Why do Asians culturally appropriate American invented cornstarch for their foods?

Did you know that Asian cuisine regularly uses cornstarch, an invention created by an American in America? The Asians appropriate it and use it to thicken their sauces. Asia, my culture is NOT your cuisine.

Basically every single one that has a thick sauce uses cornstarch.

It's better to use this info as a gotcha if someone tries to say I'm being disrespectful when wearing my cheongsam in public

It's a perfect trade off. Asians can use cornstarch and American chicks can continue using cheongsams whenever they come back in style again.

They don't use wheat flour you dingus. You can thicken sauces with flour like a roux or gravy but those would change the Asian dishes too much. Cornstarch is better than rice flour for the same reason. You need very little cornstarch to thicken a sauce and it doesn't change the sauce's color or flavor. Learn to cook, b-word.
