Are you even thinking about oppression while you eat that taco? According to Social Justice Internet, it’s totally fine to enjoy foods from other cultures — as long as you don’t call the food “authentic,” act like it’s out of the ordinary, or forget to get upset about Islamophobia every time you eat hummus.

I’m going to miss Swedish Meatballs...

These people need to be put away.

For their own safety, of course.

After doing my family tree and finding most of my ancesters came from the British Isles, I guess I have to plead guilty to preferring Authentic Ethic foods. Caus I ain’t eating that crap from England. Boiled Beef vs Kung Pao Shrimp? Bangers vs Chitlins?

White people can’t teach yoga:

Please keep this up until the election. The public clearly needs to see who the extremists are.

Ask an SJW “Why are you intentionally trying to erase other cultures from America? Why are you being so culturally genocidal?”

Watch them go into vaporlock.

I’ve eaten at many a restaurant owned, operated by immigrants and most of them advertise their food as authentic. So am I racist by eating there?

[ Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims should immediately stop using antibiotics... STOP appropriating White culture!!! (also stop sampling classical music in hip hop or R&B music, stop using running water, stop taking he polio vaccine an insulting Jewish culture, etc) ]

But you see WE OWE THEM, so they can use all that stuff but we cannot eat a crumb of THEIR food...

And I was thinking about reading the Koran. But I would have to do so in English, which is cultural appropriation to the max.

So I guess I won't be doing that now.

[Jonty30]

I think that’s the argument to use.

Roast beef, potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding are awesome! But you can only chew on one side of your mouth.

[GraceG]

Someone should go to a taco bell and do a hidden camera stunt where they shame any white customers ordering tacos.

Also if it is a Taco Bell / Pizza Hut make sure that only Italians are ordering pizza...

There's an "authentic" Lebanese place I like that is operated entirely by Mexican Americans.

What am I to do?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

HAH!

From the article:

Student federation president Romeo Ahimakin said the yoga program was not canceled because of a complaint. Rather, the program was suspended while students were consulted “to make it better, more accessible and more inclusive to certain groups of people that feel left out in yoga-like spaces. ... We are trying to have those sessions done in a way in which students are aware of where the spiritual and cultural aspects come from, so that these sessions are done in a respectful manner.”

The day yoga needs a safe space is the day parody meets reality. That day has come.

Me talking:

I just watched the Safe Space South Park episode on another thread.

We’re so far down the rabbit whole now I don’t think there’s any getting back. The scarey thing is how pervasive it has all become.
