Are you even thinking about oppression while you eat that taco?

According to Social Justice Internet, it's totally fine to enjoy foods from other cultures - as long as you don't call the food "authentic," act like it's out of the ordinary, or forget to get upset about Islamophobia every time you eat hummus.

I think the country has reached it’s limit with PC bullcrap and that is a great thing.

This made me laugh!

I believe that the yuppies are now being oppressed. Check out this $6 asparagus water at the Whole Foods. It's basically a jar of water with a few stalks of asparagus put in it and then marketed as a health tonic.

I feel that the yuppies at Whole Foods have been taken advantage of long enough. This is a call for action.

It would help if we had the strength to re-institute such punishments as the dunking stool, the whip, the stocks etc. I remind you that they were used at the time the constitution was drafted and thus assumed. They are NOT “cruel and unusual punishments” forbidden by the eighth amendment.

Looks like you’ve got the 4 food groups covered.

I’m curious if this little snowflake would be “offended” if she were dining with a tribe of Cannibals.

Caution: Eating ethnic food can cause micro-aggressive diarrhea.

Oh brother. To play this out fully, she wants everyone to eat only the foods they grew up with, have zero curiosity about other cultures’ foods, and to constantly focus on the worst possible situations.

Sorry. That is not American. We are positive, strong doers. We can eat what we like. We can say or think what we damn well like about the food. If we decide to think about Mexico while eating tacos, which is not a requirement, we have the freedom to think of that spring break in 92, our Mexican nanny, Mexicans taking over all the fast food jobs, the oppression of poor Mexicans by their own government, or anything we damn well want to think.

This country was built on freedom. Forcing political correctness on people is tyranny.

The only repression I worry about when eating a burrito is lower intestinal.

Has anyone ever lost a meal because blacks were slaves and Mexicans are peons? Has anyone lost a minutes sleep?

That’s too funny. Is that a guy? I think I saw him in the produce section last time I shopped there.

What is and is not permissible changes too often to be published. I’ve long suggested a stock ticker like display for PCism.
