if all food can be traced back to its ethnic origin, why not just call it food instead of ethnic food?

Answers:
I don't really consider french fries and hamburgers "ethnic"

I believe that the distinction comes from whether the food is considered part of the main stream overall. Hamburgers and hot dogs are ubiquitous in America; curry is not.

Other Answers:
I think that ethnic groups only call other group's food ethnic. For example, I am American, so I would call food eaten in China "Chinese". But a Chinese person would just call it "food".

For non ethnic cuisine, try Californian cuisine.

---

Yep, it's called American food.

---

Ethnic is foreing to me. I have lived in different countries. SO in each country I live, the next one is ethnic and so forth

---

Because for some reason, ethnic is now synonymous with "black" or "not-white". Ex. "Ethnic" hair. Everyone has an ethnicity, therefore everyone is ethnic. It drives me crazy that it's misused so much.

---

Any food that is local is not ethnic food.
For instance Sukiyaki would not be considered ethnic food in Japan.
