"Itadakimasu" is an essential phrase in your Japanese vocabulary. It's often translated as "I humbly receive," but in a mealtime setting, it's compared to "Let's eat," "Bon appétit," or "Thanks for the food." Some even liken it to the religious tradition of saying grace before eating.

What you're not seeing is the White Christian parents teaching their kids that other cultures are superior to their own. "Savage nobles," "China is an ancient culture," jazz niggers are so classy and cool, etc. Then 10-20 years later, they're shocked when their kids are this meme in the OP.

Somewhat related, my stepdad used to act all tough and call me a pussy when I'd complain about mom leaving raw chicken germs on the kitchen counter or about them smoking with the windows rolled up in the car. Now he's shocked when I don't give a shit about him possibly catching COVID. Bitch, you didn't raise me to be sensitive, fucking faggot boomer.
