Turns out French food — all those crunchy baguettes, tasty pastries, scrumptious cheeses, and fine wines — is racist, according to a law professor who studies "food whiteness" and "food privileges."

What are the details? The Times U.K. reported that a video of Mathilde Cohen discussing the issue for a seminar outside Paris is upsetting folks in France, as the paper noted that the country's cuisine is "seen as a cornerstone of the national identity."

Cohen, who hails from the University of Connecticut School of Law, suggested that French eating habits reinforce the "dominance" of white people over ethnic minorities, the Times U.K. said.

An academic paper that was part of Cohen's seminar asserts that France's "eating culture ... has been the central means of racial and ethnic identity formation through slavery, colonialism, and immigration. The whiteness of French food is all the more powerful in that it is unnamed, enabling the racial majority to benefit from food privileges without having to acknowledge their racial origin," the Times U.K. added.

Here's Cohen on video discussing "food whiteness in French culture," which she said also can be defined as "the use of food to reinforce whiteness as a dominant racial identity."

The real enemy of the “woke” movement is national identity which hinders global totalitarianism.

What if minorities in France really like French food? The French are known for their delicious cuisine, after all.

French cooking does have all that "white sauce" ...

And named after a white guy called Alfred (the Italian white sauce, that is).
