"If you feel the AUTHOR of the article is guilty of generalization...I agree..."

Fine. (I actually think she is delusional.)

But you also stated: "This is not an isolated opinion from feminists but an encompassing worldview from all the left;"

I would suggest that like the article, your statement is also a generalization.

Yeah, I like to laugh at the rightwing nutsucker propaganda sites and the feebleminded nutsuckers who believe they are anything but hallucination, and I also like the chinese buffet here in town.

I agree...she DOES have a dumb opinion and the editors DID publish blatantly biased bullshit.

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.

Normal people give no more of a crap about the twisted weirdo thinking of the radical left than they do about the twisted weirdo thinking of the radical right.

Calm down and eat your burrito guilt free.

(And if you want to piss off all the crazy radicals . . . buy some burritos for a gay couple.)

Yeah. I see an Asian woman writing not about feminism, but about 'Asian' food and how people might think that she is an expert say, in Korean foods, and what's 'authentic' like she is supposed to be an expert because she is part asian.

Or that she would be an expert on her own brand of Asian food, just because she is Asian, and tell you what is 'authentic', because just like any other ethnicity, some like it one way, there are some like it another, and thats why there are thousands of recipes on the net for lefse.

I think she is forwarding the typical proposition if you ain't a nutsucker then you are a 'rino'.

So, enjoy your ethnic food, but as for her, you may ask her who she thinks makes good noodles in the neigborhood, but dont ask her who makes authentic dim sum, because she dont know, and she dont give a fuck.

Just like this?
