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."

I love racist food. YUMMMMM!
“use real cider vinegar to cut bitterness...)
My wife says give a 1/4 cup of sugar a try en lieu of the cider vinegar.
Laz would. I might, I’ve been married to worse...
Whale blubber.
It’s not just for dinner.
The other white meat.
You can be racist with this cookbook. It has recipes that I can handle. Good eating.
Anything not specifically black or brown culture is racist.
No. just plain awful.
Same thing for German, Polish, English, etc. Generally all European ethnic food would be considered white.
The only thing white about ethnic Asian food is the rice. And if French food was really all about "white", they would do something about that mustard.
From now on, French people will confine their culinary choices to Watermelon, Chitterlings, Collard Greens, and Fried Chicken.
NO CHATEAUBRIAND FOR YOU!!!!
Violators of this directive will be executed by guillotine.
I don’t see many colored people asking for this kind of cringy behavior from neurotic white liberals - it’s something white liberals do by themselves and for themselves. Weird, demented performance art.
I can’t even get my head around what she’s talking about.
Bottom line, because it’s of whites, it’s racist.
I guess all great achievements in the world are racist, too.
That’s not a dream dinner. That’s just my standard. Like, but not love.
It’s MD crabs for me. Next, sauerkraut and meatballs. Something out of the ordinary.
Weak looking vegetarian lib woman, as usual. I bet she has that honky whiny voice too.
Time to ban phrases that might offend people of color:
Sacre Bleu
Cordon Bleu
Blanche Dubois
La Vie en Rose
Yep, batsh!t crazy.
It’s called, “When in Rome….do as the Romans do.”
She wouldn’t know anything about gastronomy. Look at her, she’s a vegan or eats all her meals at Taco Bell. That’s why she wrote this tripe, of which I didn’t read, she’s mental, lonely and in need of some…
Arugula is bitter and only good blended with something else. Yes, it does remind me too of #44.
French fries? Pfffffft...
They are truely Belgian Fries. A french fry would be like a Five Guys, cut the potato and it hits the grease fresh.
Any potato fry product that’s been frozen and precooked a little bit, and then refried crispy is by definition a Belgian fry. Belgian fries are also eaten with mayonnaise and not catsup.

No more french fries at Mickey D’s or Popeye’s.
