Do you think cream cheese is a staple of Chinese? 

Fortune cookies aren't Chinese either, while we're at it. 

I don't know! :fatcat:

And good, cuz fortune cookies are nasty and never come true anyways. :madge:

Sorry, I didn't mean to seem snarky. According to Google, rangoons were invented at a Polynesian restaurant called "Trader Vic's." 

This site has a lot of examples of various popular Chinese foods:

But yes, it really depends on region. I know you've had hot pot though, and that's actually popular in China.

I've eaten this and love it. 

Although I want to know why it's called a Pineapple Bun if there is no pineapple.

I always thought it went with the storyline of the store. That it was a trading outpost and that was an “import” from a different trader from that region. Thought it was silly but not with bad intentions. 
 

I never realized how many they had!

Trader Jose's (Mexican food)

Trader Ming's (Chinese food)

Baker Josef's (flour and bagels)

Trader Giotto's (Italian food)

Trader Joe-San (Japanese food)

Arabian Joe's (Middle Eastern food)

Pilgrim Joe's (New England specialties, like clam chowder)

JosephsBrau (beer)

Trader Johann's (lip balm)

Trader Jacque's (French food and soaps)

Joe's Diner (certain frozen entrees)

Joe's Kids (children's food)

Trader Darwin's (vitamins and health supplements).

 

Lets boycott Trader Giotto and change it to Trader Joanne Trattoria :derpga:

What a joke. This is some high school Senior hungry for attention because he doesn’t get enough in class or at home. 
 

If Trader JosÊ, a common Hispanic name, is so racist that you need to start a petition about I suggest you really take a hard look at the way you expend your time and energy.

it can be a little bit weird to find out when a Mexican restaurant or product is not actually owned by Mexicans,

So only people of certain races or national origins should be allowed to operate certain types of businesses?

Do you know that there are white people who will say they are more Latino or more Chinese than someone because they like tacos and orange chicken from Trader Joe’s and the person doesn’t? 

Yeah, his name’s Joe Biden:ladyhaha:

but seriously, when has someone ever told you they’re more Chinese than you because they like orange chicken from Trader Joe’s and you don’t?

These fringe movements are so damning to legitimate movements and fights about race. I feel it promotes the idea that all the people fighting for racial justice want are these "trivial" changes, when the end goal is much larger. Maybe my white privilege is clouding my thoughts on this, I don't know. But I think this energy needs to be focused more on dismantling the systems in place that promote racism before moving on to these smaller things.

Honestly, I think this kind of stuff distracts from real racism. The only problem I ever had with their packaging is that Trader Ming's obviously should've been Trader Zhou's (Zhou is pronounced similar to "Joe"). 

I've been saying this too. Throwing around the racist narrative for every little trivial thing just ends up taking away from the actual issue :toofunny:

 

SJW culture I think is totally getting out of hand :enigma:

 

I don't know the issues are real but so are overeactions :enigma:

The odd part of this is me ordering a hard shell taco from a Mexican restaurant and then apparently being "ignorant" for thinking Mexicans eat hard shell tacos...

As if people are supposed to research the cultural history of every piece of food they put in their mouths. :saladga:

If Chinese restaurants and Mexican restaurants sell items that don't even originate from their respective countries, people are going to think that's where they came from.
