First, I resent your caricature of Chinese food. The most 'exotic' dish commonly eaten might be eggplant and chicken over rice - certainly not 'fish eyes and scorpions'! Heck, only Hong Kong-style dim sum places offer chicken feet, the most common dish that you named. Second, you completely miss the intent of the parent poster. Having more Chinese from the mainland/HK/TW means more authentic food. It doesn't necessarily mean less Kung Pao or General Tso's, it just means you'll have more competition for 'authentic/specialty' foods.
