Is everyone named Rachel nuts?

[nopardons]

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

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.
