Because most of them (and the concept as a whole) started out as Japanese restaurants, but wound up changing during WWII, when we started putting Japanese-Americans into internment camps. Chinese people took over the now-abandoned restaurants, changed the name (because no one wanted to eat Japanese food while we were fighting them in the Pacific), and it just sort of stuck ever since. It's sort of like if "freedom fries" or "liberty cabbage" had actually stuck. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:936936672] in Favorite c...
