People can stop with the performative outrage when someone says “ethnic food”, you understand exactly what they mean. Yes, since food is an element of ethnic culture, all food is “ethnic”, but words and phrases have multiple meanings and, again, you understood exactly what they meant and it was Mexican or Chinese, not a burger place.
my mom used to say that to me all the time im so glad the tides are changing on that word i still catch myself using it sometimes though
