'Indian food is terrible' tweet sparks hot debate about racism
h/t Instapundit[BBC] "Indian food is terrible and we pretend it isn't," said international affairs professor Tom Nichols. Critics called his comment a tasteless generalisation. The remark led to a wider discussion of the immigrant experience and how many in the US have experienced racism in relation to food. Mr Nichols - who teaches at the US Naval War College in Rhode Island - posted his opinion after another Twitter user had asked for "controversial food opinions". ...First-generation American Saira Rao wrote: "Having white people trash Indian food is extremely triggering as an Indian who has been told that I smell weird, that my food smells weird and that Indians [expletive] on the street which is why everything we are smells bad." Comment cited by Instapundit Any white man who doesn’t like Indian food is a genocidal racist. Any white man who likes Indian food is guilty of cultural appropriation and is no better than Hitler. Take your pick. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2019-11-26 |
