27. Chapter 27

Quick author's note- I am American. Born and bred. And proud, but by and large Americans are not universally loved.

#1. The american is a way to tell what student Lin was talking about-I fail to see how that's an insult, more of an identifier.

2. western food doesn't mean american food. It means non japanese. It's not her comfort food and the heaviness bothers her. also not an insult.

3. I believe is american jeans? Again an identifier. Fail to see the insult

4. movie and band? I have no idea what type of put down it is to insert my favorite movie and band..but ok sorry you're hurt but I can't please everyone.

So i haven't found one thing that insults Americans just that calls them out as out of the norm. As in an american student in england would stick out. perhaps theirs a reason ayako wanted western food? Hmm... perhaps mai doesn't like fried eggs and bacon? Perhaps it's a story and people shouldn't get so hurt. I'm not trying to be rude but in all reality it's a little silly to be upset. Up until recently I was a professional chef for 13 years. Yes, I'm old. Anyway I worked with a number of extremely talent foreign chefs, some japanese and by and large they had a great distaste for americans because of their superiority complex and rudeness. I wanted to write you personally but ther was no way to so I felt it important to post that I love all peoples as I have foreign ancestors and relatives. I'm not trying to be rude but it's a story and your feelings shouldn't be hurt because of the fact that I singled out someone as an american to identify them from a sea of english students, or that i said western food bothered Mai. My interpetation of Mai is that she doesnt' like heavy western food. I fail to see the issue...
