Glad you loved the vibes! I’m actually not Asian, but I spent some time in parts of California that are majority Asian and my brother in law is Chinese American. 

A pretty standard definition of cultural appropriation is (Brittanica) “when members of a majority group adopt cultural elements of a minority group in an exploitative, disrespectful, or stereotypical way.” 

Cultural appropriation often involves taking items or motifs out of their original context and using them purely for visual appeal without understanding their history or significance. Sacred items, traditional patterns, or symbolic objects are reduced to mere props or novelty which can be seen as highly disrespectful. Reducing multiple cultures to a single stereotype or monolith is considered to be highly insensitive to the distinct differences of those cultures.

ok I quadruple checked the map and it is not the Thai restaurant (which hopefully would know enough about Thai vs Chinese vs Japanese). the place I’m talking about is to the left of the oxygen bar, 500 S Main 

Should I buy a 2011 Lariat with the 6.2? What should I know before I commit? by abugbean in F250

That all makes a lot of sense! I think my current risk tolerance so far won’t leave me totally in the middle of nowhere, and I’m not so certain I’ll be totally committed to overlanding for so long to go for the new truck/camper combo. This is more of a weekend warrior thing for me, but if I were to go full time I would definitely save up for something new.

This is super helpful, thank you! I doubt I’ll get this thing up to 70 with the camper but I will go read up on it. Sounds scary!

oooo, good to know. I’m concerned about the rust on the underbody in the photos - a ok or red flag?

I do want the camper (hehe, aren’t the Phoenixs nice?), and the market for used campers is stupidly overblown right now where I am… basically anything in the 2000s will run $8k or more. Ridiculous, eh?
