Re: Dumb shit your classmates/friends/coworkers say?

DA

I don't think that's comparable. You loving a foreign food is different from a foreigner assuming that everything in their country originated from their country.

It would be comparable if it was a Japanese person asking "do Americans eat corn on the cob too?" and it's like where do you think the it came from WTF.

Uhhh my roommate was working with the assumption that foreigners couldn't and wouldn't eat such a "Japanese" food. It's related. I at no point asserted it was the same. In fact I said "on the flip side of that" to demonstrate they are related but not the same concept.

My point was considering the very tiny ratio of non-Japanese that enjoy natto it isn't actually weird to be surprised. I'd say it's a reasonable reaction, like a Filipino person being surprised a Westerner enjoys balut.

A lot of people in general don't like natto. The fact that I like it isn't what she's surprised at, it's that I'm not Japanese therefore I shouldn't be able to like it at all. It's like brusselsprouts. Would you tell someone that they wouldn't be able to eat it and wouldn't enjoy it because of their ethnic ancestry? Do you see my point there?

Maybe I should have just gone with the number of people who think that because I'm obviously not Japanese that I can't use chopsticks. But my point was to relate a Japanese food based anecdote. And now this has become really boring and pedantic.

Jumping to this new topic, that happens to me SO MUCH, anon. SO MUCH. I've been in Japan for two years and change and it still happens basically any time I meet a new Japanese person.

And yeah, I get what you mean on the natto thing, too. I do hate natto but it's not because I'm American, it's because natto is fucking gross to me. I also hate bell peppers and that ain't because I'm white!

I'm honestly (albeit briefly) surprised whenever I meet a non-Australian who likes Vegemite? It might be an acquired taste thing - most Australians are raised eating Vegemite from a really young age, so when someone tries it for the first time, often it's too overwhelmingly salty. The roommate might have assumed that natto is another acquired taste, so it'd be incredibly rare to find a non-Japanese person who likes it.
