- Pork buns aren't only Chinese
- Pork bun (the food) isn't always too much dough (significantly supplier dependent, you've apparently not had good ones - yelp is for this)
- Jokers in card games aren't positive, they're wild

they are primarily of chinese origin. i know them from living in china and travelling in asia. how is that a stereotype? and more importantly, what's gross about it? or how is it racist? i didn't say anything about chinese people, nor did i claim that all chinese eat porkbuns. that would be a possibly racist stereotype.
sure, it's a generic name, and you could name anything that is a bun with pork a porkbun. but that doesn't negate what i said.
i have lived and traveled to many countries on four continents. but apparently i have not travelled enough to ever come across porkbuns that are not the chinese kind. apologies for my ignorance.
i suppose german Speckknödel could translate to porkbun too. my bad.
in most cards games i know, the joker is a positive wild card, because you can use it as a fill in for any other card you are missing. how is that not positive? and the goal here is to point out that a positive association for joker exists. the existence of negative associations does not negate that.
