No one ever told me you’re not supposed to microwave fish or whatever at work bc it “smells bad” I grew up with an incurable case of being Asian and unfortunately what people consider “pungent odor” I consider “Mm someone’s eating tastey food”

Like I avoid doing it so as to not be a dick generally speaking but also like I still think other people need to be more normal about fish smells generally. “ewww it smells stinky how can u stand it” idk man! Coastless behavior

I think I’d be more cool with it if white people stopped veering into race science every time they smelled a crab that wasn’t deep fried. “Do you ORIENTS not notice how GROSS the smell is” I am plunging you into a vat of phu quoc fish sauce until you apologize for the opium wars

Anyway I’m bringing this up bc I was asked to stop microwaving my doenjang jjigae and I was like “BUT THERE’S NO FISH” and they were like “Yeah but it smells pungent” IT SMELLS GOOD! SUCK ME FROM THE BACK
