Is a Shawarma shop asian because the middle east is in asia. How about Afghan food, it is solidly central asia. Is sri lankan asian how about indonesian or malay? Indian?
I mean I think all these are asian it would just feel inappropriate if this ended up with only east asian places labeled as asian. Why not just use the country's name? I hope Googlers know "asian" isn't a race outside of "social construct" regional similarities in cuisine hower exist so maybe southeast-asian but I would prefer to know what country. Are they serving kimchi for sure or nah??
- themodelplumber 4y agoCountry is awkward too. Like I know a Japanese place owned by a Korean guy who has Vietnamese staff. Food is delicious
- mc32 4y agoSimilarly taco joint owned by a “Korean” man. Food is Mexican owner is American but of Asian ancestry…
- _8j50 4y agoI only thought of the cuisine they served not who owns it or works there. Why would I care about that?
- themodelplumber 4y agoYou can't think of a reason? For example: You bring your friend there, they are from that country, they try their language, it doesn't work, embarrassing moment for everybody. And about 1000 other reasons.
- _8j50 4y agoThey should use the local language? English in US cities that is. How else do they get busienss in the local economy??
- themodelplumber 4y agoI don't think you understood the point.
- _8j50 4y agoYou're probably right, I concede.
