When I was growing up you'd hear stories about how the local Chinese immigrants would eat neighborhood cats when they caught them.
But our "Chinese" neighbours were actually Portuguese, and vegetarian.
Racists are going to be racist, regardless of reality
Chinese immigrants
I used to work at a Chinese restaurant an the number of people who came in there blithely asking me if we "really" cooked and served cats was astounding.
I got tired of answering the question so often that towards the end I gave up and my standard response was, "No, we only cook and serve idiots who go around saying we cook cats."
I think the very low percentage of lost business was worth it. And this only because my boss told me that this kind of thing did not meet the criteria wherein I was allowed to roundhouse kick patrons in the teeth. If you're going to be a dumbass, at least try to be original.
Should have just put up a sign for cat soup and silently point at it for anyone who still ask.
