[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Using "curry" to describe Indian food is offensive, FYI.[/quote]

Don’t bother. There were several posts yesterday that stated it’s a common slur but they were deleted. I even sent a comment over with the report button about the posters that were offended were getting deleted but apparently that’s how it works here.

Maybe he thinks we’re ‘too sensitive’. Whatever. Pretty much every Indian kid growing up in America has had to deal with “smell like curry” comments, and it’s hurtful.

Almost all of the posts I removed yesterday were from a single poster. Ironically, that poster also asked that the thread be deleted. Just FYI, if you think a thread should be deleted, repeatedly pushing it to the top of Recent Topics is not a particularly brilliant strategy.

I routinely remove posts that are insulting towards Indians, many of which involve criticizing curry smells. But, I do not find the original post of this thread to be of that nature. After all, the poster describe the dish she cooked as "great". Presumably, she plans to make it again, but she wants advice about dealing with the smell. That doesn't seem like something that should be offensive.

If you have helpful advice for the original poster, please post it. Otherwise, please move on to another thread.
