> aren't food from your culture, they are cheap knockoffs

Tons of stuff in a grocery store are "cheap knockoffs", are you seriously proposing that there should be zero ethnic food unless it is 100% authentic and expensive?

And you don't realize just how exclusionary you are being?

It's like people don't actually care about minorities, about what minorities actually want, they only care about appearing to care.

Basically anything not PDO[1] would be "cheap knock off". Spaghetti, nope, not unless it's imported Italian. Dates, only if they're Persian/Iranian. Tacos --would e have to import all the ingredients? What is a "Hamburger" or a "Burrito" are they German and Mexican or are they American given they were invented here? It's ridiculous stance. No Japanese curry in Japan, No Tempura in Japan (derived from foreign influence)...
