[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not liking Korean food I don’t think is racist. 
I would consider calling out the tiger mom comment, but my kid would probably just get embarrassed.

- Asian mom (but not a “tiger mom”)[/quote]

+1  Is it because he said Asian rather than Korean? Because I think it's perfectly fine to dislike particular cuisines. One of my kids doesn't like Japanese food, for example. I don't care for Spanish.

As for the tiger mom comment, having a kid fully scheduled so that he doesn't have any free time on the weekend fits. I hear tiger mom used generically these days, not with reference to race. Just the type A+ moms gunning for Ivy admissions.

No, it’s rude to tell someone you don’t like an entire cuisine especially when it’s their culture’s cuisine.

It’s ok to say “I don’t really like pepperoni, would it be ok if I took it off or if we ordered half cheese?”. It’s not ok to say “I don’t like Italian food” and ask for something else when you’re at your Italian friend’s house.[/quote]

It’s rude, but he’s 12, not 22.[/quote]
