'Indian food is terrible' tweet sparks hot debate about racism
2019-11-26
h/t Instapundit
[BBC] "Indian food is terrible and we pretend it isn't," said international affairs professor Tom Nichols.

Critics called his comment a tasteless generalisation.

The remark led to a wider discussion of the immigrant experience and how many in the US have experienced racism in relation to food.

Mr Nichols - who teaches at the US Naval War College in Rhode Island - posted his opinion after another Twitter user had asked for "controversial food opinions".

...First-generation American Saira Rao wrote: "Having white people trash Indian food is extremely triggering as an Indian who has been told that I smell weird, that my food smells weird and that Indians [expletive] on the street which is why everything we are smells bad."

Comment cited by Instapundit
Any white man who doesn’t like Indian food is a genocidal racist.

Any white man who likes Indian food is guilty of cultural appropriation and is no better than Hitler.

Take your pick.
