Thought China produced the ultimate crisps for a second.

Lafargue’s “the right to be lazy” enlarges on this. I read it long time ago so don’t remember his suggestion but the whole book is about your questions. Lafargue was Marx’s son in law btw.

Let me tell you a story about Western idea of race (my first post on lemmy btw):

Me and a friend from Azerbaijan started our studies in Britain. The school asked us to fill a survey and one of the questions was our ethnicity. My friend is untypically Asian looking and dark skinned for Azerbaijan. But he went and picked “Caucasian” because, well he is literally Caucasian, he is from Caucasia. I on the other hand picked other white as a Turk.

Western ideas of “background”, race etc are not applicable to us.
