Re: Cultural Appropriation

Eh... I've seen people claim that it's something like appropriation when you have white (and usually male) chefs who are the "expert" on food from some other culture, like a white American guy who is the "best" (most famous) chef of Mexican or Japanese or Indian food, or something. I can sort of see their point... what about the people actually from that culture who have been cooking that stuff all their lives? But if just EATING another culture's food is appropriation, that's pretty ridiculous. And annoying because I like a lot of food from other cultures.

From what I could catch, it's pretty much in the vein of what you were saying; Someone not of that race seems to think they have some great understanding (or 'street food street cred') from simply eating food from another culture.

White American Chefs are also "experts" on Italian and French cuisine. It's obnoxious, but it's not a white vs POC issue specifically.
