In an ideal world they shouldn't, but the reality is we are tribal by nature and different racial groups will judge one another based on the actions of said groups.

Not him but chinese grammar is incredibly simple: Subject, verb, object; tenses indicated by adverbs and context; no cases. The only wierdness for westerners is the ideographic writing system which is simply memorization (don't forget to read a newspaper you only need a vocab of @ 3000-5000 words), and the phonemic tonal system where meaning changes based on the pitch of the vowel.

It’s all about the yakisoba ramen, all the spices and sauces, as well as their coffee in a can that you can buy in bulk.
If you like making sushi being able to choose from 20 different rice’s and 100 different seaweed wraps is cool.

in america, korean markets are pretty much the height of quality. they're clean, well stocked, because they see grocery shopping as an experience. local koreans go there expecting to meet someone from church or their sons friends mother, and thus see it as a social event. everywhere else feels like you stepped into a different world, almost as if everyone else is used to slinking by in the shadows in america. japanese markets are few and far between (thanks president roosevelt), and not even that great sometimes. 'hurr they have onigiri!!111' so what, koreans sell two fat rolls of kimbap packed with meat for 5 bucks. chinese markets like 99 ranch have shitty produce in comparison, but they do carry those jarred unobtainables. but it all depends on where you go. i grew up in a predominantly korean neighborhood.
