I think most people are against it.

It overthrows the whole thing. It's fucking disgusting and doesn't complement the already-sweet hotdog and bun. Wypipo style ketchup belongs nowhere near any meat. Mustard adds some nice acidity without turning the whole thing into a 5 year old's dream cuisine, but sauerkraut is the GOAT topping, even on cheap steamed hat dags

I'm glad I finally forced you to google it and educate yourself. Yes, white people ketchup (as it should be called) is disgustingly immature.

They didn't so much steal the name, as they failed to reproduce the condiment faithfully. An unrefined white palate probably sees no problems with it, which is hilarious.

It's just like how they stole Worcestershire sauce.

"European-Arabic theory
American anthropologist E.N. Anderson relies on Elizabeth David to claim that ketchup is a cognate of the French escaveche, meaning "food in sauce".[39] The word also exists in Spanish and Portuguese forms as escabeche, "a sauce for pickling", which culinary historian Karen Hess traced back to Arabic Kabees, or "pickling with vinegar". The term was anglicized to caveach, a word first attested in the late 17th century, at the same time as ketchup.[35]"
