Huh. Why's that? We moved out to the suburbs in large part due to the better ethnic grocery stores and restaurants.[/quote]

It's not that there is no good ethnic foods in the suburbs.  But getting ethnic food in the suburbs is an outing, as in "today we are going to that <insert ethnicity> place where we go every couple of weeks".   And there are menus, and Yelp reviews, and they are making certain adjustments for the proverbial "white people", have waiters who speak excellent English, etc.  It's a bit different with the places that are first and foremost serving local immigrant communities and also happen to be your neighbors, and you interact with them as neighbors.

snort. have you ever considered that the person to whom you are responding might be *gasp* a member of an immigrant community/ethnic minority and that's why she/he said what they said?

I love being whitesplained by clueless white urbanites. Dunning-Kruger personified. [/quote]

PP.  Have you ever considered that I may be a member of an immigrant community too?  And this is how I know the difference between the place I and my family go to and food places of my ethnicity that get endlessly blogged?  Keep snorting.  [/quote]
