Would Anthony Bourdain have been really upset that a school cafeteria called a crappy sandwich a banh mi?

Who in their right mind gets mad about a sandwich being called a “banh mi” that isn’t quite so?
If our range is on the one hand something super offensive (a racial slur sandwich) and on the other end the lady policing dumpling-making a couple years back?
IMO this is a lil closer to that lady

The given banh mi example is more like
A low rent school cafeteria serves something it calls a “muffuletta sandwich” but is just assorted lunch meat & melted cheese with chopped olives inside sliced store brand wheat bread
It’s not an authentic muffuletta. It’s also funny or quirky, not offensive

“This is offensive to me because you call it X but it doesn’t have the necessary ingredients or design or what have you to be X” is the core complaint, and one I happily roll eyes at if it’s being done as a serious accusation.
Derisively mocking the “banh mi?” Hell yes sounds great.

Part of the kick of the melting pot is melting a little.
I don’t care to imagine the alternate reality to our delicious Tex Mex world today if transfer/international students in the south had objected to our various weird culinary mishmashes as inauthentic or offensive.

I mean, that Oberlin changed the name is so weak.
A *school cafeteria* is calling something “banh mi” but it isn’t “authentic?” Oh good heavens!
The best response would’ve been a “there there” little tap on the head.

I think it takes a braindead bloodthirsty piece of shit to sincerely argue that continuing to rain hellfire on children in Gaza is moving the region closer to peace.
So yes, *not* bombing hospitals, schools, etc would be a peaceful act you brainless sack of shit.

Yes peace is better, Israel should stop bombing the fuck out of Gaza and raiding the West Bank.
We should stop sending money and bombs to the right wing warmongering government there.

This is not at all a unique idea to Palestinians, or Iraqis, or anyone else.
It is, in fact, a pretty normal idea that if you slaughter someone’s family they might grow up not having warm fuzzy feelings about you.

grats on putting words into my mouth to create a strawman even the most dipshit of IDF defenders could take down.
“If we bomb a child’s village repeatedly; cut off medical supplies, water, electricity at will to the child and his family; blow up his family indiscriminately he might hate us later

That’s clearly not the goal of this bloodthirsty right wing Israeli government.
Killing kids en masse, bombing hospitals and schools, etc will only lead to further anger and hate.

It is the “goals” that we pro Palestine people have an issue with.
The goal is clearly collective punishment. Ethnic cleansing.
If the goal were to eliminate Hamas, where are the assassinstion teams going after higher ups in hiding who don’t reside in Palestine?

Yes the difference is that one is a ragtag band of insane terrorists with limited capabilities, while the other is a first world power via the money and arms we pour into them.
Which affords them the capability of raining ethnic cleansing firepower on a land where 1/2 the people are kids.

Israel stops dropping bombs on children and civilians and the ethnic cleansing ends. But yes I agree, you don’t really care about that.

Yeah I don’t really care as much about Hamas surrendering or not when the pressing issue is daily crushing of Palestinian children’s skulls via an ethnic cleansing campaign.
Wearing a keffiyeh is not pro Hamas. Sorry it rustles your jimmies.

I think Hamas should have surrendered and also should up and leave Gaza bc we do not, in fact, have to “give it to” Hamas in order to say…
Also think Israel should not ethnic cleanse Gaza and the West Bank.
Our US $$ and bombs currently flowing to a right wing genocidal war criminal.

“Communists are against oligarchs, whether Putin…”

Imagine conflating “supporting Palestine via ownership of a keffiyeh” with “you want more Palestinian dead kids bc that means u support violence against Israelis”

bait and switch?
Someone can both believe that the gov’t shouldnt be passing bills targeting trans ppl/youth/athletes or having *any* business determining who gets to play what sport
& also that it’s fine for the NCAA or the Olympics to make their own rules (they do) & that the WNBA should exist

I’m not sure who you mean by “y’all” here.
I keep it simple. Government has no business looking up the shorts of kids or athletes to check their private parts.
Sports leagues can and do already “manage” men’s/women’s divisions.
Your plan to unify the NBA and the WNBA would be terrible for women.
