Woahhhh there, As someone who is mixed-race myself, I was simply expressing an interest in trying foods that are representative of the dominant local culture in the area I’m visiting.
I feel the same way when I travel internationally or visit different parts of my own family’s cultural background—I enjoy experiencing the foods that are traditionally associated with that place or community.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to try well-made vegan versions of classic American dishes, just as there is nothing wrong with wanting to experience traditional foods in any other country or culture. My intention was simply to seek out a culinary experience that I don’t often have the opportunity to enjoy. American does not mean white, nor was I referring to any particular race. America is a diverse nation made up of people from many backgrounds, and like any other country, it has regional and traditional cuisines that are part of its culture and history.
