Eating food from ethnicity not your own is “cultural appropriation”.
The southern blacks learned the cuisine here and everyone else brought it here.
My direct bloodline ancestors showed up here in 1630 plus I’m related to a dozen of the Pilgrims that showed up on the Mayflower. We’ve got ancestors in every war since the Indian wars. Most of the people in this Country are “appropriating” from me if that’s how this is gonna go.
And if the argument is that we appropriated from the natives, well then I guess we all need to go back to pounding weapons from rocks and making pottery.
The scary part is that some people think we should do that anyway due to climate change.
