Is this funny?<\/em>
\nHow can you even ask such a question? It is fuckin’ hilarious!<\/p>\n

Isn’t this cultural insensitive?<\/em>
\nYes, the cultural insensitivity here is off the charts.<\/p>\n

If it’s so culturally insensitive then why is it okay to laugh?<\/em>
\nBecause of the inherent absurdity of it all. A great many restaurants in America serving ethnic food—or some facsimile of it—are culturally insensitive simply by existing.
