- spoonjim 6y agoApple is well-known as the whitest tech company in leadership roles, it’s entirely possible they did but never noticed.
- samatman 6y agoThe idea that Apple engineers, no matter how "white", never searched for Asian food in Cupertino, strains credibility to the breaking point.
- ripdog 6y agoWhy would you search for 'asian' food? You'd search for japanese, chinese, korean, vietnamese...
- viraptor 6y agoBecause there are many similarities and if you like 4 of the listed ones, searching for an Asian restaurant gives you more options to browse without searching for a specific thing.
- thaumasiotes 6y ago> Because there are many similarities This just isn't true.
- viraptor 6y agoWhat would you call all 4 featuring noodle dishes, curries over rice, ramen-like dishes, etc.? Sounds like a similarity to me.
- thaumasiotes 6y agoI'd call that "you went to a restaurant offering Asian Fusion cuisine and confused it with a Korean restaurant". I've been in Korean restaurants where I would have leapt at the chance to order ramen; it's not something you can do. (I loathe and despise Korean food, but I was working for a Korean guy...) We can also note that you seem to be including a lot of European food, like risotto, in the category of "Asian food".
- viraptor 6y agoYou can a acknowledge the similarity of ristto dishes to curry over rice and at the same time say it's more different than Indian and Japanese curry is similar. Let's not kill all the nuance. And sure, you won't find ramen in Korean cuisine, which is why I wrote ramen-like. You'll find noodle soups though, like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janchi-guksu https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janchi-guksu
- lokedhs 6y agoI was annoyed by the expression myself, wondering why one would group Japanese and Thai cuisines in the same group. Then I noted that here in Singapore you often find "western" restaurants, which serves the stereotypical western style cuisine. So I guess this happens a lot more than you might think initially.
- spoonjim 6y agoThere are similarities. Use of rice noodles, peanuts, soy sauce, fermented fish sauces, etc.
- thaumasiotes 6y agoWhat ripdog said. There's another comment upthread suggesting that searching for "Asian restaurants near me" would be a logical thing for someone to do, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. "Asian restaurants" are a category no more useful than "restaurants".
- mikestew 6y agoThis white boy from the Midwest has never searched for "Asian food" in Cupertino or anywhere else. I have, though, frequently searched for Thai, Indian, Japanese, Chinese... (And I see that I've been...not exactly ninja'ed, I guess, if I switch back to answer email before finishing my HN reply.)
- samatman 6y agoOk, everyone saying the same thing: have you ever... been to Cupertino? https://www.google.com/search?q=asian+fusion+cupertino https://www.google.com/search?q=asian+fusion+cupertino
- worker767424 6y agoIt more likely has to do with Apple's secrecy.
- eznzt 6y agoYou assume that if there were more asians working at apple this wouldn't have happened. Do you think asians spend all day searching for "asian" on google? How many times did you search for your race on google last year?
- spoonjim 6y agoI have no idea, but way more than 0 or even 10.
- Veen 6y agoStatistically, they're more likely to be searching for "asian" in an adult context then.
- worker767424 6y agoI'd love to read the memo asking employees to report back their porn viewing habits.
