When reached for comment on the ongoing Israeli led genocide, former co-star Joey Lawrence was quoted: “whoa”
Haven’t seen a woman with pol face before
Inreresting, I used to think they were Lebanese since most places that have them where I live are.
They’re that too. The Levant includes Lebanon, occupied Palestine, Jordan, and Syria
I never really understood the concept of cultural appropriation. I thought it was a little far-fetched. Then I learned about “Israeli” cuisine and I immediately got it.
I didn’t get it til I saw people copying my culture really badly
I think it’s also easy to see when you’re familiar with some original thing that’s been appropriated across cultural boundaries, the appropriated thing becomes more ubiquitous than the original, and people from the other culture don’t realize where it came from. It doesn’t have to be in bad taste for people to find it grating.
The example I’ve seen is imagining the reactions of white Christian conservatives in the US if suddenly the only version of Jingle Bells that got played on the radio was in Hindi. The Hindi version wouldn’t be badly done. The quality would be fine. But people would FREAK OUT. But then again, American culture prides itself on being a “melting pot” while also being aggressively assimilationist, so maybe that’s not a good example for this point.
I wanted to check out Jingle Bells in Hindi because of this
Ok just turning it into “ding ding ding, ding ding ding” makes me a lil upset. That’s too lazy. Do better.
I didn’t get it until I learned about “Elizardbeth Warren”
Tsai Ing-Wen is doing an offensive appropriation of the traditional Anglo practice of pretending to be native.
Omg the two even look alike with their glasses
game meats game
Mayim Bialik goes to Olive Garden like, “Ahh, the glories of Rome”
For someone that has an entire podcast series on children and trauma from the neuro scientific standpoint, Balik have really boinked it all up
Wait this isnt just some rando?
You’re looking at one of the recurring cast members of what was, during its 12 season run, America’s most-watched comedy: The Big Bang Theory!
I hated Seinfeld before I knew he was a kiddie creeper.
I also hated TBBT before I read your post. :AgonyCassandra:
Like I needed another reason to hate that show
It’s perfectly consistent when you remember, she doesn’t think Palestinians are people.
A normal person who knew anything about childhood trauma, would know that subjecting hundreds of thousands of children to this kind of displacement and bombardment, that keeping them out of school for over a month, and killing people around them, is traumatic AF. As it stands, practically every child in the Gaza strip has PTSD that would make The most battle experienced, mentally broken Western veteran off themselves. A Vietnam veteran, haunted by waking nightmares, experiencing flashbacks, who pisses themselves whenever a car backfires, has seen an eighth of what the average 4-year-old in Gaza has seen.
But, this colonizing monster doesn’t think they’re really people.
A normal person who knew anything about childhood trauma, would know that subjecting hundreds of thousands of children to this kind of displacement and bombardment, that keeping them out of school for over a month, and killing people around them, is traumatic AF
and someone who had never even heard the word trauma could make a reasonable guess
says “Free Palestine!”Does she think that a country founded in 1948 invented falafel? Or is she just smugly co-opting it to own the Browns?
It’s always interesting when people fuck up virtue signaling. Like, how do you not know that ethnic cleansing isn’t virtuous?
Imagine someone not particularly intelligent but very clever. It doesn’t take a genius to see who runs shit. A clever person cuddles up to this strength and does their clever best to copy the strong. It doesn’t take a smart person to understand what they’re doing, and the person running the show doesn’t care whether the clever flunkie gets some virtues wrong.
No, the virtue signal sent by the clever person and received by the strong is “i am not a threat, here is my belly, i am your ally.”
It’s a simple defense mechanism by people who truly believe in the authority of authority, and she manages to get it across very well.
Hurr hurr smart guy dunking on her with all those words? He’s technically right, sure, but whether he ignored or missed her point doesn’t matter.
A paragraph teaching us about the history of falafel to someone saying “yes i agree, kill Palestinians” is fun and all but not the fucking dunk we would like it to be
If I was a Zionist and I walked into a restaurant to see all that shit on the wall looking exactly like the walls of a chain chicken place that say things like Fresh! Zesty! Vibe!, I would immediately conclude that the project deserves to be dead and find a new thing for my life to be about
help! my colonial movement got gentrified!

I personally hate how many restaurants have some kind of pompous pretentious “send a message” wallpaper, especially if the message is some hustlegrind Secular Calvinist shit about how the owner of the franchise works that hard with no excuses.

The scariest of those creeps, especially the breeding fetishist eugenics enjoyers, use it themselves.
I think that term was originally used by the Nazis in reference to elect races
there are techbros using it now to mean eugenics as well which is pretty fucked. Californians what can you do
Even getting that excited about good wallpaper would be cringe
putting up wallpaper in my new restaurant that says
‘ᵐᵃᵒ ʷᵃˢ ᶜᵒʳʳᵉᶜᵗ’
