Yes, I think white people being snooty about "authenticity" is usually more about reinforcing class prejudice than breaking down racial prejudice.

And yes, something I didn't mention but which is a good point is that there is not one "authentic" chinese cuisine.

On a lighter note, potstickers totally exist in China, they're literally called "pan stick", and they're awesome.

That doesn't surprise me: there's no reason to think australian "Chinese" food is any more authentic than american :)

Friending is always good!
