"Colorism" as described by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is the "prejudice or discrimination especially within a racial or ethnic group favoring people with lighter skin over those with darker skin." Abad, however, suggested that this racialized hierarchy applies to a wide range of experiences including sight, touch, sound, smell, and taste.
She went on to claim that "specific food and specific aromas" are racialized, claiming even that different perfumes have racial connotations, "all of these smells hint at otherness or assimilation in ways that complement a colorist aesthetic that lends us and prompts us to lean closer to whiteness," citing "how we eat our chicken" and "the level of salt in our food" as examples.
Later, Abad claimed that "tanning" is "sexualized in a certain way," recounting that her students had discussed pop star Ariana Grande "performing in brownface in terms of her aesthetic, which she can as an Italian-American."
Total unadulterated bull crap!!
I eat food from almost every ethic group and race. Am I a racist? Absolutely not!

What do you expect from the crowd of anti-intellectual intelligentsia who can’t figure out what a woman is, or why men cannot get pregnant?
It’s just one more piece to add to the mountain of evidence already collected, proving that progressive liberalism is just the consequence of progressive mental illness.
But your protest does show signs of micro-aggression, and denial of your own unrecognized racism that unconsciously motivates your culinary decisions!
By the way, you said, “almost every ethnic group”? Which groups has your racist palette deliberately excluded, hmm? LOL
I have never understood the defensiveness by the woke crowd, about ethnic food.
They obviously realize there are restaurants all over town that unapologetically serve all kinds of ethnic food to all kinds of people who enjoy it, so why are we supposed to feel bad about that? Why are foods an insult?
Talk about First world problems. These people have way too much time on their hands.
I guess in the eyes of these types I would be guilty of Cultural Appropriation considering that I have a roasted chicken in the fridge and a watermelon on the counter?

Methinks you are missing the point …. that old problem of failing to see the forest because of all the trees blocking the view. LOL
It’s not the choice of food, per se, but just another example of the multitude of proofs showing just how deep racism really goes. So deep in fact that you cannot escape it … no matter what you do, what you say, or what you choose to believe true … racism is everywhere, even in places your wildest imagination could ever have anticipated finding it.
That’s the point. If you don’t see racism everywhere, then you just aren’t looking close enough.
But not to worry, we have plenty of leftwing lunatics who are only too happy to point out the ones you fail to notice.
