My SO is white and tried to do a favor for us by picking up dumpling skins at the grocery store. How do I explain nicely that buying Asian things must happen at an Asian grocery store and the fake stuff at Kroger just will not suffice? In a way that doesn’t make me just seem picky

I don’t want to land at, well I will just do it myself then. That would be a bad solution because they are trying to do us a favor

Just tell them. It’s your culture who cares if you seem “picky”. My white bf and I have been going through this exercise for years.

Really don’t see the problem here. He tried to do something sweet. TBH I don’t think the difference is discernable nor worth making a big deal over. I got a toasted lox, cream cheese, and capers bagel from a Korean-owned deli this morning which had kimchee on the shelves. Tastes the same.

Ask him if he’d pick up pancakes at a Japanese grocer.

Ummm sir are you even Asian? Japanese pancakes are literally the best pancakes in the world. American pancakes taste like napkins in comparison

Make a similar comparison to something he likes.

I stand corrected. There no similar comparison. Asian things are better 😂
