How did you get in my kitchen???
Making it easy to recycle by separating the inner plastic from the metal and drinking it, to help a little with the excess plastic waste?
Nice.
My favorite sandwich is a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich with guacamole. I call it a LGBT.
You forgot the quinoa.
Quinoa sounds awful on a sandwich, it’s gonna be all over the floor. Why not queso?
Because I’m not as smart as I hoped I would be by now. How’s it feel conversing with internet strangers who are too dumb to decide whether quinoa or queso would go better on a sandwich? Huh, mister smart guy? Not so tuff now that I’m asking the hard questions are you?
I am pretty hard now that you’re asking the tuff questions, if that counts.
I may have walked into that one, but I have to commend you for your witty ribaldry. Shakespeare would approve.
As long as he’s shaking his speare
The last time I was hanging out on Lemmy eating a fresh LGBTQ+ and had some of that white gooey Q running from the corner of my mouth into my beard, I had like 3 little sysadmins follow me home. Then my wife gets all weird and comes outside to shoo them away with a broom, yelling about how we already use Linux. And I’m like girl don’t be so hasty to run them off – see if you can borrow some of those thigh-high stockings first!
Does that mean no trans fats?
Yeah no more, we’re saturated
Dammit, I already bought a chicken top pie.
I’ll still let it be in my mouth.
I remember when quiche was considered gay food, ahh the old days
Quiche then: “What are you, some kinda homo? Gaaaaaaaay!”
Quiche now: “Bro, look, I meal prepped my breakfast for the week. Protien bro!”
Are hot dogs gay?
EDIT: Is erotically sucking on hot dogs gay?
EDIT 2: Asking for a friend. I don’t do that. I’m like super popular and cool and go on lots of dates.
EDIT 3: Still less horny than violet08
Are hot dogs gay?
Hot dogs, brauts, really any kind of sausage. Also zucchini, carrots, you better believe egg plants are right out.
We have traditional foods?
Contrary to what is thought where I grew up I’m gay because I want to eat pussy not because I eat tofu
Want to naked snuggle a tofu lady now ngl
I’ll continue to eat lesbeans to my heart’s content. You can pry my Bush’s from my cold, dead hands.
What the fuck is a queer food? I’m queer are bagel bites a queer food?
It’s just humorous rage bait.
Yeah It’s called playing into it my guy
No, but bagels are a lesbian food
It is known
soooo…is rainbow sherbet safe?
Only if you eat it in the closet
Wtf is it with these exclusionary people always have to “YOU CANNOY HAVE DREADLOCKS THST IS RACIST EHITE PEOPLE NEVER HAD DREADS” and nice, sweet things like these…
Fuck you, I do what I want to do and if you’re butt hurt because you don’t like my food them find a therapist
I hate the term “cultural appropriation”. I love it when people take interest and want to participate in my traditions! That’s what makes being a human fun!
Sure, sometimes buttfaces will make caricatures of my people, but they will do that anyways and no amount of PC policing will ever stop people who want to be jerks.
Cultural appropriation is something like McDonald’s advertising a new Indian burger and it’s just a beefburger with some chillies in it, i.e. someone’s attempting to gain from a bastardised caracature of the culture that wouldn’t be something someone from that culture would participate in. Right wing pundits intentionally misrepresented it as things like eating a traditional dish from another culture to make it sound stupid so people would dismiss it, and then people who’d only heard the misrepresentation but wanted to do the right thing or at least appear to be doing the right thing started acting like it was immoral to participate in any culture you weren’t born into.
I would call your example fusion cuisine, which is the best kind and an absolute win. I guess if I was feeling extra cynical I would call it pandering, but I still fail to see why it’s a bad thing.
Making a pan-Indian beef burger would be complicated at best.
The more common example would be misuse of native American war bonnets at music festivals and the like.
Because its someone (usually white) bastardizing/stealing your culture while making money off of it.
And how is it fusion when traditionally Indians don’t eat beef? Thats like calling a bacon cheese burger the Arab burger.
What do you think about t-shirts in Asia with bad English spelling, that resemble American colleges‘ designs.
Many Muslims and Christians in India eat beef. India is an extremely diverse country with many languages, cultures, and religions.
Btw. Indian Sadhus often sport dreadlocks as well. These are ascetic spiritual men, who do yoga all day, smoke weed, and live off donations.
It doesnt make sense to have a beef burger called an Indian burger.
You want a legit example of cultural appropriation? How about white ppl claiming for decades that rock and roll was invented by Elvis while he was ripping off Chuck Berry.
Or techno and house was invented in Europe?
Or the whole white girls in native head dresses mentioned below.
Or just Post Malone in general
I can keep going
Elvis
Is an actual good example.
Another example is Western Yoga. It repackages Indian philosophy, spirituality, and associated physical exercise as wholesome exotic exercise for western women. Yoga and eastern philosophy and spirituality has entered the West from the 19th century on. It has developed its own practices, distinct and separate from the Indian original, while retaining the vocabulary and exotic trinkets around it. I don’t hear many complaints about that though, neither from Indians, nor from the woke (for lack of a better concise term). Mindfulness meditation has completely done away with the exotic decorative elements.
It can be difficult to draw a line between cultural admiration, idea exchange, intercultural learning, and exploitative appropriation.
A related topic that gets no attention in the USA is cultural imperialism. The USA is so dominant culturally, it suppresses and even extinguishes local culture and languages around the world, including Western countries in Europe. That’s not only rap music, Hollywood, and blue jeans, it extends to philosophical and political ideology. Terms like PoC and white privileged are mindlessly copied to Europe. Even though anti Slavic prejudice is widespread in Western Europe, even though they are just as white, or even more blond and blue eyed (Poles and Baltics) than Western Europeans. Turks, Greeks, southern Italians, Lebanese, Cypriots, and Israelis basically look the same, but get treated differently. Still people try to shoehorn this into the term PoC, instead of developing their own models, that fit the reality in Europe. It becomes more problematic when using BIPoC, as lots of countries in Europe have indigenous majorities.
This cultural political dominance lead to huge protests during Black Lives Matter also in Europe, even though it’s a minor issue in Europe. Drowning refugees in the Mediterranean die in far higher numbers, than from police shootings. Black Europeans usually don’t have a history of being enslaved either. Most came from Africa by their own desire. (White European) Activists still rather reuse American ideas regarding this, instead of developing their own more fitting analysis.
By that logic you can’t call ppl out on anything because jerks are gonna be jerks. If ppl didnt call jerks out on their bullshit minstrel shows would still be a thing
Welcome participation in your culture is not appropriation. Appropriation happens when a tradition is taken and decontextualized from its original culture, adopted by mainstream culture, and changed to mean something else without buy-in from the originating culture.
You know your culture has been appropriated when some rando who isn’t even part of your culture explains to you how you’re wrong about your tradition because it doesn’t look like their mainstream version. For example, explaining to an Indian person that yoga is a physical exercise program where you continuously shift between isometric stretches.
It’s funny you chose that example. People forget (or are probably just completely unaware due to language barriers) that there are a ton of really kooky quack yoga gurus that were born in India, live their whole lives in India, and have a cult following of exclusively Indians. They say some absolutely batshit stuff and most Indians roll their eyes and mock them the same way that you do with the crunchy granola crowd here.
Sure, that happens and the two aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s kinda like the difference between a close family member shitting on your bed and some random tourist flying halfway around the world only to shit on your bed–it hits different.
Posts like this are proof positive of Dead Internet Theory, because surely no human could be this oblivious to an obvious joke
I have asked four black people I know about whites wearing dreadlocks. The answers ranged from my cousin‘s Nigerian wife; „Haha, nah, it’s fine.“ to my neighbor „That’s something only white women care about“.
It’s a step on the spiral of moral purity, that doesn’t actually improve the life of any black person.
As a black dude with dreads I don’t care about white ppl with dreads. I just need you all to stop assuming I’m rasta or I’ll sell you weed
Edit: white dudes with dreads are the biggest culprits and the MOST annoying about it
Ok, but do you have weed?
For reference, I look like John Lennon with longer hair and I definitely have weed. So the stereotype about me is 100% true.
Fuck you, I do what I want
And you will be heckled accordingly
kfc has quesadillas?
Idk all I do know is I want 2 of those
Boobs.
So no more morning bannas in my ass 😞
If you go down on the banana afterwards it cancels out the gay.
good to know
prepares Cock au Vin
Wait… what?
Dick with wine? Sounds like Friday night, amirite? Err… For straight women, obviously. And gay guys. And handsome prime numbers that… Nevermind.
No more muffellata munching for me
