Fortune Cookies aren't even Chinese anyway. It has nothing to do with Chinese tradition or culture and they only exist outside of China.
Actually it came from a Japanese recipe made popular in California by immigrant restaurant owners.

Jesus...so Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream makes a commemorative flavor honoring (ok capitalizing on) the NBA Player "Lin".
Included in the pkg was fortune cookies - pointing obviously to his heritage and nationality.
Well hold on...someone might be offended.
So Ben & Jerry's removes the fortune cookies and issues a public apology to anyone who might have been offended.
I am offended that the officers of Ben&Jerry's are a bunch of weak pussies allowing themselves to succumb to a bunch a whiney-ass do-nothings.
Nope, Ben and Jerry's was wrong to put a Fortune Cookie in the Ice Cream. Jeremy Lin was born in Los Angeles, CA and raised in San Francisco.
I supported B&G for sticking to their Schweddy Balls flavor, but they were absolutely right to lose the cookie.
It's not as much offensive as just plain factually wrong. Jeremy Lin is an AMERICAN. Born and raised in AMERICA.
Most American blacks are born in America, yet we still call them "African American." We still consider American born Latino kids Hispanic. My Mc friends still celebrate St Patrick's Day like they're from the mother land.
What's the difference?

Where were you when Ben & Jerrys had Schweddy Balls Ice Cream and the "Million Moms" organization had a cow?
I'm offended by political correctness run amok and empty sacked little pussies.
Who in the FUCK is pushing this BULL SHIT that you can go through life and NEVER SHOULD BE OFFENDED? What an absolute crock of SHIT!
Holy FUCK people... grow a mother fucking SPINE and quit your GOD DAMN WHINING about shit that's so TRIVIAL it's a JOKE!
Good God...

Black people, a great majority of them feel connected to their African Ancestry. And they do have African Ancestry, born here or not. Why do you have such a god damn problem if they embrace it?
I'm reminded of the great Peter Tosh and his song African.
Don't care where you come from
As long as you're a black man
You're an African
(CHORUS)
No mind your nationality
You have got the identity of an African
'Cause if you come from Clarendon
And if you come from Portland
And if you come from Westmoreland
You're an African
CHORUS
No mind your nationality
You've got the identity of an African
'Cause if you come Trinidad
And if you come from Nassau
And if you come from Cuba
You're an African
CHORUS
No mind your complexion
There is no rejection
You're an African
'Cause if your plexion
High(3x)
If your complexion low, low, low
And if your plexion in between
You're an African
CHORUS
No mind denomination
That is only segregation
You're an African
'Cause if you go to the Catholic
And if you go to the Methodist
And if you go to the Church of Gods
You're an African
CHORUS
No mind your nationality
You have got the identity of an African
'Cause if you come from Brixton
And if you come from Weesday
And if you come from Wingstead
And if you come from France
...Brooklyn
...Queens
...Manhattan

Very few of them ever went to Africa. I don't think they would feel so wonderful about their imagined African heritage if they saw the place. It is mostly a desert were the locals have deforested the countryside for their fires. Folks are wandering around starving to death. Their governments are constantly in turmoil. In the North Muslims are doing ethnic-cleansing and are currently in the middle of an Islamic revolution. Christians are being wiped out.

I have no problem with anyone embracing their history. What I have a problem with is them resenting the fact that I too want to embrace my history. My family came from Germany and England. My grandparents ended up in Oklahoma and later moved to Chicago on my mother's side and came from Virginia on my father's side. And I was born in California, but the worst part about it is that I am not only white but male also.
That makes me a terrible person because I somewhat honor the traditions of the south even though I am adamantly opposed to slavery. And I fully expect to be called a racist after I post this because I am willing to admit that my family came from the south and I honor some of the traditions of the south.
Thank you,

What the fuck? Who has a problem that your family came from Germany and England?
Also, a great deal of black people in the south celebrate traditions of the south... and they created a great many of those traditions. So what traditions are you wanting to "celebrate" that causes you to catch flak? You're not going to say confederacy are you? Because that's about the only thing that's going to cause a stir. Southern tradition, food culture and hospitality is openly practiced and celebrated in the United States with no ill will attached to it.
So what the hell traditions are you talking about? Lynching black people? Klan Rallies? I don't understand what could POSSIBLY cause such a great big stir that you think it will, unless it is things like that.

And? What does that pride have to do with modern state of affairs in many African countries?

Let's put it this way, when a person claims they are from the South, they are automatically considered to be a) a dumb red-neck, b) a traitor (because they would have fought for the confederacy and c) a racists.
At least those are the labels thrown out by the people of tolerance on the left.

Holy FUCK people... grow a mother fucking SPINE and quit your GOD DAMN WHINING about shit that's so TRIVIAL it's a JOKE!

You seem to be the most offended person here, feel that righteous outrage? Everyone likes that feeling. We all need something to get our outrage fix be it racism or the unfair social stigma of being seen as a racist.
