i wish people would stop being so judgy of Chinese American food just bc it& #39;s not "authentic" bc come on. it& #39;s still the product of the effort of Chinese Americans. it& #39;s still delicious in its own way. it has history longer than some countries. and it pioneered take out food https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😣" title="Standhaftes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Standhaftes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand">

i think it& #39;s common enough knowledge by now that Chinese American food doesn& #39;t reflect cuisine in China. and it shouldn& #39;t matter that it doesn& #39;t because why be so pretentious about food lol
