It IS no big deal. Nearly all so called "ethnic foods" in this country,
especially those brought over
quite some time ago are different from the originals or were invented in the
US.
Italian food, quite common in the US is nothing like the food in Italy. This
is especially so as
most of the "Italian" food in the US has a southern Italian origin which is
distinctly different
from the foods of "alta Italia" to start with. Anyway the retarded one
decided to make a big deal out of
Chop Suey not being really Chinese in a racist effort to show that white
Americans don't know
anything about Asian things. He was also hallucinating when he thought he
ordered hamburgers in a
Chinese restaurant.
