Babies At Oberlin College Are Mad That The On-Campus Food Isn’t Culturally Sensitive Enough

Is it too much to hope that the Cult of Social Justice will just starve itself out of existence at this point?

According to this, the usual suspects at Oberlin College are complaining that the ethnic cuisine served on campus isn’t cooked “right” – at least, not how they say it should be cooked in keeping with the cultural traditions where the food originates. So, of course, a grievance meeting MUST be convened with the college president. Who I’m SURE doesn’t have anything better to do. From the article –

Students at Oberlin College are so angered by the “insensitive” and “culturally appropriative” offerings at their Dascomb Dining Hall that they are filling screeds of protest in the school newspaper and even demanded a meeting with Campus Dining Service officials and the college president.

 

At issue are foods such as General Tso’s chicken being served with steamed chicken instead of fried — which is not authentically Chinese, and simply “weird,” one student bellyached.

 

Others were up in arms over Banh Mi Vietnamese sandwiches served with coleslaw instead of pickled vegetables on ciabatta bread — rather than traditional French baguette.

 

[…]

Not only that, but the sushi rice was undercooked in a way that was, according to one Japanese student, “disrespectful” of her culture.

 

That student, Tomoyo Joshi, a junior from Japan, was very offended by this flagrant violation of her rice.

 

“When you’re cooking a country’s dish for other people, including ones who have never tried the original dish before, you’re also representing the meaning of the dish as well as its culture,” Joshi told the Review.

 

“So if people not from that heritage take food, modify it and serve it as ‘authentic,’ it is appropriative,” she said.

Don’t tell any of these easily-offended special snowflakes about Panda Express. They might have a coronary about that (mmmm… wontons… dang it – now I’m hungry).

Also, one of the dishes that isn’t being serve properly (or at all) is fried chicken. And that means that the dining areas at Oberlin are super RAAAAAACIST –

Oberlin’s black student union joined in the food fray this month by staging a protest and petition against the grub being offered at Afrikan Heritage House, an on-campus dorm.

 

The dorm’s cafeteria wasn’t serving enough vegan and vegetarian options, and had failed to make fried chicken a permanent feature on the Sunday night menu, the school newspaper reported.

 

The petition also recommends the reduction of cream used in dishes, because “Black American food doesn’t have much cream in it,” according to the Review.

Wait – I thought it was racist to assume that only black people ate fried chicken? Would these liberal idiots make up their freaking minds already?

You know what? I’m going to enjoy my orange chicken the way I like it and the Cult of Social Justice can sustain itself on self-righteousness and lecturing everybody else.
