the China problem

A lot of people are Chinese. 
It's normal. I am sick sometimes 
of the demonizing you get, people! 
Talking about China sometimes like 
you don't scarf down Chinese food 
every damn chance, and have two 
to three pet dishes - your go-to's 
in any unfamiliar rice and bits 
shop. Acknowledge - albeit, 
okay unconsciously - as 
landmark culinary bulwarks 
on the scheme of the global 
tongue and stomach. Yet talkin' 
'bout China this, China that, 
oh the China problem. Yeah

well 

didja ever stop to consider 
maybe people who make 
people problems are the 
real problem? How 'bout 
we demonize that and them
instead? See what that solves
