I do not think this kind of behaviour is discriminatory

Chinese parents should switch to Surströmming for their kids to bring to school.

I once searched for bus-related information on the Internet, and I read that on the bus, people should eat foods on the bus that wouldn't have strong smells. So, stuff like garlic and onions would be bad on the bus. Everyone would know when a person had eaten garlic or onions because that person would have garlic breath or onion breath. There was one Korean-American KZbinr who grew up mostly in Korea but went to America during her teen years, and she admitted that kimchi stunk. Her mother was also mindful of that, and so the mom would wrap the kimchi in layers and layers of wrapping and the daughter had to uncover all the layers of wrapping to get to the kimchi that her mom sent her. And she would do this when she became a parent of a daughter. She was the one working as a dentist in real life, before she became a full-time KZbinr. The Korean Vegan KZbinr doesn't like her mother's own reaction to white people who say kimchi is stinky, because she views her mother's reaction as submissiveness. From her point of view, she is not apologizing for the stinkiness, and people have to deal with it. She is the woman who works as a lawyer in real life and KZbinr by night. I think Asians in general are more mindful of others because they grow up in a collectivist society, and in the society, it is important to be mindful of others and be aware of others. Asian Americans tend to grow up in a more individualist society so it is more important to stand up for individual traits and ideas and thoughts, even if it means to offend others. Break the harmony and conformity and all that.

most of the times its just kids picking on anything different

[@AlanMartin-lc5di]

i agree with you the parents should be more mindful and think about others, give the kid smelly food at home an less smelly when eating in public.

I’d like to give a third perspective. My perspective is that the complaints from those kids about the food are probably not *serious*. In the American culture, and to a lesser extent other western cultures, there is a tendency for people to make a big fuss about things, bc people think it is funny or entertaining. Or….something like that…. In truth, white people like Asian food (we like all cuisines). We like stinky foods, too. I do not like this over-expressiveness and over-emotionality. And I do not like the sarcasm and ribbing that is so common in our culture. I think it causes people to become anxious (this is a perfect example). However, sometimes, if you can learn that this ribbing is not a *serious* thing, you will be free to not be offended when white people say these things. The problem is that sometimes the ribbing *is* serious….so you can never know. You can only know if somebody tells you, directly, when it is serious or not. Like I am doing now. Which is rather awkward….so people often do not do it…
