Your food court noodles? Some people may find them offensive

The cultural appropriation  nonsense in extreme form.  Apparently Mexican, Vietnamese and Japanese food should only be eaten by Mexicans, Vietnamese and Japanese.  And, Horrors! It should not be modified to suit American tastes

IF YOU ask someone to cite examples of cultural appropriation, there’s a good chance they’ll give you one of the two issues that have been well publicised in recent times.

There’s black face ... and the Native American Indian headdresses often spied at musical festivals and in fashion

But there’s a new culprit being called out for cultural appropriation and it’s in the spotlight today, as Girls creator Lena Dunham mentioned it in a recent magazine article.

Dunham is standing in solidarity with students from her old college, who protested that Oberlin College was “insensitive” for serving culturally appropriated food in its dining halls.

“There are now big conversations at Oberlin, where I went to college, about cultural appropriation and whether the dining hall sushi and banh mi disrespect certain cuisines.

The press reported it as, ‘How crazy are Oberlin kids?’ But to me, it was actually, ‘Right on,’” Dunham told the magazine.
