This just depends on the area. We have a local middle eastern place and a pho place, and when I get take out from each I'm always the only white guy in there. I'm usually the only one speaking english. Both rival any urban counterpart. Also, we (Chicagoland) have much better mexican food than the NYC area - simply because we have a lot more people of mexican descent. Spicy!
But again, you're right on Chinese. The best we can do is Doordash P.F. Changs, and that's usually just several orders of the chicken lettuce wraps.
