oh the humanity - college serves culturally appropriated foods

Am I misunderstanding this demand?

Since when is Africa in the Americas?

Clearly, we need to make sure that everyone only cooks and eats food that belongs to their culture. There must be no mixing, adaptation, or integration whatsoever.

Then we’ll have solved racism. Right?

When I first read about the protest demanding more fried chicken, my immediate thoughts were 1.) this has to be a well-crafted satire article or 2.) are the reporters certain that wasn’t a counter protest from some racist group.

Since Pangaea.

That was a horribly written document. I couldn’t understand the half of it. And here I thought I had bad English skills.

If they’re objecting to badly-made imitations of other cultures’ foods, I’m pretty sure instant ramen noodles are out.

So, for that matter, is pizza and macaroni. :wink:

Seriously, what’s with that? Does it celebrate the heritage of General Rommel’s Afrika Korps?

The quoted is named Farrakhan, you tell me is she tans.

Portlandia called, they want their sketch back.

Little know fact. Rommel’s Buffalo wings were the bomb.

except instant ramen noodles were invented in Japan.

unless your point is that they’re a badly-made imitation of Chinese noodles.

Ramen is a poorly made imitation of food.

I always thought they were a poor imitation of MATTER.

By an ethnic Taiwanese guy. But America still claims it by creating the post-war rationing needed to make it necessary? :dubious:

It’s Oberlin, you can go anywhere on that campus and find a Portlandia sketch occurring. I don’t think you could find a more liberal college anywhere.

If they can cook using fermented fish sauce, that’ll be the day.

Actually, it was apparently invented in Taiwan. At least according to this documentary: http://www.thesearchforgeneraltso.com/

This is, or at least was, on Netflx and it’s actually pretty entertaining.

No, Angkor Wat is in Cambodia.

Or check the link?

The instant shit that most Americans are familiar with, yes. Head for a good Japanese restaurant, and you’ll get the real deal. It’s like comparing Lipton’s instant Cup-O-Soup with the chicken noodle soup that your grandma might have made.

To be fair, Asians eat plenty of instant shit too. One of the Asian markets I shop in The Strip District has a whole aisle of nothing but instant ramen. Every time I go there, I see Asian people loading up on the stuff. I usually pick up a few packages myself, often based on packaging art since they aren’t all labelled in English. The products themselves are typically no better or worse than the instant ramen sold in mainstream US grocery stores. The only real difference is that stuff labelled as spicy will actually be quite peppery. The little envelopes of desecrated vegetables and such truck that some of them include are fun in a playing with your food way, but they don’t really add much flavor or texture.
