Re: Eating other ethnicities' foods = cultural appropriation
Speaking of concept creep, going from adding the words "gender identity and gender expression" as grounds of discrimination to the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code to "this kills freedom of speech" ranks right up there with the best. Turns out that concept creep is what right wing nut jobs excel at. Another thing they are good at is to deny that they are right wing nut jobs.

This isn't about the particular pronoun, it's about that fact that you if you address a court official using an incorrect pronoun you could be held in contempt.Scot Dutchy wrote:Why?

Some folks confuse "white majority" with "white supremacy." http://reason.com/blog/2017/05/23/someo ... ic-restaurWeek after week people of color in Portland bear witness to the hijacking of their cultures. Several of the most successful businesses in this town have been birthed as a result of curious white people going to a foreign country. Now don’t get me wrong: cultural customs are meant to be shared. However, that’s not what happens in this city.

Well, if I understood them it's okay for you to cook it, you just can't sell it because then you'd be competing in a market that's not for you.

Re: Eating other ethnicities' foods = cultural appropriation
Robertson is likely a libertarian and not strictly definable in terms of left and right as he seems to rail against aspects of both. He may seem right wing due to his outstated bigotry, but bigotry isn't the sole purview of either the right or left.Hermit wrote:Speaking of concept creep, going from adding the words "gender identity and gender expression" as grounds of discrimination to the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code to "this kills freedom of speech" ranks right up there with the best.

Bunch of Arabs owning pizza joints around here...and every Dunkin Donut shop seems to be run by Hindu Indians these days. The "Japanese" sushi joint I go to has a flippin' Korean sushi chef serving me at the sushi bar. There was literally a Chinese guy serving me a hamburger at McDonalds the other day.

Oh, just look at that - another blog. I wonder why it's filed under "Opinion" - In fucking red letters right above the title of the piece, so you don't fucking miss it.Forty Two wrote:LOL - http://rightnow.org.au/opinion-3/cultur ... tion-food/ It's coming, Ozzies...it's coming...
I kind of understand people getting pissed off when others muscle in on their cultural heritage they might want to make money on themselves. Chanel copped some flak from some Australian Aborigines last week when it marketed its own boomerang - for AU$1930.
In my view Chanel was aiming at a completely different market. If anything, it might have served as positive publicity for the much cheaper Australian product, though it wouldn't surprise me if most boomerangs sold in Australian tourist traps were made in China. Almost all those cuddly koala bear toys are.

Re: Eating other ethnicities' foods = cultural appropriation
I make a couple of versions. If you've got a deep fryer (or haven't dumped the oil from last night) then fry up cod chunks (I love cod) in beer batter. Roll them in the tortilla with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, some jalapenos, bit of onion, shredded cheese, and some hot sauce. Or you can grill the fish and do the same. Then there's sloppy ones - cook the fish in chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, peppers, etc. till the fish flakes. This one is good for hard taco shells. And best of all, hard taco shells aren't cultural appropriation, 'cuz they're Tex-Mex.pErvin wrote:Just slap a fish inside a taco?

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
