No, he's classist. The fact that he bagged Chinese in particular really didn't matter much, he's a jew ... they could have protected him from the fallout of that.

Since Trump got elected, bagging on midwesterners is just a terrible idea commercially though. They've gotten uppity and they spend a lot of money. They pretends it's about the Chinese to not have to admit the plebs have power, but it's because the plebs have power.

I watched his show bizarre foods a lot, he's not a racist. This quote makes sense for him to say because he's all for authenticity and culture.
He really respected cultures as distinct and wanted to preserve their food and identities, and part of that has to do with not liking shitty, dumbed-down food.
It's just a fucking fact that Chinese food that's served in the US is dumbed down for American palates, but I guess paying homage to another culture and doing it correctly is racist if you're white.
All he wanted to do was create an authentic Chinese restaurant for Americans and the SJWs struck again. It's just another score in the book for the removal of identities and homogenization of cultures.

not racist. just taken out of context. he has been to china and eaten authentic chinese food.
in merrica and other western countries they have had to dumb down the palette for the western tastes so its more bland.

same thing with genuine indian food and some bought in a western country: the flavours are more bland. but if you want them to turn up the heat the chef is usually only too willing to oblige.

Fake News/Misleading Headline
>A representative from the network said in a statement that the decision to move the two shows to a rotation on Sunday mornings came before Zimmern’s controversial comment during an interview with Fast Company.

>“The shows, along with other food content on Travel, will no longer air on prime time, but on Saturday mornings in rotation. This decision came before Andrew’s comments were made,” the statement reads.

However, you also get this gem:

>Eve Wu, a baker, expressed her solid support for P.F. Chang’s after Zimmern labeled the chain a “rip-off.”

>“I’ll back P.F. Chang’s and their family any day of the week. Asians forever!” Wu told the publication. “If we have to be the generation that is going to be calling out problematic behavior, because in the past it hasn’t been, then I’m going to do it. . . . I will do a 100-year war with him.”

should have toned down the language and not make such a sweeping statement.

americanised chinese often feel like they belong neither here nor there, they still get asked where they are from even if they grew up in usa. But they also cannot connect with mainland chinese, the culture gap is huge.

thus their own americanised chinese culture becomes a refuge /pride? for them. When zimmerman called their restaurants shit, it was like he called their existence /local culture shit.

(doesn't help that most of young american asians are liberal and likely SJW.)

It has nothing to do with "racism is bad". It's more like not being able to discuss anything without the thread devolving into a bitchfest about niggers, jews or liberals because /pol/dditors literally have no idea how to actually talk about anything else.
