TBH, and I cant believe Im in frogs corner here, some of the transcripts i saw of what Billo said did have him saying "yong yang" (not ying yang), or debate thats what he said.

I like it when I see white ppl at asian supermarkets, I'm always so intrigued like what exactly are you gonna buy

One thing I know for sure is that the Mexican markets seem to be the only ones that know when an avocado is actually ripe
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:06 (eleven years ago) link
on the whole I encourage white ppl to shop at asian supermarkets tho, its fun there are lots of cool snacks and ingredients and things to buy

'Ethnic' is such a daft word in this context. Crime section aside though, I'd let it slide.

Omg dayo so true. Lechera took me to an Asian market she frequents and I got lots of stuff. For one thing I KILLED that bag of seaweed crackers on the train.

I love Asian supermarkets but I've got to admit that I go in with a certain air of "whoa look at all this weird shit I don't understand, what the heck even is this" which, ok, is kind of racist, since we are on the looking for things to be racist thread
but also I come home with delicious foodstuffs often for cheap

I love asian supermarkets and always hit them when I travel as I can't get a lot of stuff where I live. I've had at least a couple times when people would stare at me while trying to decipher which exact type of pickled vegetable to buy, or tell me which brand of kecap manis is shitty and which to buy instead.
I've had a couple of older women at the checkouts actually get sort of mean, asking me if I knew what I was buying, why I was buying it, what I was going to do with it, and how the hell do I know how to cook Korean or Vietnamese food?

Gonna have to start combining this "Sriracha" sauce with some of my favorite foodstuffs! I love eating like an ethnic!

What I bought: hazelnut oil, seaweed crackers, two cans of panang curry, a kid's toy, some chili sauce that didn't have msg on the label and the label was a cool design. I would have gotten more but the lugging, the lugging.
