“The fruit tree was imported from Europe and imposed upon the natives.”

One could argue that people were also “imposed upon the natives”, but Mr. Patel doesn’t have the courtesy to end his own imposition. Instead he imposes hateful books upon the natives.

Erasing traditions and encouraging division is all part of their plan. Not that all of these SJWs understand what is really going on. Many of them are useful idiots.

Food injustice? Not too sure. But there is no question there is total “social justice” when it comes to cell phones, sneakers, and the like.

Leave it to progressive demagogues to find a way to tear down this cultural icon.

And THAT is the point of all this woke bullshit where everything is some kind of "ist".

Tear down, destroy, cancel all that is traditionally and culturally American. Once you know that it's hard not to see it.

>>In an article in the Guardian, he claims the apple has nothing American about it. The fruit tree was imported from Europe and imposed upon the natives. Its introduction was part of “a vast and ongoing genocide of indigenous people.”

Damn you, Johnny Appleseed!

For the children, the true expression being butchered here is, “As American as Mom, Baseball, and ApplePie.” The author shortened that to “Mom’s ApplePie”. Perhaps the writer is not an American. You can’t just pull your own expression out of thin air and then use it to expound upon your agenda. That’s just crazy talk.

>>What it boils down to, is that anything traditional is racist.

What it boils down to is that the cultural marxists want their bloody revolution and to bury and prohibit all memory of the past.

Oh yeah? Well your stupid potatoes were imported into MY ancestors' country with disastrous and genocidal results.

Unemployed college kids have way too much time on their hands, so they come up with this malarkey.

I wonder what causes these imbeciles to sit in their offices and dream up these ridiculous arguments against normal people and their traditions and crafts?

They’re attention whores, and in today’s click-bait, selfie-posting, zero-think society, the more outrageous the statement, the more likely it will rise above the din.

They must lead dark, sickening, useless and worthless lives.

Not satisfied with that, they want you to lead one too.
