Just to reiterate, if someone says I said or did something bigoted, my first response isn’t going to be ranting about PC culture or “back in my day”, I’m going to apologize, look at my behavior or statements or assumptions, and try to do better.
If the person saying that is a left-wing loony that thinks eating Thai food is cultural appropriation or something, I’ll smile politely and say I’ll do better, and then dig into my pad thai noodles.
