Kick ass.
Omg, WHAT is going on with me? I keep on doing cringeworthy stuff at school ugh...I still can't believe I did certain things...why in the world did I do that? Why did I act that way? Why did I say that? ;-; I hope some people aren't mad at me...
lol how am I overreacting? I just think you're immature I'm not rly mad about it? and not really. unless food is made terribly I don't find any cultures' foods disgusting. I mean unless you're a cannibal I really have no opinions on the foods people eat. it might be something I'd prefer not to eat (e.g., insects) but do I think it's gross?? not rly. the history behind why people eat certain things is fascinating and not disgusting just bc it may be something I'm not accustomed to

the title of the thread literally has "disgusting" in it. I'm not saying they're generalizing to an entire culture but that food IS very common in certain cultures and I think it's just in bad taste when people label something like that as disgusting. not to mention the number of people who replied saying its "horrible" and "appalling" and "why would anyone eat that?" I totally understand if you find it unappealing but I've always disliked when people have to slam foods like that. it just carries this implication that the people who do eat said food are some kind of crazy to have to eat that.

Not necessarily. I have a pen pal who lives in Vietnam came over in the us to meet. She told me that she never had a hamburger before and I had her try one an she told me that it looked weird, unappealing, and why would I eat that? After awhile she finally tried it and kinda liked it. I live in family with many diversites and always let me try something new. I think it's more of a implication that it's forgein and not mostly of a "wow that culture eats that" without entirely acknowledging that what they eat is entirely different than what I eat. Hell the egg probably tastes like chicken(lmao). Also take note that the majority of the people here are kids or just weird adults. Don't take them seriously.
perhaps it doesn't to you, but it does to other people, which includes me. I guess different experiences give you different impressions about the way people decide to word things, but rather than saying such emotionally charged, negative words, it's preferable if they'd learn to be more open minded about it. and if anything, that's why I wanted to say something. and that's funny you say that because I'm Vietnamese and I'm surprised she thought it was weird? I wonder what part she was from because they have fast food chains in Vietnam (like McDonald's) so I'm not sure why a hamburger would be so out of the ordinary. I think there's also a difference between someone from the US saying foods from somewhere else are disgusting vs. foreigners saying that about American food since I feel like American food is so widespread? but it's distasteful any way you spin it imo

Aha I guess. She's from Bi?n H?a. Not sure if that's how it's spelled. I haven't talk to her in a month due from all these test this semester. I think that statment can swing both ways. I also have a relative who lives in Japan and would come over during the holidays to tell me more about their culture there since I really want to go there. Since he's not Asian and is currently living in a xenophobic society he sometimes get discriminated against. He recalls working in his office and hearing a fellow citizen speaking to another coworker in how the western world is so backwards. There was also a comment about his nose because if you're sick you're supposed to wear a mask and since he was still learning one guy told him to put a mask on while another said it was okay because he has a European nose. But that was off topic aha. I think any type of negativity can work in both ways but I think that's mostly due to my experience so I can't really say much but I do respect your opinion.
It was also a vegetarian burger with shrimp in it.

I have to go to my sisters' house for dinner today which I thought was cool before I realized they invited all their damn work friends again too, I don't know any of them and my sisters literally just talk to them the whole time I'm there like why did yall even ask me over. Sometimes I swear it's just to make me babysit.
