :/ you have a completely fair point, both japanese and Korean food often look better and healthier than western food (imo) but then again they've got their fried and fatty food fixes too haha (like chimaek, hotteok, and okonomiyaki ). Often more veggies included tho. And usually colorized stories are either Korean or Chinese tho, and most of more popular ones seem to be Korean these days. I hope you get a chance to try lots more Korean and Japanese food in the future!! ^^ and have a lovely day! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
I dont know if u live in America but we are a western country with some of the highest obestiy levels worldwide. Alot of our people dont eat healthy and if you look up the obesity map on https://obesity.procon.org/global-obesity-levels/
I had to look up korea separate but its still pretty liw and china and japan are both placed after 130 while america is in the 12 and canada is 26.
Why is everyone getting triggered just because OP said that Japanese food looks better? You're seriously going to get mad? Oh shit, look I have a preference when it comes to food, I must be racist. Stop finding things to be triggered about when it's not even racist, it's just food preference. Some of you are dumb af and it shows ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Bruh you're dumb af. It's food preference, not like OP is saying Japanese people are superior or some shit. Honestly you're just looking to get triggered.
I can look at a food and say if it looks healthy or unhealthy, doesn't mean I'm attacking someone's culture. Clearly OP isn't attacking someone's culture.
Why don't you sit your ass down and stop trying to downplay the meaning of racism. Imma call you stupid for speaking up and you say stupid shit. Fucking unbelievable that you just pick and choose when to be offended.
I'm Puerto Rican and I get mad when ppl think I'm Mexican. Hell, I got mad when someone assumed tortillas were part of my culture. Mixing up Japanese and Korean cultures is definitely offensive even if it was done innocently. Racism is fueled by ignorance after all. Is like how some people assume all Latinos are Mexican or all East Asians are Chinese. Doesn't matter if you don't agree with how the person reacted or how they expressed themselves. They had the right to be offended. Ganging up on a person doesn't really help especially if you're not trying to reason where they're coming from.
And ya gotta admit that making a pro Japanese cuisine statement when the chapter was discussing Korean cuisine can rub someone the wrong way. I know the OP meant mixed up the two cultures but if you didn't see that it would be kinda like if you're in a Korea appreciation event and then someone's like "yeah, well the Japanese have real good food". Feels like trying to put the other culture down .
Why is Japanese food always so much better, it even looks healthier. Lol just me anyone?
