Dishwasher Addendum

Apparently, Asian people not using the dishwasher is a previously chronicled phenomenon. Take a look at this Washington Post feature from 2005, which notes that appliance companies and retailers don't even bother to market dishwashers to ethnic minorities.

The article also includes this line:

"Kitchen historians speculate that the dishwasher lies at the heart of what it means to be a family."


The article proceeds to quote one of these "kitchen historians". Maybe this is my "immigrant" mentality, so I do apologize, but kitchen historian is not a real job. Go get a real job, kitchen historian lady.

"Kitchen historian" wasn't the only made-up job in there. What's a "job trainer"?
