I read an article the other day discussing the origins of Nashville hot chicken. Along the way, the author wondered if it was appropriate for white people to enjoy the dish and wasn’t that cultural appropriation?
It...is...just...food.
Are we only going to let ethnic Italians eat pasta, or Chinese lo mein? Can a Latino enjoy a taco, but the rest of need go without on Tuesdays? If so, then the next time an African-American wants some mashed potatoes with Sunday dinner they better throw those Russets in the trash, because that food came from the land of pale skin. Hamburgers, frankfurters? Spit them out — that is whitey food. German at that.
See how blindingly dumb this “woke” stuff is?
For people who fought so long and so hard to end segregation, many sure are trying hard to bring that evilness back.
Everything is cultural appropriation.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, that's what made this country great. So it's no surprise that the people who wish to bring it low and destroy it are screaming about this sort of thing.
The response to any complaint about cultural appropriation should be a simple, "Fuck you. And the slime mold you rode in on."
