At a time where literally half of our country is ADDICTED to virtue signaling about how OFFENDED they are, it’s really no surprise that these Social Justice Warriors often end up battling each other.
This example may be one of my favorites yet.
It all started when a vegan wanted to take a dig at DISGUSTING, Un-WOKE meat eaters:
Meat eaters be like “vegan food looks and tastes gross”
And then eat something that looks like leftover dishwater pic.twitter.com/QtaEU9zNyl

FIRST OFF – I eat meat. I also think many vegan meals are delicious. Some of them are not. Just like ANY OTHER kind of meal. Duh. Meat is not delicious for the sole reason of BEING meat.
Also… this looks like a hot pot. I don’t really think he’s wrong about it looking gross, though. I’ve had MUCH better looking hot pots than that. That one looks creepily murky, if you ask me.
If you ask Jeff Yang, that’s RAAAAACISM.
This is a Chinese hotpot, you engorged penis
It could be made with nothing but vegan ingredients and it would still be delicious and you’d still be a xenophobic tool https://t.co/TIq3malJTJ

BUT JEFF… THAT’S SERIOUSLY NOT THE BEST LOOKING HOT POT.
I’m Mexican. If I saw gross-looking tacos, and called them gross-looking, does that make me xenophobic? Or must I pretend all tacos are equally appetizing?
Whatever. Vegans are racist. Let’s RIP ON WHITE PEOPLE:
Can we talk about white veganism for a second? The kind espoused by folks like Jona here, who begins his Twitter bio with the Sanskrit word for “nonviolence” but then craps on Asian cultural expressions in order to advance his neocolonial beliefs?https://t.co/dvaIym3Dhe

Because veganism as practiced by white Western culture *is* neocolonialist. It harvests and expropriated ingredients and preparation techniques from nonwhite cultures to create expensive foodstuffs that many people in their origin cultures couldn’t hope to afford.

Tofu, tempeh and quinoa are fancy Whole Foods goods for white folk but they were subsistence proteins in Asia and Latin America first.
And while poor local farmers initially benefited from white interest in their fare, mass commercialization has subsequently crushed them.

Wait, I’m sorry. So first you were P*SSED that white people though that food looked gross, and now you’re P*SSED that white people like foreign food? All in the same THREAD?!
he keeps going, and going, and GOING and eventually hits on Trump, because of course:
America is now the world’s soy king, to the point where Trump is making Chinese imports of a plant that originated in China a central part of his trade agenda.
— Jeff Yang (@originalspin) December 29, 2018
And the WOKE TRADE CONTINUES…
So when @jonaweinhofen mocks traditional Chinese fare to condescendingly push borrowed beliefs, he should know that he’s part of a vast exploitative program designed to repackage nonwhite staple fare and commercialize it for white bellies, crushing native cultures as it goes.

…dude…
Also the delicious huoguo @jonaweinhofen mocks as “dishwater” began as a cold-weather mainstay of poor Chinese seeking to stretch scarce meat into a hot meal made mostly of plant products. If he wants to mock meat as gross, he should turn to his German roots and look at sausages.
— Jeff Yang (@originalspin) December 29, 2018
BUUUUURN. I guess?
But seriously, Jeff. This is just sad. STFU.
Your premise is fundamentally flawed. Something looking like “leftover dishwater” doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t also be delicious. Some Persian dishes look like vomit and are simultaneously delicious. It’s okay to dislike the presentation. Stop reaching. Sit down. Shut up.

Now THAT looks like tasty, tasty hot pot.
Unlike that gross dish-water looking one. *TRIGGERED*
