What the hell is cultural appropriation? Am I a cultural appropriator when I listen to N.W.A. or go buy tacos?

First world problems/nonsense.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, 22 people were massacred by some lone wolf suicide bomber.

The most bizarre thing is when I was in Oakland last year and saw a Black Lives Matter protest with no black people.

When I was in Oakland last year and the freeway was shut down and downtown near the police station where I worked was a mess due to the BLM protest, pretty much everyone was black. Where the hell where you?

"The problem, of course, is that it's unclear whether the Mexican women who handed over their recipes ever got anything in return. And now those same recipes are being sold as a delicacy in Portland.

A spreadsheet of “white-owned appropriative restaurants” in Portland has since been created that includes many restaurants in the city, with recommendations for nearby alternatives owned by people of color.

Meh....talk to me when you find Carne Guisada .

I lived in San Antonio for a few years when I was younger, and I have never even seen Carne Guisada on the menu of any "Mexican" restaurant anyplace else.

Homicide bomber. Let's call these people what they actually are.

Yea, that is just dumb. I guess this makes any professionally trained chef a "cultural appropriator" since they generally go through French/Italian/Mexican/etc style cooking in their coursework. Or any chef who has ever traveled somewhere to learn the ins and outs of some time of local cooking.
