    I have some terrible news for you.

    People will continue to do that. It happens all over the world, one group calling something they’ve invented a “Spanish” this or “American” that.

    I’ve seen “American Pizza” served in Japan with hot dogs and corn and a bbq sauce. I’ve seen “Korean beef” as basically a spicy alternative to Mongolian beef. None of these dishes originate in the country they’re named for, and the people from those countries would probably recoil at the thought of all of them.

    It’s just a thing people do, have always done, and will continue to do.
