Two professors from San Diego State University claim in a new book that farmers’ markets in urban areas are weed-like “white spaces” responsible for oppression.

Pascale Joassart-Marcelli and Fernando J Bosco are part of an anthology released this month titled “Just Green Enough.” The work, published by Routledge, claims there is a correlation between the “whiteness of farmers’ markets” and gentrification.

“Farmers’ markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized,” the SDSU professors write, the education watchdog Campus Reform reported Wednesday.

There was that book called “Things White People Like” ... it’s true.

Here are some things white people like:

#23 Microbreweries
#22 Having Two Last Names
#21 Writers Workshops
#20 Being an expert on YOUR culture
#19 Traveling
#18 Awareness
#17 Hating their Parents
#16 Gifted Children
#15 Yoga
#14 Having Black Friends
#13 Tea
#12 Non-Profit Organizations
#11 Asian Girls
#10 Wes Anderson Movies
#9 Making you feel bad about not going outside
#8 Barack Obama
#7 Diversity
#6 Organic Food
#5 Farmer’s Markets
#4 Assists
#3 Film Festivals
#2 Religions their parents don’t belong to
#1 Coffee

It’s OK by me.

I don’t know how they can say this when so many Americans of African Descent received $50,000 from Obama for raising make believe pigs.

They probably sell their make believe bacon at farmers markets to liberals.

there will be a funnier one coming along any day now.

Seriously, Mears.

I don't watch cartoons anymore, since I'm growed. Now I watch liberals.

(Just kidding. I'm binging on F is for Family as we speak. I'm such a liar.)

Sunday Brunch should be on the list.

Remember the BLM crowd spoiling brunches in NYC a couple of years ago——because they are a “white thing”.

After 8 years of the America hating, homosexual mohammaden the only thing “normalized” is racism against White people.

They sell Watermelons at the Farmers Market.

It’s all I can think off.

”Farmers’ markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized,” the SDSU professors write...”

Considering that Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey shut down a few months ago, I think the market for clown colleges is over-saturated. It’s clear from this comment that SDSU serves no other purpose.

Pascale Joassart-Marcelli and Fernando J Bosco are raving madmen bent on "normalizing" lunacy.

How can anyone hope to write satire today? Daily, the real-world insanity outstrips the wildest imagination of any sane person.

Here’s a thought: you don’t like what’s being sold at Farmers’ Markets, don’t buy it!

These professors should be beaten about the head with a Brussel Sprout.

Hah! They should be flogged mercilessly, then put in the pillory.

Outside the Farmers' Market.

Where passers-by can pelt them with rocks and garbage.

And spoiled produce.

From the Farmers' Market.

Normalize THIS, bitches!
