Asians in America are “cultural appropriation”. Seems they are taking advantage of America.

In one incident, Vietnamese student Diep Nguyen recalls being "disappointed" after encountering a "cheap imitation" banh mi recipe that featured ciabatta bread, pulled pork, and coleslaw in place of a baguette and pickled vegetables. Disappointing indeed. "How could they just throw out something completely different and label it as another country's traditional food?" he asks.

Oh STFU, you whiner. I once had pizza in Germany with chicken and fried egg, and in Hong Kong with pineapple, corn and squid. I was deeply offended, and I'm not even Italian, but I didn't bitch and whine to anyone about it.

What a frigging whiner! Where does he think he is? The Four Seasons? Geez...it’s cafeteria food. If you don’t like the way it looks, don’t eat it. What difference does it make what it is called? Somebody needs a dope slap. Either that or he needs to change his pad.

Get them some Ramen noodles and tell them to shut up.

Last February, Wright State University had some explaining to do after its cafeteria served fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread on a Black History Month menu.

So...in the history of black culture, no black person ever ate fried chicken, collard greens and cornbread?

This whole story reminds me that the Belgian government jealously and legally protects the word “Belgian” as regards to beer (of course, Belgium is very much a beer mecca, or do I need to say that Belgium is a “mecca-style country with respect to beer”). If an American brew calls itself Belgian, they get slapped with a lawsuit. They can only call it “Belgian style”, but not Belgian.

Of course, in the current case, with students protesting the name, it is just farce. I want to see General Tso’s descendants file the suit; then, I will pay some attention.

Put up the menu:

American crap food #1
American crap food #2
American crap food #3
American crap food #4

Then when a student gripes that the Tamboori has beef in it, say: That’s not Tamboori, that’s American crap food #1.

If you don’t like it, choose something else.

This is the type of claims I would make if I were in college. Just how stupid could I go before someone would call me on it. Maybe the have read up on Jackson Pollock.

If I understand the situation correctly, I actually think these kids are being clever. They hate the bad cafeteria food but they know that complaints about quality of the food will land on deaf ears. So, instead of saying the food is bad quality, they are saying that the food is inauthentic and have now invented the concept of cultural appropriation. Its all nonsense, but it is a way of using the college PC culture to their advantage.

If they want authentic Asian chicken they should eat the head and feet.

The funny thing is the Black students at Oberlin are demanding fried chicken to be a regular menu item. Can’t these SJWs types get their stories straight.

If “cultural appropriation” is such a bad thing, why can African Americans wear anything other than loin cloths and why aren’t all Mexicans forced to wear sombreros and donkey blankets? Aren’t they culturally appropriating “white” clothes?

I would imagine that there are a few dozen ways to prepare practically any dish. Which would be the culturally non-appropriative way?

“Not if it’s college cafeteria food, it isn’t.”

My college has pretty good food, but you’re probably correct in this case. It *is* in Ohio, after all. I do love really good Chinese food, though.
