I’ve had sushi just as good in Vancouver as it was in Japan for sure. The ceiling might not be higher in Japan, The big difference is the floor is way higher. For a 20$ blue fin in Tokyo fish market, for the same amount and quality it would’ve probably cost me like 150-200$ in Vancouver from a fancy restaurant. This was just a store at a fish market.

Don't worry thats a common stereotype used by the english for us so I assume that's where it originates. Scrooge Mcduck is based on the stereotype not the other way round.
There’s no way us Scottish folks make jokes about the Irish the most. There’s literally a long running tradition of us hating the English that just seems to get passed down the generations for seemingly no reason whatsoever

But for real tho long covid is real and it is devastating for the people who have it. Imagine if doing any sort of physical activity (including taking a shower or doing the laundry) made you feel the sickest you’ve ever been for hours days or even days afterwards, and the only way to manage your symptoms is to just do as little as possible, even if you used to be athletic and love exercise before getting sick.

RE: the PF Chang's thing. It's definitely a second-gen immigrant thing. When you're first-gen immigrant eg. Chinese, you grew up speaking Chinese and steeped in Chinese culture. Your Chinese identity is so ingrained in yourself it's taken for granted. Second-gen Chinese-Americans who grew up in American culture and were perhaps encouraged by their parents to assimilate have a more distant, second-hand relationship with their ancestral culture and therefore are more self-consciously performative about connecting with Chinese culture. It's more easy to be absolutist and gatekeepy about the culture of your people when you don't actually engage with it on a daily basis and experience first-hand the kind of transformative synthesis and compromise that happens on a regular ongoing basis in every culture. I see this dynamic with my extended family a lot. The most westernized ones are always the most strident about things like authenticity and cultural appropriation. It's just internalized orientalism.

Scottish jokes here (Hungary) are pretty old now and you don't really here it in everyday use anymore, but it's true that they were very popular and embodied the very cheap people stereotype. But I'm pretty sure we joke much more about Romanians now.
Look ok, I like pasta, I like tomato sauce and just generally pasta sauce, I am okay on meatballs, but I don't like spaghetti. I can't tell you why-I can't explain it, but I don't like it.
Speaking as someone who thinks about Troy all the time, yeah it's definitely overrated. It was just a big deal when it came out, so people have nostalgia for it and talk it up.
cromulent is a made up word that means " acceptable " it was invented in an episode of " The Simpsons, where it was used to describe the word " embiggen " another made up word by the show. Both appear in the dictionary
With the Chinese food clip, i think it has more to do with the older generation just being happy that people are wanting to learn how to make Chinese food. Even if it’s not authentic, they are trying and they find humility in it. While for millennials they have seen how racist people have been towards their parents for being immigrants or not “American” or “Canadian” and so when they see these corporations wanting to make “authentic” food they get mad and critique it. Which as a first generation Latino Canadian, I 100% understand where that’s coming from.
You are really overthinking it. Most well-adjusted non-terminally-online people are not so overprotective and nationalistic about their country's food. They don't mind other countries adapting and being influenced by it. Just look at how nearly all Indian restaurants in the UK are run by Indians yet they still serve British-Indian dishes like tikka masala, because it's just a good dish.
@@slynt_ It reminds me of when the Ghost of Tsushima team did the performance where the guy plays a special type of flute and people were mad he was white. It's this weird "safe racism" that terminally online people possess where they think people outside their culture sphere couldn't POSSIBLY ever understand or respect their culture despite themselves never really having much interaction with it aside from their childhood.
@@slynt_ not true??? food and sports are the two like most common things for people to be nationalistic and overprotective over also those are run by British Indians lol
Like so many other things food has been commodified in a low effort/ orientalist way. "Authentic" then becomes a signifier for reconnecting with your roots (for descendants of immigrants) and wanting more than a commercial experience. The average person certainly won't think about/ articulate it that way, but if everyone knew why they act the way they do the humanities would just be common sense instead of academia
