It's beyond ridiculous, it's downright stupid.

Hello, collective rfc imbeciles! Sriracha originated in Thailand.
Thai people are ASIANS. Huy Fong may be the most popular sriracha in
the US and made in the US, but it's not the only sriracha. A local
restaurant here keeps Thai made sriracha on it's tables. It comes
from Thailand, home of Thai people who are not European, S. American,
African, Slavic or any number of other ethnic class. THEY'RE ASIAN!!!
They guy who makes Huy Fong sriracha is of Chinese/Vietnamese
ancestry, both ethnic groups being ASIAN!! Get it!? ASIAN!!

(I know some moron is still gonna argue this point)
