Every time I try something Chinese or southeast asian from Trader Joe’s, I have to be cautious that it won’t offend my ancestors

It would help if all their ethnic things were uniformly bad, but sometimes some items are very very good and some items are so horrifically offensive I want to throw it away and cry

If it's good then enjoy it!

I'm sure your ancestors can compartmentalize. You're enjoying this food, so enjoy it. When you want a course of culinary history that's different, but this is just TJ food that makes you happy, and there's nothing wrong with that.

A rose by any other name and all.
