I don't get the lactose intolerance thing. I'm Chinese and I have no problem with dairy, milk is common at supermarkets across East Asia. Korean and Japanese people love slathering cheese on things. Coffee with milk is really common in China.
I look at stats like how we are supposed to be 98% lactose intolerant and think I'm being gaslit one way or another. At this point I know more lactose intolerant white people than Asian people.
I live in Taiwan.
Can confirm that plenty of shit is slathered in cheese and/or mayo, milk is readily available at any store, there's an absurd amount of Häagen-Dazs, and milk tea is the most commonly purchased beverage in the whole country.
Butter can be a bit scarce, though, strangely.
