Students at Oberlin College are so angered by the “insensitive†and “culturally appropriative†offerings at their Dascomb Dining Hall that they are filling screeds of protest in the school newspaper and even demanded a meeting with Campus Dining Service officials and the college president.
At issue are foods such as General Tso’s chicken being served with steamed chicken instead of fried — which is not authentically Chinese, and simply “weird,†one student bellyached.
Others were up in arms over Banh Mi Vietnamese sandwiches served with coleslaw instead of pickled vegetables on ciabatta bread — rather than traditional French baguette.

Not only that, but the sushi rice was undercooked in a way that was, according to one Japanese student, “disrespectful†of her culture.
That student, Tomoyo Joshi, a junior from Japan, was very offended by this flagrant violation of her rice.

Student gripes are even getting the attention of at least one national organization, at least relating to the school’s inclusion of beef in a traditional Indian tandoori.
“Consuming beef was considered sacrilegious among Hindus,†blasted Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, who has demanded meetings with school officials, according to the Chronicle-Telegram.

General Tso’s chicken is not a Chinese dish.
This was invented in US Chinese restaurants. As with most US “Chinese food”.
Yeah, and Banh Mi sandwiches can be pretty much anything.
I can’t help but wonder if the Oberlin students are trolling us here - it almost comes across as satire (though, with today’s college students, who the heck knows).
This is quite amazing actually.
Bad cooking is now a cultural slur or something.
I now know how to complain to restaurant managers !
Turning this around, all this complaining looks to me like an offense against the working class cafeteria operators by the upper class students. Its classism, that’s what it is.
I hope they keep it up, and the stupid colleges back themselves into a corner trying to deal with the monster they’ve created.
I thought pizza and Kraft Dinner were far more important food staples for students (at least back in my day they were, lol).
OK. So we need a law prohibiting people from buying, making, using or consuming anything that came from a culture or race other than their own.
So nobody who isn’t white can use, consume, make or buy any thing or process invented by a white person.
Lets start there.
Gen E, E for entitlement.
Look at how Obama-I think he gets some blame for this-has contributed to creating such a wussified perception of the US, that now foreign students think they can jump on this “micro-aggression” bandwagon.
Cup a soup and peanut butter crackers were my staple. Along with endless cans of Coke.
I and the First lady (who is black), happen to love fried chicken, collard greens and watermelon. Study question, is the First lady racist, or am I a racist?
We also like pan fried corn bread, and black eyed peas.

By these students standards the mexicans should have burned down all Taco Bells by now.
I assume that you mean Lena Dunham.
My rice have been violated for a long time.
I thought my rice were protected by the Constitution but they suffer from a lack of due process and have gotten quite soggy.
Ah, a new leftist meme... That there is Ricisss.
Flagrant ricism.
I think all colleges should immediately switch to fully self service food services. Students must prepare their own food products for themselves and others (after all, just preparing their own food would be selfish and insensitive.) Including preparing coffee beverages.
It will be the only thing on campus actually preparing students for their life after college where they will go into the job market with huge debt (and a gay black women’s studies degree) with actual marketable skills of being able to make pizzas, be a barista, or clean kitchens.
I’m offended by any article that uses the word “screed”
Maybe they ought to take a field trip to Somali, Ethiopia and South Sudan and then let me see how they ‘don’t like the food’..........................
I love your tag line. Do you remember Bill “The Big Whistle”
Chadwick yelling “Shoot the puck Barry”.
