When Chinese people see my pets, will they think of it as their food?

Anton is an honorary Chinese. We both have standards.

We’re better than (some of the) Americans who chased a poor girl 500 miles just to kill her pet goat.

Jokes aside, the stereotype of Chinese people eating everything is greatly exaggerated and/or interpreted wrong.

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

Every time I post the goat story, I have people come telling me how it is perfectly with the state’s right to kill the little girl’s pet goat because of… reasons. And these are often the same people who make racist comments about how Chinese people or Haitian people eat pets.

Remember Anton Ego from Ratatouille?

No.

Why are men ridiculously delusional in the women they want/approach? I'm not a troll. This is a real question. Why does a fat, pot bellied, unkempt, balding, stupid (ergo poor) man, tell a woman above his league that she isn't hot enough for him?

Oh, I just realized I’m talking to a bunch of racist edge lords. So let me clarify: Chinese people understand the difference between animals raised for meat and people’s pets. We understand people’s pets are not food. We understand that an animal raised for meat may sometimes become a person’s pet, and when that happens, we should respect the person and let them have their own pets.

Do you remember what he said about food: “I don’t like food. I Love it! If I don’t love it, I don’t swallow.”

It is true that Chinese culture highly values food and cooking. There’s an internet meme about how when Chinese people see an animal, the first three things they think about is, “Can we eat it? Does it taste good? What’s the best way to cook it?” The three questions are so popular and prevalent that it was shortened to slang: 能好怎（can/good/how). And most Western racists stopped at the first question when what really mattered was the last two: does it taste good, and how can we prepare it?

Most of the things Chinese people are rumored to eat do not pass the last two checks. They usually do not taste good, no matter how you prepare them.

Dogs and cats make poor meat choices. We have standards.

You people are the reason why we have so much suffering in this fucked up world.

This is the moment I have to take a deep breath and say, “You can’t teach people empathy.”
