It’s unclear how the Chinese people feel about this, but they have about four years before everyone must participate in this “game”.
College Students Cry 'Cultural Appropriation' Over Rice

Traditionally American food tends to have a somewhat different spin depending on what country you go to. It seems that since a lot of the big social changes have already happened, the regressive left has started to nitpick at things they only think are unjust.
