I like ethnic Greek food. Not fusion Greek or Americanized Greek. Not tourist Greek. Ethnic Greek. Like the food in tiny restaurants on the coast. Ethnic Greek. Is that non-white Greek? I’m confused.

I was avoiding this thread, it's not an interesting topic to me, but today, must be slow...
You guys are on dicey ground with this "ethnic" "topic".
It's perception in my opinion, and if no one has noticed, which is pretty much impossible,
right now the USA is being ripped apart by perception.
I have my own definition of ethnic, formed from experience and upbringing, both of which clash
at times. Right now, in the USA, you'd probably be fired from your job by asking a co-worker
to go to lunch and eat "ethnic" food...

Maybe. But I can’t stand fusion anything or foods changed for a foreign taste. Ingredients of course may offer limitations, but I prefer ethnic foods.
Chinese sucks outside of China. And Thai. Turkish too. I don’t want to hurt feeling of restaurant owners so lie and say it tastes just like in Sakarya. We both know it sucks. Somehow germans get decent Greek but not Americans. That’s unethical. Not to mention being an ethic problem for ethnic eaters.

Subject; "ethnic couple having a fight". The usual distraction at play here.... talking about something else than the ethnic couple. If the couple having a fight had been white, that would not have been specified. In this case they were observed by a white person, so it is specified that the couple was "ethnic". The "ethnic" couple was a racial specification in the text, that could have been omitted, but was not. So it must have been important to specify, for whatever purpose it served. Like I said above, the white race is perceived the center of earth. All other races circle around whites, thus THE OTHER RACES are "ethnic". Jan As I said ; always the last word . You can’t help yourself. Till next time Gaspipe : over and out |

Well. I did it again. Let me rephrase that.They were not ethnic. How about a Chunky Porker and a sleazy Buck Stud.
Just like several of my Ethnic posts on Face Book. Some car"s have Italian tires. Dego up hill, dego down will, and when Dego flat, Dego whoop whoop whoop.....
That should get me into some hot water.
This will surely be deleted like some of my Face Book Post's.
But the way, I am 5% German, 5% British, and 5% Polish. And the other 85%, pure Rectal Orifice.

You should hear some of the Palagi (Polynesian for white person) jokes in the Pacific.
So I was with a Melanesian whose black as night and a Polynesian. We are all good friends. The Melanesian addressed both of us with “You two Palagi...” and you should have seen the Polynesians eyes! He got called white with a word from his own language. The Polynesian protested, the Melanesian offered a look at his arm and said “you look the same to me.” I was in tears!

Maybe I should. I was attempting a little humor.
As far as my departure from Insectnet. I received private emails that wanted me to stick around.
I will keep it to Lepidoptera only. My personal life is off limits.

Well, that broke some ice. I'm glad I didn't get lambasted for my comment about nuclear waste... back to this ethnic topic-
Maybe I can safely say what I've always thought about different peoples.
I think as a survival strategy from the past, humans group people different from themselves, you could call that what you like.
Consciously or subconsciously, people tend to put others in a box, and just by a few words, the mind typically forms an image.
Don't want to be in a box? Step out of it.

My personal life is off limits. Without your insight and your good natured humor this site would be something much less. Don’t be a victim of the cancel culture ; keep us educated and entertained. Don’t change one little bit. |

Oops Leroy you’ve offended the humorless pompous snowflakes. Humor is a little subjective, mine has been complimented as "interesting" may have been one of the words. Humor is everywhere, even in tragedy, it may be insensitive, but nevertheless. I was going to edit my last post on the ethnic topic, but decided against it- One other thing I come to realize over 56 years of existence, is that stereotypes exist for a reason, something I thinly alluded to earlier. That's why there are bad jokes about everything and everyone. Living to offend the easily offended could be a calling. |
