Insensitive Cafeteria Food

[chanel]

At the University of California-Irvine, student Ricardo Sparks, co-chairman of the university's Black Studio Union, lodged a formal complaint when the Pippin Commons cafeteria tossed together a last-minute meal and sign reading "MLK Holiday Special: Chicken and Waffles" without university oversight, according to the Los Angeles Times.

UC Irvine spokeswoman Cathy Lawhon acknowledged that the cafeteria's choice of menu on Jan. 17 was not in "good taste," and said all managers and chefs will undergo cultural sensitivity training.

WWMLKD?

 

[Mr. H.]

I should think that a compliment. Now if they were serving fat back and chitlins...

 

[Mini 14]

When is chicken just chicken?

If I am offended by something, I don't buy it, don't associate with it, and will often go out of my way to avoid it.

Someone needs to sue a chicken.

They are insensitive, fowl creatures.

Chicken and Waffles is a traditional PA Dutch offering. WTF are those people smoking?

Any response from the chairman of the White Studio Union? Oh, hush my mouth! A white union would be too insensitive, would it not?

I got news for them. Chicken on waffles is a big hit in a good deal of restaurants.

I am sure the Belgians are FURIOUS over the insensitivity.

Now if they had offered chitterlings and collard greens with watermelon and had the cafeteria staff in black face, i could see something there. Then again that is considered haute cuisine soul food.


Fuck them and their sensitivity. I am tired of this being offended shit.

sounds to me like the University of California-Irvine, student Ricardo Sparks, co-chairman of the university's Black Studio Union ought to get up to speed.

The Professionally Perpetually Offended will always find something.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Seems that for Black History month, no food that is typically and historically associated with African American culture through history can be served.

Ironic?

I'd say.

I guess serving lasagna at a cafeteria on Columbus day is offensive.

Insensitive indeed
