Turns out French food — all those crunchy baguettes, tasty pastries, scrumptious cheeses, and fine wines — is racist, according to a law professor who studies "food whiteness" and "food privileges."

What are the details? The Times U.K. reported that a video of Mathilde Cohen discussing the issue for a seminar outside Paris is upsetting folks in France, as the paper noted that the country's cuisine is "seen as a cornerstone of the national identity."

Cohen, who hails from the University of Connecticut School of Law, suggested that French eating habits reinforce the "dominance" of white people over ethnic minorities, the Times U.K. said.

An academic paper that was part of Cohen's seminar asserts that France's "eating culture ... has been the central means of racial and ethnic identity formation through slavery, colonialism, and immigration. The whiteness of French food is all the more powerful in that it is unnamed, enabling the racial majority to benefit from food privileges without having to acknowledge their racial origin," the Times U.K. added.

Here's Cohen on video discussing "food whiteness in French culture," which she said also can be defined as "the use of food to reinforce whiteness as a dominant racial identity."

College and university are mostly producing human rot.

...suggested that French eating habits reinforce the "dominance" of white people over ethnic minorities... ...suggested that French eating habits reinforce the "dominance" of white people over ethnic minorities...

...suggested that French eating habits reinforce the "dominance" of French people over Foreigners who hate them and do not belong in France. There, fixed it.

That would be cultural appropriation. They want you to eat sawdust gruel and insects while they eat the fried meat and greens.

I always thought arugula was kind of uppity, but a big fave of the Obamas. How does that make sense in the racism of food?

[bk1000]

Let me see if I have this straight....I mean correct.

French cuisine is racist, as it contains zero influence from the rich and vibrant Wakandan culture.

If I eat a taco or some chop suey, it is considered cultural appropriation, and therefore racist.

I am coming to the conclusion that there is no racism. There are a great many people who blame all their troubles or inequities on their color rather than their ability.

________ is racist.

Only liberals may fill in the blank.

Collards are 90% awful, 1-10% heaven IMHO.

Few up where I live know how to prepare them properly. (Low and slow, transfer pork flavor then discard tasteless parts, use real cider vinegar to cut bitterness - mmm)

[Lazamataz]

Those eyes.

Stark, staring mad.

[liberalism is suicide]

The Left is obsessed with race. Now,what is the best word to describe those who are obsessed with race?

[epluribus_2]

I bet she believes Polish and Hungarian cuisine are full of hate since they also represent christian family values and anticommunism.

[thegagline]

Hey “professor,” inhaling is racist. Stop doing it.

[V_TWIN]

Yep...your a Yankee alright. Lol

[epluribus_2]

Stunning Truth. Will use a lot.

"...Cohen, who hails from the University of Connecticut School of Law...."

Proof that we have too damn many useless parasitic lawyers in the USA. Can't find enough things that offend them so they have to go abroad to market their crazy.

And hell yes, white Western Christian culture's food beats the hell out of bush meat, live bat soup, grubs, and larvae every time...ok, I'll concede that garlic buttered snails are the outlier.

[sauropod]

Sure does. Yikes!

[Uncle Miltie]

Lutefisk is a hate crime!

On a serious note - if you look hard enough for something you'll convince yourself it is there, regardless of the realities of the situation.

On the fun side - these loony leftists are a never ending source of humor. Oh sure, racism is a serious issue. Thanks to the left's having latched onto it as the cause du-jour it has become the joke of the day. "What will be 'found' to be racist today?"

The nice thing is, the left's entire world view and frame of reference is built on so many lies, so many inconsistencies, so much utter BS that they both need and produce as a byproduct a never ending stream of such insane claims. Do we really think virtually anything and everything is somehow racist? Do we really think there are 57 (and counting) genders? That Biden is in any way competent enough to even run a backyard barbeque? The left is a house of cards, mostly jokers.

[gcparent]

You are making me hungry.

[EC Washington]

She will find out that you do not mess with the French when it comes to food.

[Bon of Babble]

So many of her leftist ilk claim that we need mass immigration b/c it brings in loads of ethnic restaurant “us”
racists would never have.

Now eating traditional French food in France is racist?

These people used to be laughed at and mocked - and still should be - but now their whacky policies are taken deadly seriously and implemented in the name of “equity” and “restitution.”

We can’t live with or around these people.
