Westerners are ignorant. What a shocker.

    westerns have ever thought

    Bold of you to assume. In seriousness though, I think it’s likely that a lot of Westerners don’t even think to think about how diverse Chinese food may or may not be, or even if they do, would have difficulty grasping how diverse it truly is.

      I think part of that stems from Westerners (at least where I live) struggling to comprehend how large, populous, and diverse China is as a country. It’s presented and taught as a monolith, unless the media/government is trying to push a secessionist movement, then all of a sudden everyone thinks they’re an expert on an ethnic group they only thought of as “Chinese” until influencers told them they’re oppressed.
