Shark fin soup is overrated but I’m not going to stop anyone else from enjoying it.

LOL. Lefties twist themselves all up to maintain the fiction of their paradigms. Eating shark’s fin simply cannot be cultural for Chinese because, in the left paradigm, native Hawaiian’s want to ban it. Why? Native Hawaiian culture says sharks are holy (I don’t pretend to know the details but there are Hawaiians who, for religious reasons, threaten to kill anyone who kills a shark).

Now, if it were a Chinese cultural “thing” to eat shark’s fin, then the lefties in the Hawaiian legislature are committing thought-crimes by even thinking about banning it. Chinese have colored skin and therefore, lefties have to pretend their culture is unassailable because, well, who knows but we have to respect all colored skin culture. Native Hawaiians also have colored skin. There is an irreconcilable conflict for the lefty so long as the shark stuff is “cultural.”

Ergo, eating shark’s fin CANNOT be cultural.

At first I thought the headline had to do with wearing one at the beach while swimming.

I personally don’t care if anyone wants to eat shark fin soup. But I am disgusted with the practice of catching a shark just to cut off its fins and let the fish drown.
