The comments on this AITA post piss me off because people keep saying "oh, it& #39;s not a cultural issue, it& #39;s a smell issue!"

If that& #39;s the case then how come people eat pizzas, pastas, and salads with cheese on them during lunch? Cheese is stinky as HELL https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/jeoq1e/aita_for_playing_the_race_card_when_its_not_about/">https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheA...

Let& #39;s not act like how people react to smells of foods isn& #39;t implicitly rooted in their cultural biases

In-n-out burgers have the smelliest sauce on them ever and it lingers on your fingers all day but no one ever explicitly bans them from communal settings.

And let& #39;s be real - most foods SMELL. Even the most milquetoast white foods have a distinct smell. You don& #39;t think the lunchmeats and vinegar soaked pickles in your food don& #39;t smell? Like... honestly get over it?

Like there are certain foods I& #39;d never bring to an office type setting (like 청국장 which is pretty stinky even for Koreans) but kimchi smell is about as offensive as cheese smell. White people just don& #39;t think cheese smell is bad whenever they eat something with it during lunch.
