You heard it here first folks, apparently North America's lust for cheap Chinese and Indian cuisines is actually another form of institutionalized racism. I guess economic forces are racist too.

Bonus points for the extra-large brush strokes regarding how people view ethnic food and how much they are willing to pay for said food.

poo poo like this is the reason people think PC culture has run amok. Eagerly awaiting an article describing in detail why using the Kama Sutra is cultural appropriation.

The writer sounds like a real "Jessica Dupre" OP.
And by that I mean they've gone searching for something to get offended about and zeroed in on something innocuous because all the good outrages were taken.

I went to Mexico once (the REAL Mexico, not some tourist trap city) for 3 days and I ate REAL Mexican food. The stuff people here in "The States" try to pass off as Mexican food is a joke and I laugh whenever someone says they 'love Mexican food'. Seriously, lol, you haven't even tried real Mexican food.

Last time I had fuh I paid $9 for what was a bowl of broth with a few strips of meat and not enough veggies to fill a table salad. Soup, if you will. I don't know how the restaurant owners get by on such slim margins.

As true as this is, that isn't what the article is complaining about.

The most frustrating argument it makes is that part of the racism comes from the fact that because much ethnic food is cheap in the States, that must mean that people see it as inferior. So apparently authenticity=high priced cuisine.

you can eat whatever you want so long as it doesn't upset the delicate sensibilities of the liberal media. I think five guys should be ok, but you might end up pissing off the vegan/gluten free set.

Really you can't win and should just stuff whatever garbage into your maw what fits there.

Poutine is almost french for whore, which makes it a sexist food. Best just to stick to the maple syrup.

Civilisations appropriate other cultures' food all the time. Without pasty white Limeys going to Yankeeland we would never have popularised tomatoes, and the greasy Italians couldn't have brought pizza over to the United States of Assholes. So nothing racist about it whatsoever imo
