  1. Tsujiura senbei are the Japanese IP that Chinese immigrants to America sell in their restaurants as fortune cookies. So if we want to really hit the racism gas pedal (why wouldn’t we want to do that?) then Trump should sanction China for yet another instance of IP theft.

    • Well, reading about Tsujiura senbei was a fun learning experience. There is a Japanese restaurant I go to about once a week that serves fortune cookies (with “learn to read chinese” on the back of the fortune, eyeroll). I thought it was weird that a Japanese place gave out Chinese treats. Now I know. They started as Japanese food, got watered down and sugared up to align with American tastes, and used in Chinese restaurants because of racism. Then, thanks to WWII and other racism, the Chinese just slid in and took the whole shebang. And it all started in Kalifornia.
