130 IQ liberal here, read less cherry picked stuff from facebook. Normal people care about whether the food is good, and whether the food is authentic, in roughly that order. What I don't like is when a place sells shit quality half assed product and attempts to pass itself off as serving the canonical authentic food from the old country, and you end up with people from the area growing up thinking that food is terrible because they were told all their lives that the garbage served by that joint is "authentic".

I don't really care as long as the food's good. I do feel that given the choice between a place that specialises in a particular food that's run by people from that country, and a place that does the same food that's run by people who aren't from there, my natural instinct is to go for the former as my initial thought is that the food will feel more authentic. But either way, it doesn't matter what the ethnic background of the owners are.

There's a place in my city that does Indian street food, that is quite clearly run by white people (the dead giveaway is the amount of craft ale that they have on tap), and it's fucking fantastic. Genuinely the best bhajis I've ever eaten.

Also not to mention the abundance of great pizzerias that aren't actually owned by Italians.

Really cultural appropriation is the most retarded, segregationist, hypocritical concept. "We all want diversity! Diversity is our strength!...Hey you, whitey, stop embracing diversity! It's disrespectful!" There was a time when only stormfag types would complain about it, now it's seen as "progressive" to stop cultures mixing.

Less Brietbart, for you would do you some good.

"Cultural appropriation" is a valid term. A city person wearing a cowboy hat is cultural appropriation. Neither good nor bad, but that's what it is.

The idea that a white guy is going to get dragged in front of San Francisco City Hall, tried, convicted, and forced to convert to Islam and have his penis chopped off as punishment for making a taco is a right wing fantasy.

If a goal of modern leftism is to stop cultural appropriation from happening, how would they achieve that goal without utilizing the legal system? You write a lot of flowery prose about "right wing fantasies" but you know there are leftists right now that would make CA a crime on the same level as hate speech. How does that not worry you that these people are taken seriously by the establishment of the left?

>>9995969
It can be neutral, it can be bad, it can be good. Usually when it's "bad" it's considered to reflect poorly on the person's self-awareness, like when a weeb runs around wearing a kimono and a banzai headband, people might look down on that for a variety of reasons, but it's not seen as some kind of crime against humanity like what right wing retards think.

>but you know there are leftists right now that would make CA a crime on the same level as hate speech.
Sure, and there are "rightists" right now that would make it illegal to say "evidence based" or "science based", in fact, it's the official policy of the United States Government as opposed to just something you fished out of the depths of a tumblr comment section (I assume tumblr has a "comments section" as it used to be the alleged source of most of the crazy stuff like this, before you started claiming that it came from a pizza shop near Washington, DC).

I'd say that such things are merely social constructs, so obviously should have no bearing on the real world. It's a concept, that's based purely on personal innate opinion. Its entirely void of tangible or logical reasoning.

Therefore, it's perfectly fine. Cook the food you want to cook, and be inspired, copy and/or imitate ideas that you agree with. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

If you think about it, all dishes must have originated with someone. Should that person be the only person that gets to cook said dish? Of course not. That would be absurd. So why should any group be able to make claim over a certain style of food? It's rediculous.
