You got your racism in my coffee! You got your coffee in my racism!
[info]evilgrins delivered a list of bogus food terms to the [info]food_porn community which was kind of amusing but the last definition...

arab coffee: Thick, black, bitter coffee, traditionally served in tiny cups at gunpoint.

...really inspired some, uh, debate.

[info]likeawoman is accused of being likeatroll for staying determinedly offended by everyone but [info]obfuscate brings up Godwins first. "If you replace "arab coffee" with "matzo" is it an insult to Jews? "Haggis" (I hear it's good, but what the hell.. who came up with that?), and it's a comment on how violent those damn Scots are? Put "borscht" in there and you're pissing on the Slavs? "Liverwurst" would then, I suppose, mean that all Germans are violent Nazis."

Nobody likes a laugh more than me. Except for my wife. And Mrs. Johnson.

Define 'Offensive.'

Am I the only one that likes Turkish Coffee?

Why the random-ass definitions anyway?

As a White Canadian Female, let me clarify things for ya'll.



See, this is why I drink tea.

life would be easier for me if people like you didn't go out of their way to tell me that what I see isn't what it obviously is. enjoy your privilege, you're obviously stewing in it.

It'd also be way easier for the poster if you stopped telling her/him/it what s/he/it meant. The chip, on your shoulder (that you're apparently carrying for your aunt)? Must way a ton.

[insert standard disclaimer of non-racist upbringing and having a bajillion racial diverse friends so that I am cleared from not being sympathetic to his/her/its oppression]

Personally, I think you're weigh off base.
