I would also like to add that as far as the colonialism/racism aspect of it goes, I don't think being educated enough to just say "chai" has any impact at all on anything and white people who clearly think it does annoy me *more* than other white people YMMVhttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1331127083796336641 …

At some level I hope you someday realize that circumstances of birth aren't vices or virtues, and that somewhere in even your rigidly stratified vision of worth via charactersticism there is a place for the invidual experience.

Isn't the blushing the first step between one and two? I mean, I don't mind the "fusion food" guy, but I take some issue with the people trying to do something authentic, botching it and then being angry when called out (cue every British cook ever, by the way).

I will say that I'm less annoyed by the first example because they typically react to being corrected with interest and curiosity. I've been in some truly cringe-worthy conversations with activists. Not all of them white, either.

This makes me think of those ppl who have a neck spasm trying to wrap their very Anglo throats around a Baghdad, or Tehran, or Doha, but never do the same for a Rome, Budapest, or Kyiv Only places with certain skin tones get the hyper-accented treatment, and its weird/creepy
