[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP is a white person trying to provoke other white people into being outraged about "cultural appropriation". I am Indian-American and although I grew up mostly eating Indian food, my mom would frequently put her own Indian take on food from other cultures - especially Middle Eastern and Mexican foods which were flavorful and had similar spices. I thought it was great - it expanded her own palate and ours! I still think American/Northern European-derived foods are pretty bland, so I do what I can do spice things up. Are white people offended by that?[/quote] Normal people are not offended by that. (I do think it's silly to paint all American and Northern European food as "bland," given the huge variety of food included in those two categories.) Just like I'd hope that non-white people aren't offended by white people putting their own take on foods from around the world, "authentic" or not.[/quote]
