Maybe I should have clarified. I'm Arab, so I find it ignorant when someone uses a brown stereotype against me (curry or cab driver jokes). You eating a lot of pasta just means they're making fun of your Italian heritage which I wouldn't find offensive. If I were to for example make fun of how you probably eat a lot of perogies and used a bunch of Eastern European jokes against you (assuming you're not half Polish or something), would that type of stupidity not piss you off?
