ppl think its cool and funny to repeat the quippy old meme of "oh white ppl conquered the world for spices and now they only eat bland bad food" and then take it really seriously and are like "yeah what the fuck is wrong with white ppl for not spicing their food"
and i know what's happened is they're trying to show how based and anti-imperialism and politically aware they are by [checks notes] making fun of people's personal food choices,
but all it really does is make me feel even worse being an easily-overstimulated autistic white person who can't eat super-flavorfully-complex food most of the time since the pandemic-stress autism burnout
same goes for when ppl make fun of ppl who (like me) use a fork to eat tacos or sandwiches or pizza or french fries, or chopsticks for snacks.
like please just shut up and leave me alone i am trying to tackle the difficult task of eating on my own terms and in my own way
