Re: Problematic Opinion Thread

[(Anonymous)]

People who mock "white people's food" like all white people come from the same culture and cook the same way are ignorant, borderline xenophobic, and - if they're american - imperialist. They're ignoring the rich culinary history of making "white" countries that - guess what! Do use spices!

Also, I think they are making food from other culture's "exotic". What is exotic for someone in England, is that shitty Friday night drunk food for an Asian or boring food you make on a Tuesday afternoon for your kids in South America.

Wait…why is it only imperialist if Americans do it?

Last I checked, Imperial Britain and Imperial Japan were a thing too, as just two examples. And I'd argue they were AT LEAST as bad as America.

(I'd actually say they were way, way worse in a lot of ways but I know someone's going to argue that point.)

Re: Problematic Opinion Thread

I rarely see someone who's not from the US comment on that "unflavoured whitey food".

Re: Problematic Opinion Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I suspect this attitude comes from a lot of Americans, where there isn't as much of a food culture as there is in, for example, Italy. People who know how to cook and eat well are in the minority, and there's a heavy reliance on processed foods or dining out. A lot of people just don't know any better, so "white people food" is bland boxed mac and cheese or an overdone pork chop with shake n' bake.

I can agree with this. I wouldn't mind expanding my tastes and cuisines, but here in small town Iowa, you just aren't really going to have much luck finding that sort of wide variety of food. It's pretty much whatever's made on the farms or the processed stuff you mention. And that's what my family made, because that's the quickest, cheapest stuff to make, and if your family is working odd hours, you're just not going to have time to make big fancy meals.

Re: Problematic Opinion Thread

That's more classism, since people pointed out the food mocked as white people food are often eaten by poor, working class families who need a quick meal and can't afford otherwise.

Re: Problematic Opinion Thread

This is true, but it's not 100% classism. Even people with money and access to good groceries stores don't always have the time or skills to cook meals from scratch. Also, if you don't live in a big city, you may not have access to a wide variety of great ethnic restaurants so your experience with other cuisines might be limited.
