It's not racist. In fact, I think a bunch of white people trying to make ethnic food is cultural appropriation, espeically when they haven't been to that particular country. That's racism. When you try to pass shit off as your own but you've never been outside of Maine.

I feel like we’re all present at the birth of a new Reddit copypasta

Uh oh - they’re back with a new but same poll. Transplant, here!

There is a new invention. I believe it's called the In-ter-net that allows you to order things from all over the world! And most fresh ingredients are available locally.

People don't hate me. Thanks.

The best takoyaki and udon I’ve had was just outside Tsukiji in Tokyo. Followed by the little inn during cherry blossom festival in Kakunodate.

In NYC go to East 9th street and there’s a little standing room only joint where they make the takoyaki fresh in front of you and the bonito flakes just curl and dance until you eat ‘em!

In Portland, I’ve found that there’s really only one place to go to get anything approaching a decent takoyaki and slurpable udon broth.

And fuck me if I’ll tell you where, I’d rather you go look in NYC.

Or further.

Oh, yes! Here's a translation:

We know that most of our food isn't authentic, but we don't care because the lack of ethnic diversity in Maine is embarassing! Don't mention it, it's a sore subject!!!

Damn that is a super racist, terrible take.

This is why people hate you.

Lack of Asian markets make it difficult, actually. There isn't a proper Japanese market here.

You're a snobby essentialist asshole and we don't like that around here

Learn to cook? Make your own?

Behave like what exactly? Are you getting offended because I want authentic food? Seriously?!

LOL. Is this for real? If you behave like this in public, I can hazard a guess at why you have a bad time at restaurants.

No fucking soup for you! Ass

I don't say this very often, but go the fuck home you gaping asshole.

Edit: Gaping Bigoted Asshole. Leave.

I’m none of your fucking business bub.

Ah...I kind of figured it was a suicide attempt to some degree or another. My apologies for your loss.
