You must realise nobody supporting deportations wants your food right? Like they don't like you or your culture, why the fuck would they want you food?
Nobody here is arguing that these people like us or our culture-- the point is that these people are shameless culture vultures who will gladly eat our food and listen to our music, without any appreciation for the culture-- only appropriation of it.
They do though, magic of cognitive dissonance. Americans who don't cook for themselves and rely on a steady supply of Chinese and Mexican food from restaurants are definitely represented among Trumpers. They won't even make the connection between their nice noodle lady and "illegals" they vilify.
As a POC, I can tell you that I've met countless racists who love my peoples' food, but hate my people.
I get the feeling you're not speaking from any lived experience because the above mentioned situation happens on a daily basis. If you are a POC, then I'd say your head's buried in sand.
I was so excited when I bought my copy of How to Clean Like the People you Just Deported! But even ten minutes of reading and I was like "No Way I'm doing that"
That’s so true. I lived in Colorado after a few years. One of the whitest places I’ve ever lived. The food was so bland and uneventful and dare I say…American. Texas may have fucked up politics and politicians, but we have great food, thanks to all the POC and immigrants. Homogenous societies suck.
I wouldn’t quite go that far - have had some wonderful meals in the UK - but I have often wondered why they went to all the trouble of subjugating countries that produced spices when they didn’t use any.

You're acting like racists don't like POC food.

A must read!
Part of the series includes:
How to grow food like the people you just deported
&
How to afford the massive increase in the cost of living spurring from you deporting the people you just deported.
which is why my McMansion is a mess.
