why are you using "his" to refer to an eggroll and why does it have a name ?

And it's obvious that's entirely fabricated by a 14 year old.

You just cheat and call them by their North American name

Most Chinese I've met seem to have one. Usually its something like Arthur, Anthony, Frank, Ronald, Howard, Charles.

Anyway, Asian jokes don't seem to be taboo at all. How unfortunate.

It's probably spelled "Xuan" or something similar.
