I like this quote.... “This is where they’re allowed to encounter Asians, and the idea of Asia and the Pacific, in a very contained way, not in public, not out in cities or in urban areas,” says Padoongpatt. “This is a safe way for them to interact with an ‘exotic’ culture.” Kahiki had people from everywhere, lots of Cuban people at first. Now in this day and age I love to go to the grocery stores that are "exotic" as you find cool new things to cook with. Most of them HATE it when I come in, the restaurants don't show this as much. When I grew up we had many other cultures in our suburb / school. |
