Looks like the next time you're really craving Chinese you're going to get a side order of 'racist' from the far-left.
Insanely left-wing website “Everyday Feminism” has written a guide titled “Being a Foodie Without Being Culturally Appropriative”.
We managed to stomach up the will-power to go through the 'guide' so you don't have to. Hat tip to Daily Wire.
It begins by saying, “Mainstream media has made a spectacle out of foods from seemingly exotic places. I’ve also observed a lot of White chefs create “Asian-inspired” dishes. When going out to eat, I notice many “Asian-fusion” themed restaurants where chefs combine all the countries and flavors in the vast and diverse continent of Asia and throw them together on both plate and menu.”
Sounds like the embodiment of tossed salad multiculturalism. Does the left have a problem with that all of a sudden?

The writer, Rachel Kuo, continues a few paragraphs down, “It’s frustrating when my culture gets consumed and appropriated as both trend and tourism.”
She rambles on, “When it comes to food, what’s appropriation and what’s not can be tricky to think about. Cultural appropriation is when members of a dominant culture adopt parts of another culture from people that they’ve also systematically oppressed. The dominant culture can try the food and love the food without ever having to experience oppression because of their consumption.”
So, you got all that? Trying tasty ethnic food is bad because you've never experienced oppression. I guess we should just let sushi and Mexican places go out of business.

“But, food is appropriated when people from the dominant culture – in the case of the US, white folks – start to fetishize or commercialize it, and when they hoard access to that particular food. When a dominant culture reduces another community to it’s cuisine, subsumes histories and stories into menu items – when people think culture can seemingly be understood with a bite of food, that’s where it gets problematic.”
Since when do only white people eat ethnic food? Can black people not like Asian food?
She then proceeds on with the 'guide' providing a step-by-step process of how not to be a racist when wanting to eat.
Step four titled “loving the food, not the people” states, “America has corporatized “Middle Eastern food” like hummus and falafel, and some people might live by halal food carts, but not understand or address the ongoing Islamophobia in the US.”
Needless to say, this guide is a good way to lose your appetite if you're trying to lose weight.

Does Ms Kuo not realise that she has appropriated our language? From her name, I would have to ask, does she use forks? Wear Western clothes? Does she use Western designed showers and baths or does she wash by a stream or river? Does she eat Western style food?
I feel that her writing using a Western language, and probably a Western invented computer (or pen or typewriter) she has appropriated my culture without having lived the creation of the Magna Carta and Western history. I feel so violated!

When someone declares themselves to be a “feminist”….they have made a career investment in being chronically dissatisfied….and THAT makes an ideal partnership with modern “Journalism”…..think about it…….:-)
THE BIG BAD BOOGEYPERSON IS A CULLINARY IMPERIALIST!!!!
Big deal…
That is the real bigoted Misogynist attitude to think the modern modern Feminist represents the typical woman.
Stephen Harper did so, as he gave $100,000 to the Pro-Feminist White Ribbon campaign, which is nothing but a male bashing campaign labeling all men as inherently violent toward women.
Ironically, it was because such Male Politicians idiotically chose to believe what Feminists claimed to do, instead of actually judging their actions, thus refused to give such Feminists equality by making accountable for their sexism, female chauvinism and misandry (men hatred), like their sexist, male chauvinistic, misogynist male equivilant are thankfully made accountable today, which caused Marc Lepine to take matters into his own hand and kill 10 innocent women he thought were guilty Feminist, effectively making making martyrs of such sexist, female chauvinistic men haters.
Real brainacs and bigots these male politicians are in continuing to believe Feminists represent the typical female, when the typical female does not prove a mental case like Lepine continually right by “wanting to have their cake and eat it too” as what Lepine accurately stated about Feminists
Using that mentality, it might be better to just leave them at home in Syria.
