Points I agree with as a non-sushi eater:
Regarding point 2: I used to be an annoying enough shitlib myself to watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and I remember a bit in the 2021 episode about homelessness: John Oliver brought up NIMBYs in Claremont, {Tovaangar|(Los Angeles area)} rejecting affordable housing for homeless people as an example; and one of the Claremont residents interviewed was like, "How is that [an influx of formerly homeless people] going to impact crime? How is that going to impact the businesses out here? If they're low income, are they going to be spending money at the sushi place, or, y'know, or not?" — and John was like, "Oh No! Not The Sushi Place™!!" — and I still hear that in my head every time I think about Western sushi, especially sushi culture in suburban Seppoland: People deathly afraid of homeless people spoiling their forgettable isolated plastic suburban mcmansion hellscape's """image""" as a """refined""" and """"multicultural""" place.
Points I'd bring up:
Points I disagree with:
I disagree with this because I don't think it's good to judge culinary traditions, even if we don't like the people who eat it. But I'm also assuming this post is mainly made in jest anyways.
I never really thought about it, because sushi is basically just one step above fast food over here, but there really are people who think sushi is some kind of exotic fancy dish that shows how cultured they are for eating it.
There's nothing wrong with fusion food. Noone can seriously argue that Pho is not infinitely better with jalapeno slices. I'm saying mayo slathered "modern" fusion sushi with potato chip flake is an abomination. Also traditional sushi is not supposed to be cold, it is supposed to be room temperature. This brings up another environmental disaster needed to accommodate the modern sushi industrial complex - refrigeration.
Refrigeration is a fair point to make. I had assumed that by "cold" you actually meant room temperature. However, my point about Hashtag No Food An Abomination still stands! You have listed various ingredients that you find abominable when put on sushi, but no explanation as to why they are abominable, aside from personal preference (and I don't disagree that it sounds repulsive).
I mention this because I put "Burgerlanders have an unrefined palate" jokes on the same shelf as "white woman" jokes, i.e. that the jokes oftentimes come from a place of multiple (often internalized) prejudice, but slip past people's defenses and come across as "woke" because they're framed as if they're punching up. I don't necessarily want to be the fun police telling people that they can't make jokes about Yankees eating slop, but I do want people to question what they see as "unrefined" or "abominable" food to begin with, and why they think of food in those terms.
