Libs Gone Insane: Cultural Appropriation, the Ultimate Sin
CNS News ^ | 16 September 2016 | Dan Gainor

Posted on 09/18/2016 3:17:35 PM PDT by Lorianne

The Foes Of Faux Pho: Bon Appétit’s readers might have noticed a recent piece that was originally called: “PSA: This Is How You Should Be Eating Pho.” The story included a video of Philadelphia’s Stock chef Tyler Akin. Stock serves Southeast Asian food and Tyler has a problem, he’s white. The video showed how he eats Pho. And that’s a no-no. The HuffPo thought police responded with, “Why The Outrage Over Bon Appétit’s Pho Article Is Completely Justified.” Not just “justified,” but “completely justified.” They proceeded to quote every idiot they could find who was angry that a white guy might be an expert in something that white people didn’t invent. One site even called it “whitesplaining.” Bon Appétit went grovelling and responded “how we screwed up and what we can do about it.” Actual quote: “While Akin mentions in the video that he’s demonstrated his personal, preferred way of consuming pho, the outlet’s packaging still positioned him as an authority.” This is America 2016. It’s controversial to have a white chef make ethnic food. But no one on the left refuses to use electricity or the telephone because scary old white men were involved in their invention.

Dying To Get Your Death Suit: Forget the coffin. Skip that pair of pennies on your eyes, those aren’t recyclable. No, you need an environmentally friendly death suit. It’s only $999. You only wish I was kidding. The whackjobs who brought you Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth produce all sorts of lefty propaganda. Their site Take Part wants your whole life -- even your death -- sustainable. I’ll let the author’s actual quote help me out. “With the rise of electric cars, sustainable architecture, eco-friendly diets, composting, and countless other options, forging a sustainable life is often as easy as it is trendy. Now it’s even easy after death thanks to a bodysuit made from a decidedly old-school material: mushrooms.” But wait, there’s more! Your death suit isn’t just a way to turn your carcass into a mushroom farm, it’s fashionable, too! Actual quote: “Although the mushroom suit provides a cost-effective alternative, the goal is to do so without losing the beauty of the process. The suit itself is a work of art thanks to designers such as Daniel Silverstein, who has designed clothing for Jennifer Hudson and Kristen Bell.” And you thought you were only kidding when you said you were dying to wear clothes just like the stars.

OK, only white people can go to medical school and practice “western medicine”.

Let’s just skip to the bottom line. Econazis want a global population of under 2 billion. They are fine with 5 billion deaths. That makes all this other stuff just meaningless fluff.

I suppose you could make the case we gave it already, but the next idiocy might be something along the lines of “nature appropriation.” Hence, electricity would be a no-no. It’s naturally created, and we should not hijack it for our own selfish purposes.

Unfortunately, the LIB moonbats (fearing they would eventually be committed to them) closed most of the mental hospitals in the 60’s and 70’s under the guise of individual rights.

He should make a follow up video where he squats over a dirty hole in the ground to show how to properly dispose of pho without using modern “white” toilets.

I think that’s fair. It follows logically after all.

And only white people can receive Western medical care too.

Fine, I will do without ethnic food if the SJWs give up flush toilets, indoor plumbing, electricity, computers, airplanes, televisions, electronics, cars, antibiotics, the Internet, etc., etc., etc.

P.J. O'Rourke wrote about bathrooms in Vietnam. Also water quality, paved roads, and other things we cultural-nullities take for granted.

I have occasionally floated the theory that you can have an interesting native culture, or you can have a working sewage system. People have called me names, but they've never offered much evidence contra.

After the discovery of Thorazine. The politcos thought we ended mental illness. Part of the utopian mind set of the left.

They created the homeless.

The most common figure I’ve heard over the last 30 or so years had been 90 to 100 million.

The only appropriate response to such idiots, is mocking laughter.

The worst is public “traditional” toilets in Japan. A hole in the ground with a T-bar to hold on to when you squat.

Not everyone hits their mark. Unbelievable.

(Although Vietnam may have something similair.)
