I'm convinced these people are solely found on the internet. I'm white with a Mexican extended family and they fucking love that I took the time to learn how to cook authentic Mexican food. I have never had anyone other than SJW trolls say that I shouldn't be cooking something because I'm white.

How is it cultural appropriation? No one is saying you have to make it that way and no one is trying to pass off other cultures cooking as their own. If you don't know the background of certain dishes, that's on you. It's not others job to make sure your dumb ass is educated

Whiny pocs want to bash ypipo for not only writing these recipes, but also for not being "authentic." Well, which is it? If it were authentic, it'd be stealing your culture, as if such an absurd concept is even valid.

Ironically, I feel like white Europeans are the only ones who get made when other cultures attempt to recreate their food. Italians get furious with their "THAT ISN'T REAL PIZZA/PASTA!!"

My original post was a step by step follow along that I did while cooking but I'm just going to get down to the basics here.

Ingredients:

- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup lard
- 1 cup boiling water

Instructions:

Using a large bowl, weigh out your flour, add your baking powder, and add your salt. Whisk it all together. Add the lard and begin mixing it in by hand until the consistency is even. The dough should stick together when squeezed but crumble easily.

Add 1 cup of boiling water to the mix, stirring it with a spoon until you can stand to knead it by hand. Knead the dough for 10 minutes.

Divide your dough into 12 balls for burrito sized tortillas or 24 balls for taco sized tortillas, I use a scale for this. After you have your dough balls, cover them with a damp paper towel and let them rest for 15 minutes.

Now it's time to roll them out thinly on either a well flowered surface or a fancy rolling mat like I used in the pic above. If you have never tried to roll something out into a circle you are going to want to look it up on YouTube. Remember though, they don't have to be perfect, you're going to eat them anyway so don't stress over it. You can stack your rolled out tortillas on top of each other as you make them, they might stick a little but not enough to where you can't peel them apart.

Heat a non-greased cast iron skillet over medium heat, if your stove dial is 1-10, go with 6. If it's just barely smoking you should be good. Probably would use a lower temp with non-stick to avoid damaging the pan, but the tortillas will cook slower.

Cook your tortillas one at a time. They cook fast. They are going to bubble, but don't worry, that is what you want so don't mess with them even if the bubble is huge. After about 3 bubbles (or one large bubble) form (~10 seconds) flip the tortilla and cook for about the same amount of time. Check the dark spots aren't too light/dark and stack in a container. Repeat until done.

Pay close attention to the way this woman rolls her tortillas out if you want to learn. She is using a LOT more dough per tortilla than my recipe calls for but it's the same concept:

>majority of ethnic cuisine on the web written by white people

Yea, if you don't know how to filter them out.

Every ethnic dish written by a person not of that ethnicity is garbage.

The trick?

instead of "recipe", search for the word "recipe" but in the language of that ethnicity.

For italian food for example, type "tagliatelle ricetta"

For spanish food, "tamales receta"

etc, etc.

This technique isn't necessary on ethnicities with good english speakers, such as filipinos/Indian, so use as needed. Also, a bit challenging with non-latin scripts, so for Chinese food, stick to certain subtitled youtube chefs.

As we know, native Africans eat yams, roots, berries, and monkeys and lack the mental capacity to do anything more than that. Any cuisine or culture they have comes from other places.

In this case, South Asians and/or Muslims colonized East Africa and gave them their food culture. A mutton stew and pilaf is African cuisine, in the sense that it came from outside of Africa as anything they have that's worthwhile has.

That's why the idea of cultural appropriation is ironic and speaks to a lack of historical understanding.

Black anon here. Like a year or two ago I read an article about a white guy who was being forced to close down his Asian restaurant due to harassment over him culturally appropriating Asian food and it deeply depressed me. Like this hit me harder than most articles because it's one of the most racist ideas possible being portrayed as PC. It's sickening down to my soul that the most vocal people are the fucking craziest. There's a burning cross in some dude's yard and then there's trying to brainwash society into bringing back segregation by making it seem virtuous. I have a deep love of Chinese food, but I can't ever express it cause of cultural appropriation? We can't share and experience each others culture cause we've gotten to the point where the only right answer is to stay away? It's so fucking confusing how these people fucking work.
