Christmas Cake is a British + Colonies thing (- the US it seems). So you should suspect your memory, because the Chinese/Japanese seem to remember better ;)

Did you really need to make the Chinese are depressing not efficient racial slur?

The 7-11 slur was an anti-American slur. American 7-11s are depressing and inefficient. The slurpee... oh God.

Seems so, yes. "christmas cake" is common in India too. For example,

"For sweet, the Anglo Indian household enjoys Christmas cake and plum pudding, perfumed with brandy, nutmeg and other spices." http://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/the-indian-christmas-table-...
