Eating ‘Authentic’ Food From Other Cultures Declared Racist
National Review ^ | November 20, 2015 | Katherine Timpf

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.

Worse !

But here's something that Rachel MUST always think about, whenever she has a dish that contains paprika...she must ALWAYS remember the victims of hideous Muslim terrorism, oppression, and deaths of the Hungarians, and the anti-Christian/Christion & Jewishphopia that the Muslims, of the Ottoman Empire, brought down on that nation and here people. I DEMAND SOCIAL JUSTICE TOO !

Apparently so and since she is *cough* “Taiwanese-American”, she needs to stop using a Jewish first name !

There was a video at our church talking about the various things going on. One of them was “Holy Yoga” where they read from Psalms and then meditate on them while doing the various poses.

Part of me is still wary of Yoga as a form of worship/spirtualness of pagan gods. But - I suppose if you replace the pagan thought with Psalms.....

Oh - and it was being led by a white woman!!! (Just kidding, I'm not THAT old fashioned.)

Oh, and there's another thing: You cannot eat a culture's food without thinking about the oppression that the people of that culture have gone through.

Why should I think about oppression? Why not art, music, architecture, or advancements that a culture has contributed, why always the oppression with these nuts?

Should I think about how unfair the treaty of Versailles was to the Germans every time I eat a Frankfurter? If I use Dijon mustard with my polish dog must I contemplate the poverty in France proceeding their revolution and the Nazi invasion of Poland? If I add Chili should I think about the poverty of Mexico, the killing of the Aztecs or the Indians of Chili and if I wash it down with a beer should I think hard about the union workers in Ireland who slaved to brew my drink or the Belgian monks who forsook marriage to make the finest Trappist ale on earth. If I have Buffalo wings do I think about buffalo massacres, chicken massacres or how the Sabers have been oppressing the city with inferior hockey. I think it would just be easier to eat my spotted owl stew with deep fried bald eagle.

Nonsense...roats beef is English, so are steaks, chops, roast chicken, duck, and goose. They invented the “sandwich”, Welsh rarebit, and a whole host of many delicious dishes.

Obviously you are suppressing and oppressing her and she’s too scared to tell the truth in this highly patriarchal tyranny. She needs to be rescued, deprogrammed, and re-educated so she can find her voice and be empowered. /s

What if I make it myself?

Is it OK for me to eat homemade saurkraut? I am of Germanic descent.

This does present a problem. Might have to airlift some Polish food to you.

“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.”

Wow, real Soup Nazi’s.
