Not only that but most of their criticism seemed to be over the quality of the food. It was a bunch of rich kids mad that their school cafeteria isn't as good as the $100/plate place back home.

It's not as authentic as the rice bowls Toshi makes at the sushi bar in soho, what is this white nonsense?

White people can't make good food.

They can only take a trip to some other country on their parents money, eat some cultural dish once, then incorrectly think that they can make the same stuff as well, so they come home to start a ramen shop or whatever in some rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, churn out an overpriced disgusting knockoff and ramble about the "artistry" oblivious to the fact that thier implementation is devoid of charm until either they go under or get bored with it and move on to the next thing.

This usually happens in waves of whatever the fad of the time is, so any attempt by actual people of said culture to serve the same thing is either blocked out cause there's already 80 white hipster joints catering to specific time sensitive taste of urbanites or left to scrap for the leftover business after the fad dies out.

I can see why people would be sensitive of any cultural artifacts catching the eye of white people.

itt a white person clutches pearls over fusion cuisine and food trends in middle-america (that originated in ethnic neighborhoods and restaurants in trendy coastal cities)
