Reply to comment by esgrove2 in New York City health inspectors issued a disproportionate number of citations to restaurants serving Asian cuisine in the early months of 2020, finds a new study by a team of researchers by thebelsnickle1991

I don't get why Americans do this.

I'm Canadian. I have access to Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, restaurants within walking distance.

We have a Chinatown district but it's not just for Chinese people. A lot of the smaller restaurants there are kind of sketchy when it comes to cleanliness but inspectors keep them on their toes.

It's not an American thing, we do that in Germany too.

The reality is that most "asian" restaurants serve food remotely inspired by a mixture of asian cuisines to cater the local population, and not actual, say, Thai food. There are some places that actually serve actual food from one country/region, but those are rather new and more expensive than the cheap "chinese" takeout place.
