Sorry for posting another snark!

[leastconcern]

But I couldn't let this one go. White privileged male cries foul and makes up statistics about things and rambles on how those bad, bad third world countries shouldn't be complaining about major corporations should NOT be posting in a discussion about cultural appropriation on bipolypagangeek .

Considering I've been accused of cultural appropriation because I eat pho with chopsticks instead of a fork, and because I like to cook and eat foods that are not from my ancestors... I recognize that there are times when people have a valid complaint, a lot of people who sling the phrase "cultural appropriation" around need to get their feet back down to Earth.

...like to cook and eat foods that are not from my ancestors...

I'm not sure what kind of food your ancestors are sending you but I'm not going to cook and eat anything my ancestors sent me; even with refrigeration, that stuff is way past its sell-by date!

Gah, so literal. You probably use emacs. Sorry, food traditions that were not passed down from my ancestors.

Bok bok bok.

Gah, so literal. You probably use emacs.

I didn't think I'd have to explain but it was, you know, humour; I was snarking your comment since this is a snark group after all. I honestly, really did know you didn't mean it literally. Geez.

And yes, I do use EMACS. :-P

How, exactly, would one eat pho with a phork? Er, fork. It' a soup.

[rhonan]

I've seen people do it before. There is just something wrong about eating pho like it's soupy spaghetti.

Basically, yeah. That's weird.
