LOL...If you're going to insist on telling me the "point" of the video (which you've apparently decided is to scoff at the the youngins' SJW notions of identity, cultural appropriation, or whatever) you kinda missed the boat, don't you think?
"This is tasty Chinese food that Chinese people would accept"
to which his wife (I assume) replies "Chinese people would"
And the older Chinese lady then says
"It's just American style Chinese food, you can't expect it to be exactly like our traditional Chinese food"
With the younger people clearly being basically disgusted with almost every they tasted which just comes off as some odd attempt at being pretentious about what's authentic and what isn't authentic Chinese food. I don't think anyone EXPECTED anyone to say Panda Express was good Chinese food, so I doubt that's "the point" of the video.
What are you talking about?
And SJWs? What? What video did you watch? What do SJWs have to do with Panda Express?
This was a funny video I thought I'd share and you're rambling about SJWs and cultural appropriation. Jesus christ. You must be fun at parties.
I think that young people are just more prone to posing and having strong opinions. I've seen young American posers get excited about how delicious some extremely bland food was when traveling, apparently just because the food was authentic.
Going to Panda Express and expecting authentic Chinese cuisine is probably roughly equivalent to going to McDonalds and expecting authentic American cuisine. There are a lot of McDonalds in foreign countries, and I suppose that people there might think that's authentic American cuisine. An American will eat at a McDonalds and say that its OK, but it isn't where they are going to go if they want a good hamburger and fries.
