Heil Hitler, just in case we lose, hah?

Even WC Fields would joke that he $10,000 in Berlin...'in case that SOB gets lucky'

Hell, why not, AT&T, Ford Motors, Standard Oil of NJ, just to name a few, (granddaddy BUSH) had millions invested in the 3rd Reich. How in the fuck do people think that crazy corporal paid WWI reparations...AND made war. Wars are a racket, war on countries, war on drugs, war on poverty and yes, wars on culture.

the day whoever wrote the first OP becomes important enough to decide what direction the world is going to take, Fuck the article, and fuck the ignorance
Dumb fucking opinion and blatantly bias bullshit
I agree...she DOES have a dumb opinion and the editors DID publish blatantly biased bullshit.


once again pretending to be ignorant and misreading my comment, I meant this...... exactly....

quote:

Cancel your dinner plans at that new Mexican restaurant down the street for Friday’s date night; since according feminists: eating “authentic” “ethnic” food is “culturally appropriative” and exploitative.

If you’re not fluent in the leftist-language these days, Everyday Feminists has thankfully defined “cultural appropriation” for you: “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.”

"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,” continued the insane author.

Basically, by eating “ethnic” food (note: the author excluded German, French and Italian as ethnic because it’s “still connected to ethnic roots,” or something?) without experiencing every other part of that culture, including the “oppression” you have seemingly caused to said culture, then you are guilty of “appropriating” and freezing “a culture in a particular place in time.”

Additionally, the author charged Westerners with “profiting from oppression,” “loving the food, and not the people” and solely looking to score “adventure points” from eating ethnic foods.

So, if you wish to broaden your horizons and become open to other ethnicities through their unique food in the form of appreciation or celebration, you will be condemned as exploitative (if you’re part of that “white folk” group anyway). Presumably, the left would like “white folk” to eat only “white folk” food.



But wouldn’t that make you xenophobic? And confusion mounts the more the left speaks.

This is not an isolated opinion from feminists but an encompassing worldview from all the left; for instance, a university in Canada has just “suspended” free yoga classes held on campus since yoga is now a form of “cultural appropriation.” (This was discussed at length on The Daily Wire’s podcast posted yesterday.)

The left has officially gone mad. Being open to other cultures and sharing in their customs is now oppressive – again, only if you’re white.


Fucking ignorant. bullshit.
Im nowhere in the least surprised you posted it...or tried to deflect it from my comment about YOUR post itself.
yanno, JUST to make myself clear.


The original piece by Ms. Kuo is bullshit. The article I posted originally has an author guilty of generalization. I posted no original words of my own until the second post.

You can call the fact that I posted it "bullshit" all you want. It is no more bullshit than some of the other articles brought here.

But do tell...which is guilty of more bullshit, in your opinion? The author of the OP who uses the article to point out the insanity of the "entire" left and is therefore guilty of generalization? Or the feminist who wrote the tortured article in the first place and the staff at the publication who preached it?

Neither.
The one that gets my vote would be the one who thought it was worth repeating and posting on a forum!! [:-]




Lucylastic -> RE: But Damnit! I LIKE Ethnic Food (11/25/2015 11:48:33 AM)

no, the REAL world has REAL problems, not bullshit arguments against a personal blog with ONE chick who fed up of ignorant assholes.
You post a guy who ONLY makes ignorant fucking associations with the "left" and "feminists" pathetic.
Yes YOU posted it... you may not have commented on it in your first post.. but you offered it up for what?
Is it supposed to be as ignorant as anything the fucking presidential candidates come up with? As ugly?
Why are you more concerned with what one chick feels is ignorant and praising another moron coming up with "generalizations" he cant cash?
WHy not the people at daily wire who gave the thumbs up to okand post the shit commentary from your first post. and the dumbarses that think its fair and balanced.

I'll expect to see your judgments then on any article brought to the forum to start a thread?

By the way, I don't recall placing the question directly to you...

Given my participation in other threads of more substance than this, I'd be hard-pressed to state that I'm more concerned with this than other, more substantive threads.

I brought it here because I was amused at both articles...the one that brought the inanity to my attention and the original for its inanity all the way through. I was also amused at the ego of someone from the left...writing for a leftist publication...telling me how I am appropriating someone's culture by eating their food.

I brought it forth because I don't see why something that reflects stupidity on the part of SOME on the left can't be put forward in the same manner as something about stupidity from SOME on the right is brought forward. Or are you going to yell me that doesn't happen? Or that it doesn't get generalized to include the entire right?

You are beyond insane.

If I used your logic, that would then mean all doms--in fact, anyone interested in bdsm--are insane, and all of them are right wing, and therefore all right wingers are insane, simply because one idiot wrote something stupid.

And you are beyond arrogant and a clue... If you can find anywhere in this thread where I...me myself...have said all left wingers are anything, point it out.

While you're doing that, you might want to save your condescending explanation of logic to those who do follow the course of logic you present. I can think of one fowl example and one example of someone obsessed with perverse oral habits.

Just shaking my head over your inability to read...especially the posts where I've said the entire OP were the words of someone else. If you'd gone to the cite, you'd have discerned that.

As I said, save your preaching about thinking all in one class are the same for those that believe it. I gave you two examples who can be found regularly posting in that fashion.

Given that the "borrowed" language was offered without comment, I think many folks took your posting it as an endorsement of the views stated.

Was that not what you meant? If not, what was?

I don't think it has anything to do with Feminism, or the Left generally. It seem to be more an obsession of moonbat "social justice warriors". There was a big stink a while back at the Museum of Fine Arts over kimonos...

“We actually do not quite understand what their point of protest is,” said Jiro Usui, the Deputy Consul General of Japan in Boston. “We tried to listen to those people who are protesting, but we think together with the MFA we should encourage that Japanese culture be appreciated in a positive way.” ~Boston Globe

An opinion piece published in the Japan Times noted:

Japanese social media briefly lit up in exasperation and bewilderment. People were mystified that anyone could accuse a kimono try-on event of being racist or imperialist. Few comprehended the identity politics assumptions driving the protesters. Some right-wing nationalists assumed they were anti-Japanese Chinese and Korean agitators. ~Japan Times.

The latest "cultural appropriation" is apparently Yoga...

Student leaders have pulled the mat out from 60 University of Ottawa students, ending a free on-campus yoga class over fears the teachings could be seen as a form of "cultural appropriation." Jennifer Scharf, who has been offering free weekly yoga instruction to students since 2008, says she was shocked when told in September the program would be suspended, and saddened when she learned of the reasoning... "People are just looking for a reason to be offended by anything they can find," said Scharf. ~Ottowa Sun

There seems a reasonable point to be made against using the traditions and dress of another culture with the intent to be cruel or mocking, but this kind of shit is a parody of it.

Why is segregating cultures/people all of a sudden a GOOD thing?

I'm just glad this asinine bullshit wasn't going on in the 20s and 30s. I like Pizza.

Question:

Why is there even a picture of President Obama in the article? He has absolutely nothing to do with the story.

Never stop asking yourself, what's being sold with what I'm being told?




blnymph -> RE: But Damnit! I LIKE Ethnic Food (11/26/2015 9:19:29 AM)

there is hardly a specific "right" or "left" idiocy

only idiocy - in abundance, and sometimes contagious ...
