Re: Eating other ethnicities' foods = cultural appropriation
Time for some self-flagellation as punishment for major appropriation here.... Brazilian/Portuguese churrasco.... American fajitas.... that's cultural appropriation of Mexican food that isn't Mexican.laklak wrote:Tonight is churrasco steak fajitas.

That's species appropriation from rabbits and horses.

Whatever other faults they have, they are highly unlikely to produce food with any bacterial issues, unlike places where the food lies around in warmers for ages. Fast turn-over and pretty clean conditions = no tummy bugs...

Maybe someone accidentally delivered them beef meat patties, and now they have to clean out the stores to get rid of the bad KarmaScot Dutchy wrote:Well dont eat them in Dehli. 43 of the 55 McDonald's had to close.

Re: Eating other ethnicities' foods = cultural appropriation
https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/ ... stice.htmlLet’s talk about the right way to appropriate, because we all do it. Ideas aren’t free when Tim Carman writes them for The Washington Post, so I’m not sure why they should be free when a dozen abuelas who make tortillas in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico are interviewed by two white women from Portland. Granted, recipes are hard to legally copyright and these abuelas may not have worried about protecting their intellectual property, but a culturally respectful thing for Kooks to do would have been to go back and deeply explore the food over time, profit-share or pay for recipes, set up a foundation or scholarship for street food vendors and their children, and/or even post their photos and stories on the Kooks cart to give them credit so they could augment their own success. It’s not always what you do, but how you do it. I would’ve loved to have supported a delicious Kooks cart if I felt like I could get with what they were doing, but what they essentially did was use abuelas as free consultants and teachers. Folks would charge $100 an hour or more for that kind of consulting in New York.
Yeah, but...that's not what the Progressive "justice" brigade did. They didn't go after the "white" women and say "hey, you owe those Mexican women you got the recipes from a royalty and other compensation..." What they did was declare it improper and racist for white women to make tacos, and drove them out of business.
So, this lady tries to say "no no no no" this is not about stopping people from making food outside their culture, and maybe it isn't for her, this particular writer. But, it's not unfair to conclude that the Progressive social justice movement is about stopping the white women from making the tacos. Because that's what they did.
You don't have to be western or privileged to understand that. People often take ideas from one culture and bring them back to their own, or to another culture, because the novelty of it. The food industry is competitive. And, there's nothing wrong with having money and connections. This is not a "problem" that "we" have to "solve," because it's not a problem, nor is it anyone else's business in a free society what other people do with their money and connections, within the law. Everyone who wants to succeed in business would do well to make connections. If you don't have them, make them.How Western and privileged do you have to be to not understand how American and privileged you are to take this impromptu Christmas trip to Mexico and “borrow” all these recipes and eat unlimited $5 tortillas with a side of lobster and then bring them back and have a food cart pop-up so soon after? It’s because you have money and connections.
Nobody said it wasn't. And, a cook can take an existing food and make a derivative type of food from it, fuse it with other influences, or take it in a new direction. Nothing wrong with that. Intellectual property exists within certain confines, but being born Mexican doesn't mean you have a right to be paid if white people make tacos. It's this weird, muddled, vague thinking that bothers me aobut this social justice crowd.So it’s not that you can’t cook a food. In most cases, no one will (or even can) stop you from doing whatever you want to, especially if you have the money and power to do. But don’t pretend you invented it, Columbus. The “New World” was already here and doing just fine when you arrived.

Re: Eating other ethnicities' foods = cultural appropriation
I really can't accept that "cultural appropriation" matters to anyone other than an exceedingly tiny and fucking confused collection of losers. I know debate is good and all that, but giving them respectful(ish) exposure is silly. Just take the piss out of them.
