But of course Trader Joe’s Szechuan Sauce would be cultural appropriation.
It was 1 [one] [uno] High School kid who was protesting. I went to my local Trader Joe’s to buy some Trader Jose beer right after the online BS started. They were wiped out. Every bottle was bought as a collectors item or for eBay.
They are celebrating a richness of culture that did not originate locally. Some love it so much they move here, or appropriate it at home.
I vary my diet with recipes, spices, and produce from around the world.
The coffee, tea, and spice trade has been international for centuries.
But the Leftist troll who posted that Change.org petition was against the very word “Trader” as racist, exploitative, and possibly even having slaver connotations.
Good for Trader Joe’s !!
At 50 I had a vague recollection of that, distinctly remember a family member telling me when I was a child - had to look it up for the memory to come back.
