#pot.txt#when someone talks about their past/upcoming trip to japan and i go yeah japans great been there before and they ask why and i say#Bc i have family there and you can just. smell the instant where you become an exotic specimen and trivia dispenser to them#im glad u enjoyed ur trip to japan lol why do i have to name the seaweed dish u ate in a region ive never visited#and why do i gotta hear how gross u think natto is. lol#i dont mind talking about japanese culture in appropriate contexts and i love talking about food but man. its def not the first time#Tho admittedly i did get off vibes from him when he asked me what i do and cut me off like a sentence in to explain that hes a scientist#albeit in a different biological system and knows about his wifes field via her work.#which like sure i get that kind of reaction if i was tryna explain a neuron to him.#But i was literally saying that i dont work in his wifes field lol#Oh man and when he said sth like oh so you claim to have japanese ancestry#haha youre very cute phrasing my heritage and identity like its somehow up for debate.
