Having to ask for chopsticks, or having asian people compliment me on how well I use them ("unlike those other barbarians!"), getting strange looks when I order food that many assume "people like me" would not eat - from chicken feet (which is kind a departure from occidental flavors so I harbor no offense) to menudo. Menudo, for fucksake. What do you mean "white people don't usually order menudo?" <B>It's soup.</B><BR/><BR/>I like soup!<BR/><BR/><BR/>(Hi, I like your blog too.)K Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694205607293601441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-83143010838122072822008-11-25T05:04:00.000-08:002008-11-25T05:04:00.000-08:00Melinda, can you please explain why you think I sh...Melinda, can you please explain why you think I should do that?macon dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-86993949831800703402008-11-24T23:11:00.000-08:002008-11-24T23:11:00.000-08:00Can you please say "white American" when you mean ...Can you please say "white American" when you mean white American?

While some non-white people may well associate certain foods with white people, white people rarely realize that, let alone feel bad about it, or disrespected by those who do it.macon dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-72362628725025190942008-11-20T19:58:00.000-08:002008-11-20T19:58:00.000-08:00My young cousin has a new friend who is half white...My young cousin has a new friend who is half white.

Certainly this is not always true, and it can be complicated by voices that speak back against this hegemony, but when you say "American" culture and really mean "white" culture, then you have your answer.[eam]https://www.blogger.com/profile/00975600733911643413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-15448741867631649122008-11-17T16:38:00.000-08:002008-11-17T16:38:00.000-08:00Kathy, if I remember right, you're white?
