White Christian cultures exempt, however.

When Kermit the Frog found El Sleezo Cafe, a stereotypically Mexican joint in 1979’s “The Muppet Movie,” he nervously muttered, “Foreign food … but a man’s gotta eat.” Never mind that the house special turned out to be frog’s legs — such a scene today would go straight to the cutting-room floor and the creators exiled to Cancelville.
Once upon a time, it was permissible to make light-hearted fun of cuisines that were unfamiliar or exotic to film audiences.
But in today’s unforgiving and witless world of Indigenous-Cuisine Purity, good-natured jokes are strictly verboten. Worse, just about any dish not from Western Europe that isn’t cooked by a native-born chef is either a fake version of the cuisine or a wicked ripoff of it — or both.

I appropriated a big burrito yesterday.

You can disappropriate it tomorrow.
They don’t seem to mind it at all if we wear the jewelry or display their artwork in our homes.

And they will accept certificates bearing images of old, dead white oppressors.
How about that snack shop, “La Taco Stein”?
Mexicans use cilantro and cumin that Europeans introduced to them.
Just to thumb my nose at the witless woke morons, I’m going to have a bowl of chop suey.
Excellent point. It’s a contrived, ridiculous phrase.
The ignorant and self-absorbed woke crowd is like a plague of locusts, destroying everything in its path.
I refuse to abide by their stupid nonsense, as do many others I know.
White Christian cultures exempt, however.
However if you display it in your business the woke will come screaming for your head.
Ask the owners of that lezzie bar in Seattle. I think it was Seattle. Might have been Portland.
I laughed and laughed.
And did not care.
Charlotte, NC has a Greek community with a long history of restaurant ownership serving non-Greek food (hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, Southern staples like fried chicken, steaks, prime rib, etc.). As an American and a Southerner, do I care and am I offended? NO.
All the whiners and the perpetually offended need to shut up and stop annoying everybody else.
That sounds like the kind of thing Ami Horowitz is known for. Might be someone else, but Ami is awesome on stuff like that.
Ami Horowitz: How white liberals really view black voters

Goes to white liberals, asks them if blacks have a hard time getting IDs, then talks to black people about what the libs said. It’s pretty funny.
Agreed. Some people aren’t happy unless they are miserable because of some imagined injustice.
I was in Duluth, Georgia once for work and decided to go to a place called the Georgia Diner across from my hotel. I figured it would be southern cooking, which I like a lot, but it wasn’t. I felt right at home anyway. It was just like the family restaurants in Chicago that I call Greek diners, because the majority of them are run by Greeks. They have huge menus that include some Greek items, and some Eastern European, but the majority of offerings are good old rib-sticking American cuisine. I mentioned when I paid my check that they were just like the Greek diners back home in Chicago, and I found out the owners were Albanians! The food was just as good.
Pretty young guy.
Of course everyone under thirty now looks young to me.
I will see if I can find it because it is pretty funny.
To all the WOKE critics appalled by the horrors of culturally appropriated cuisine, ES...AD!
More like today since the usual trip is 20 hours. :)
“She’s a Brit, a people who aren’t known for their food.”
Oh, yes they are. Memorialized in a joke that’s older than I am:
“What’s the difference between Heaven and Hell?
In Heaven the Government is Swiss, the cars are German, the Lovers are Italian, the Cops are British, and the Chefs are French.
In Hell, the Government is Italian, the cars are French, the Lovers are Swiss, the Police are German, and the Chefs are British.”
“The goal is to create a sense of unease and defensiveness constantly...”
Big troof...
I found the video. Very funny. The Mexican people are normal humans. Our youth? Brainwashed, reactionary robots.
Excellent, thanks. Very much of a kind with the Ami Horowitz vid I posted earlier. Leftists are so predictable, and so dour and unhappy.
The battle cry of the left is "THAT'S NOT FUNNY".
Somewhere I read, "If you can not laugh you can not live." It is no wonder so many of them are on medication.
