Thrive to spite them
But people will still say things like "I don't like ethnic food," which is a ridiculous statement unless the person saying it thinks all ethnic foods are alike.
I did work with a girl (long time ago) who would only eat "American food". Which was hard for met to wrap my head around, I think she considered pizza American enough, but she wouldn't eat lasagna or spaghetti. If she ate at a "non American" place she'd usually get chicken fingers.
Then I also knew a lady who ate very limited and she'd eat at most restaurants but there was usually only 1 item she'd eat. Like only sweet and sour chicken, or only a philly cheese steak. Depending on the place.

Figured out where my hostal is. And it turns out a huge crew of Bayern fans in town is staying at the one opposite it. Thank god that game is over tonight. They were having a huge raucous rally in the plaza. Now, I know the plaza is raucous anyway, so Sat/Sun nights should be interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think of "ethnic food" as "food associated with a specific culture."
The thing that's problematic about that is it makes your own culture the default of being, and not an actual culture, which it is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Uhm.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This makes so much more sense. I was worried about all the horrible things being said!
The thing that's problematic about that is it makes your own culture the default of being, and not an actual culture, which it is.
I wonder if this is mostly an American issue what with the melting pot and all. If you're in France, is it problematic to think of a taco as ethnic food? Wouldn't French food be your default? If you're an old school North End Boston resident, marinara might be your default and boiled dinner is ethnic.
We're supposed to absorb other cultures and add their stuff in to our experience. Like food Borg.
I got a nice note from an Angel writer who just read Vampire People.
Do you guys feel a little off-kilter about the huge amount of major press Joss is getting? I keep reading stuff about him and thinking, "yo, that's not how it was at all."
I read a thing yesterday that said we crowdsourced funds for the Firefly ad.
And I was all, "you know, Back yonder in mah day, we called it a "collection." We didn't have any of your fancy crowdsourcing sort of new fangled jargon."
Now I feel really old.
