I thought maybe there was some new kind of pressurized xiao long bao but no. Turns out it's just white people being white
Yet more proof that whites shouldn't be allowed anywhere near food that isn't untoasted wonder bread with the crusts sliced off with a dull plastic knife, then smeared lazily with something containing a lot of high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated vegetable oil

It's about respecting the effort put into making the dumplings. It's actually pretty tricky to make and time it right to get the gelatin in there to become soup after cooking, in order to get the particular taste and texture of biting into a parcel of soup. If you're going to play with your food like that and drain all the soup before eating, you may as well have ordered a basic steamed dumpling with a bowl of soup on the side instead of wasting the chef's time.
Carter Morgan
Texans will rage hysterically about putting beans in chili and that doesn't even involve not just throwing away food, but throwing away the food the existence of which is the entire reason for the dish
It's approximately as wrong as ordering a pizza, peeling off the cheese, wiping off the sauce with a paper napkin, putting a few pieces of pepperoni back on, and then just eating the crust
Carter Anderson
They paid for the food, no? They can do whatever they want. How can they be such children about how some people want to enjoy things they paid for?
If they want to protect their fragile culture that can be destroyed by white people eating their food wrong, they should go back to their own countries and do business there.

Would a westerner get offended at someone eating french fries with chop sticks? Then why the fuck would Asians get pissed off about how you eat your dumplings?
Jordan Rogers
Texans are pretty retarded for that too. People who seriously care about and get offended over things like this have nothing else to be proud of so they lash out over the little things they do have which is not necessarily something they individually even had a part of creating.
That might've been a 2/10 argument if I were actually your target race.
Jaxon Rodriguez
They're also teaching others to eat it wrong, or in such a way that the entire point of the method of preparation is lost.
I'm sure someone would get offended if I asked for my steak to be well done because I want to kill all the germs and get rid of the blood.
Ryan Wright
Not even close. This is food waste. If someone went to McDonalds to make an instructional video on how to eat McDonalds food in the proper way, and they proceeded to fling fries all over the floor and stomp on them, not as a joke, but as a serious, straight faced attempt at educating an audience, then yes, they'd rightly be derided as fools. And there'd probably be Chinese nationalists raving about how westerners are being triggered snowflakes.
Carter Lee

Is everyone under the impression that these guys just throw out the soup and not drink it afterward at some point?
Jacob Flores
It's a stereotype and an user's made-up story example. As a texan, we might not consider chili-w/-beans as "real chili", we might prefer texas chili, but we don't go around throwing it away and riding violators outta town on a rail.
Brandon Johnson
Why do you keep changing the subject? You are defending an "educational video" that teaches wrong information. You might as well be arguing that vaccines cause autism at this point.

Hold up. Why not just move the dumpling to a spoon? Thus if it breaks you can still drink the soup. Why the fussing and fighting instead of trying to solve the problem?

Literally only one of the comments ever claimed that "this is destroying culture". The majority of the comments are complaining that they are wasting the soup and wasting the effort put into making the dumplings. Also incredulous that anyone would compare eating the dumpling to popping pimples.

This. Its not about some vague sense of culture. Its about people being fucking retarded/objectively wrong and then claiming its normal. Its someone who orders a pizza and then scrapes all the toppings off. Or someone who orders sauced wings but then for some reason decides to run them under a faucet. Theres a difference between having certain tastes and eating techniques, and being flat wrong.

Tyler Baker

Nice try.

well, no. I only do it when the pizza's fresh out of the oven.
I peel the cheese off and eat the crust while the cheese cools.
After the pizza's cooled down enough I eat it like a normal person.

The local Dinesty chain actually teaches you how to eat it. You puncture the dumpling once you got it in the spoon and either eat the soup and dumpling toger or just slurp the soup

Bentley Bennett
Pretty cringey really. It's obvious that most people wouldn't play with the food like that, so it seems like they did it intentionally for the views. I always hated that "buzzfeed" style of video too.
Xavier Lopez
I don't understand. Did they throw away the soup? You can still soak up the soup with the dumpling, even if it breaks, can't you? Wasting food is bad, sure, but it's not like there's gonna be a huge difference in texture or flavor if the juices are on one side of the dough or the other, right?
Jason Campbell
I can only think the soup gets cold pretty fast outside of the dumpling.
Liam Howard
That's okay? A few degrees of temperature difference isn't going to radically change its taste or texture. Not like it turns into gazpacho if you puncture the dumpling.
Elijah Moore
chink genocide when
Michael Jackson
Pfft we don't need your help to do that.

So you can't wait to eat the crust? Crust that is too hot is your thing, for a slice or two, and when it cools, you eat it normally.

cause normal rational adults don't do that when something pisses them off its become a common reaction to scream at something you don't like in America, fucking pathetic it used to be that disdainful glances were enough to curb retards' behavior in public, but that doesn't work anymore either so unless someone is screaming in someone else's face, millennials will keep doing retarded shit

I'm more concerned about Western-born Chinese not knowing how to speak, read or write any Chinese dialect, not understanding their own history, traditional arts, culture and music or even caring about learning or promoting them, yet somehow acting offended on real Chinese people's behalf all the time, than how white people are somehow disrespecting the entire culture of China (instead of just the particular chef) by playing with their food
David Ross
>I'm more concerned about Western-born Chinese not knowing how to speak, read or write any Chinese dialect
why do they have to know how to speak Chinese if they live in an English speaking country? Stop encouraging people to not integrate.
Zachary Long
The key phrase was >yet somehow acting offended on real Chinese people's behalf If you're going to try and militantly defend the integrity of a culture, it would help if you were actually a part of that culture. And knowing the language is one of the basic requirements of being a part of any culture. If you want to integrate into the Englishman's culture, then fine, but then stop pretending like you are still Chinese and can speak on the Chinese's behalf somehow.
Hunter Fisher
Please excuse my poor reading comprehension. I gotcha.

Banana = "yellow outside, white inside". Refers to overseas-born Chinese who are completely Westernized and out of touch with their parents' culture.

>Rebel deaths numbered in the hundreds of thousands, while many noncombatants had been left homeless or destitute by the wars, and the economy and society over great parts of this most populous region of the empire were left in ruins and without resources >Death toll said to be from 3–7 million.
>The revolt arose over a pricing dispute involving bamboo poles, when a Han merchant selling to a Hui did not receive the amount demanded for the goods. >Colonel Bell estimated that the population of the Gansu Province was 15 millions before the revolt, and was reduced to 1 million after, during which 9/10 of Han people and 2/3 of Hui people died.
>The Taiping Rebellion began in the southern province of Guangxi when local officials launched a campaign of persecution against a millenarian sect known as the God Worshipping Society led by Hong Xiuquan, who believed himself to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ. >The war was the largest in China since the Qing conquest in 1644, and ranks as one of the bloodiest wars in human history, the bloodiest civil war and the largest conflict of the 19th century, with estimates of war dead ranging from 20-70 million to as much as 100 million
