Got to give NT credit, can turn anything into racism.
I wish places were more like New Zealand. Some countries seem so focused on racism, it's ridiculous. Like everything needs to be associated to race and then to an argument and god knows what else. I feel sorry for people of those countries.
Like it or not, the most obviously differentiating traits of human beings tends to be race. When I see a black person, the first thing I notice is that they're black. Not because i'm racist, but because their skin color is on the other side of the color spectrum from mine.
Also, in America we label our different foods by their country of origin. ie Chinese food, Japanese food, Mexican food, Jamaican food, etc etc. We refer to the foods by race, why wouldn't we associate them with race?
There's nothing more awkward than taking things that are already associated with race and pretending that they're not.
I'd like to retract my tangentOriginally Posted by DanzInRealLife

Your tangent wasn't what I meant. I'm referring to OP's original statement. Taking something like food and feeling ripped off or cheapened by the fact a certain country's food is made by someone not of that country. That's ridiculous. That's crossing the line.

I could be really bad at cooking traditional "white people" food but I could make a mean Mexican dish, right down to the last letter in the recipe. Does that misrepresent the foods origin? Or exploit it for that matter? I don't understand your logic if it does.
That's why I think it crosses lines; I might get a great amount of pleasure from cooking Mexican food but from what I think you're trying to say, my being white is exploiting/misrepresenting the food. And therefore I shouldn't cook it. Correct?
