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."

The Utter stupidity of liberals never ceases to amaze me
All cultural is racist.
So?
When did it become bad for people to have their own culture?
Kinda glad this whole “it’s racist” mentality has crawled out from under its slimy rock...just goes to show how berserk these people really are.
a White ‘female?’ lawyer studies mixing human milk
with placenta and eating it, becomes a professor
dictating and telling the French people their baguettes
and rolls are racist.
only in law schools would this be allowed.
Must bypass the croissants,must bypass the croissants...Grocery shopping will never be the same
It actually looks like she’s wearing a hospital gown. Maybe mental?
No collard greens?? You don’t know what’s good my friend.
Is eating with a fork racist too?
Thorizine is her friend
Those are just plain crazy eyes.
That's the whole point - who says Whitey is allowed to have a national identity?
The argument she raises is dumber than actually attacking the details of French cookery. Its that immigrants in France are subliminally encouraged to adopt French eating habits, because everyone around them is doing it.
But this happens in every country. Move to China or Japan and you will start eating like the Chinese and Japanese. Or in the US one starts eating “American”, hamburgers and steak, if one isn’t doing so already - thats the flip side if this, “cultural imperialism”.
And it applies just as much to Poles and Romanians in Paris as it does to Africans or Algerians.
Well, does that mean we have to leave off eating FRENCH FRIES.. I wonder what McDonalds is going to do.
My dream dinner always has been,and always will be,sirloin/prime rib,baked potato with butter,corn or broccoli (with butter) and some kind of cake or pie for dessert.
Come to think of it, White People should NOT be eating tortillas. This ROUND corn, was symbolic for the god of the Sun. We need to respect the cultural sensitivity that only people who worship the Sun should eat tortillas.
or maybe they just like the way it tastes
She is unfortunately but quite completely bat-crap crazy. Good Lord.
