For thousands of years food was local and bland for the masses. Spices? Those were largely for hiding the taste of spoiled foods and meats. We now have refrigeration. We can savor what the food actually tastes like unspoiled for extended periods of time. What a concept.

Potatoes being a South American ingredient, dumbass. Oh, and those are Spanish derivatives. Love the lumping of 'Asian Food'. So racist. Indian curry restaurant I visit when I can has a curry with potatoes - how does that work?
But do go on making fun of poor people food and their mud pies.
Because they are lazy, we will just assume by White People Food we don't get specific, like French, German, Spanish, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Maltese, etc etc etc.
No, what they are making fun of is not White People Food, but Corporation Food. That's all shit Heinz, Kraft, Kool Aid. all them want people to buy. Olive Garden is not 'White People Food', it is Corporate.
But OK dork, seems like one of the largest food distributors in the world is Domino's Pizza. White People Food. Fast Food Burger - White People Food. KFC - White People Food. Again though, that is all corporate. Here's your moment Herb, "Panda Garden is not Chinese Food."

AND....mustard was the first plant crop planted on purpose, even before grains. By Asians.

Maybe we need a Dave Chapelle racial food draft skit. Except Chapelle is a comedian and all Hollywood allows are stand up tards.
But let's conclude tard's logic. People so "Anti-Immigrant" would be consistent in thought to not be Immigrants themselves. So, no Agriculture exports at all. Using Louisiana rice in Mexico is influencing. California almonds to China, no sir. Grow your own local variety.
Any rate. Sauerkraut may be the most influential food since bread and beer.
What is native Dominican food? Humans? Isn't everything else Spanish/French and African derivatives?

Watson is making fun of people dissing 'white people food'. For instance, he notes the thp foods are Italian, French, and Spanish. But the list was up so quickly, I couldn't see German or English foods.

Its the next gen of the marketing campaign for Blue Beetle which there 'just happened' to be a series of har hars called 'White People Making Tacos' where Mexicans were reduced to taco people so that there could be 'owns' on people who didn't like the movie.
So what of us who have non-European origins who are tired of being forced to take on the worst of shithole country people, does Gulag Tard still allow us to eat something other than Heinz?
List had Germany 15, England 31 (2:11 mark).
LOL I think the only non-Mediterranean African country on the list is South Africa 37.

People concerned with "cultural appropriation" should be most wary of me appropriating all the rest of their oxygen when I get tapped out on putting up with their woke crap.

"Bland bourgeois food sucks, comrade! Must be destroyed!"
"You said it, Kamerad! I can help!"
Your commissars' marvelous ways
Will save you! Direct, please, your gaze
To our centralised storage
For all of the porridge
In Leningrad, bombed and ablaze.
[Tablet] You may think you're not worth spying on. But to our government, we're all terrorists now.
My email was being “held in government quarantine” pending review, a letter from Yahoo! informed me. I was sitting in the computer lab in the German department at New York University. It was September of 2003. I remember because I’d just received an email about a merit scholarship for that semester. The government wants to know about my scholarship? was my first thought. My next one was: Let ‘em. What did I care if the government knew my GPA?
This is a common line of reasoning in the bulk surveillance era. The “nothing to hide” argument, which, as Edward Snowden points out, was likely the brainchild of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Americans really took to it back in 2013, when Snowden revealed the government’s mass spying programs. Unless their private photos were being looked at, nobody cared.

[RedState] At a press conference on August 12th, 1986, President Ronald Reagan said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” I remember the media went into quite a tizzy at that quote; even then, the legacy media (which is pretty much all there was) was wholly partisan. Now, the Mises Caucus presents another example of someone being confronted by a government agent who is just there "to help."
“We’re from the FBI, you haven’t done anything wrong but we are hoping you can point us to people who might have done something wrong. Also, if you don’t have anyone to inform on, then that is suspicious and you must have done something wrong.” pic.twitter.com/hNVO7pk5MB
When this citizen opened the door to find these three (two FBI agents and one county Sheriff's deputy) at his door, he should have replied with two questions:
"Do you have a warrant?"
"Am I being detained?"
Since these three would have had to answer "no" to both of those, the next statement would be, "In that case, please vacate my property immediately, or I will have you charged with trespassing." That is where this encounter should have ended.
But since that didn't happen, let's parse through the statements made by these officers.

That mindset seems to be common at all levels and functions of government. I recently received a postcard from the county assessor saying that wanted to come into my house and take pictures. And if I didn't agree they'd just make up their assessment.

Or, just don't open the door and tell them to fuck off through an open window.

I don't recommend saying much more than 'good morning' to these people without your legal counsel being present. Also recommend video taping the session.

They rely on you being rattled by their rep. Go the Mike Ermentraut route: "Am I under arrest? If I'm not under arrest, I'm going to close the door now..."

FYI: the Mises Caucus currently runs the Libertarian Party after a complete takeover from the Gary Johnson faction at the 2022 convention.

A very good friend who liked to do chemical experiments in his house (he is a genious) bought a small glass chemical reactor on line. A few days later 2 FBI agents showed up and demanded he let them in to search. He asked for a warrant and was told they could go get a warrant but if they did some things might get broken during their search. Police state tactics. Constitution? They don't need no constitution.

Imagine if General Flynn had done that...or Martha Stewart.

[RT] There’s been a debate lately in the United States about the supposed success of President Joe Biden’s economic policies and the "vibecession" (a perceived recession based on a pessimistic outlook on the economy, term coined by financial influencer Kyla Scanlon) apparently taking place, which has been led by one X (formerly Twitter) user named Will Stancil.
Will argues that Bidenomics — the collective name for the current administration’s economic strategy, which is directed ostensibly at supporting the working class, reducing income inequality, and strengthening the social safety net — is working. The US economy is red-hot and, on the back of historically low unemployment, labor finally has the power to push for higher wages and fairer contracts, which ought to be making people’s lives better.
But, as is always the case, the internet disagrees, and people’s lived experience contradicts the hard numbers. X users shouted Stancil down with the fact that property prices are through the roof, so much so that Generation Z can probably never even fathom home ownership. Others are pointing to the fact that most Americans still live paycheck-to-paycheck, which means that any semi-large financial event could see them on the streets.

[Jpost] Ask people on Israel’s streets what transpired Tuesday in the High Court of Justice, and most would probably say that a "dramatic" hearing was taking place.
Many could probably say what the hearing was about: petitions calling for the court to strike down an amendment to a basic law limiting the court’s use of the reasonableness standard to overturn government decisions.
Why are most people aware of this hearing? Because the media has been hyping this for a week as nothing less than the most important High Court of Justice case of the century — if not in the country’s history.
For a week, the term "dramatic" has been repeatedly used in television and radio reports leading up to the hearing, emphasizing that the very fate of the country rests in the hands of the 15 Supreme Court justices hearing the case.
But who are those judges shaping the country’s destiny? Who are those justices whose ruling, expected in the coming weeks or months but no later than mid-January, will profoundly influence the nation’s course for years to come?
Paradoxically, given the importance of these judges’ role, most Israelis would be hard-pressed to name five of the 15 justices sitting on the bench.
Sure, everyone has heard of Esther Hayut, the soon-to-be-retiring Supreme Court president. Many, as well, have heard of Yitzhak Amit, the man expected to replace her in a few months, and of Noam Sohlberg, who is slated to take over as Supreme Court president in five years.
But Ruth Ronnen? Yechiel Meir Kasher? Chaled Kabub? These are not exactly household names.
Even though these judges may hold the nation’s fate in their hands, most people could encounter them on the street and have no idea that they just bumped into one of the country’s top jurists.
Just as the names and faces of the majority of Supreme Court justices are not known, neither is their judicial philosophy nor politics. As such, it is easy — as some opponents of the court do — to paint the court as overwhelmingly left-wing or liberal. A closer look at the court’s composition, however, reveals a more balanced representation of conservative and liberal viewpoints than commonly believed.
Rather than framing the court as Right or Left, it is more accurate to divide it along the lines of conservative and liberal ideologies, encompassing judicial philosophy (conservative vs activist) and broader worldviews.
That a look at the individual members of the court reveals a court more balanced than popularly believed does not mean that it in any way mirrors the total mosaic of Israeli society. It does not.
Only two Mizrahi judges are on the court, even though Mizrahim make up an estimated 50% of the country’s Jewish population. There is only one Arab judge, even though Arabs constitute nearly 21% of the population.
The haredim comprise 13% of the population, but there is no haredi judge, and women — who comprise just over 50% of the population — only have six seats, or 40%, on the bench.
The settlement population is slightly overrepresented, with two Supreme Court justices (some 13% of the court) living in communities beyond the Green Line, while the percentage of Israelis living beyond the 1967 lines, including in Jerusalem, stands at about 8.5%.
