Students at an ultra-liberal Ohio college are in an uproar over the fried chicken, sushi and Vietnamese sandwiches served in the school cafeterias, complaining the dishes are “insensitive” and “culturally inappropriate.”
Gastronomically correct students at Oberlin College — alma mater of Lena Dunham — are filling the school newspaper with complaints and demanding meetings with campus dining officials and even the college president.
General Tso’s chicken was made with steamed chicken instead of fried — which is not authentically Chinese, and simply “weird,” one student bellyached in the Oberlin Review.
Others were up in arms over banh mi Vietnamese sandwiches served with coleslaw instead of pickled vegetables, and on ciabatta bread, rather than the traditional French baguette.
“It was ridiculous,” gripes Diep Nguyen, a freshman who is a Vietnam native.
Worse, the sushi rice was undercooked in a way that was, according to one student, “disrespectful” of her culture. Tomoyo Joshi, a junior from Japan, was highly offended by this flagrant violation of her rice. “I f people not from that heritage take food, modify it and serve it as ‘authentic,’ it is appropriative,” she said.
Oberlin’s black student union joined in the fray this month by staging a protest outside Afrikan Heritage House, an on-campus dorm.
The cafeteria there wasn’t serving enough vegan and vegetarian options and had failed to make fried chicken a permanent feature on the Sunday night menu, the school newspaper reported.
Those students started a petition that also recommends the reduction of cream used in dishes, because “black American food doesn’t have much cream in it,” according to the Review.
The Nevada-based Universal Society of Hinduism joined the food fight last week after students discovered that the traditional Indian dish, tandoori, contained beef.
“Consuming beef was considered sacrilegious among Hindus,” blasted society president Rajan Zed, the Chronical-Telegram reported.
Campus dietitian Michele Gross told the Review this week the first meeting between college officials and dyspeptic students went well, and changes are being implemented to address all concerns.
Where’s the little green onion.
Bob.
Obviously, the answer is more safe places who cater to proper ethic food protocol..

Feminism doesn’t need to be slain. Just take away government support from it (that’s how it got going in the first place). It’ll die a natural death, if you can consider a vampire evaporating in the sunlight a natural death.
In the meantime, women are going to continue in the frustrations, ending up as bitter spinsters with cats or big male dogs, blaming all their problems on men, and never understanding what the problem is.
On Drudge today is an article about a new Super Condom.

I am offended that they are all too small for me.

Maybe one of you lessor endowed men here (Admin, Llpoh, Bea, flash, my god the list is endless) can buy it and let me know how it works.
Can’t help but wonder if those kids get cheese with their whine.
Pretty sure this is a troll article.
Blacks demanding fried chicken? C’mon.
I HOPE it is a joke because otherwise we are all Damned if we do and Damned if we don’t. So screw it. Damn it all.
Oreo’s mother/grandparents last name Dunham which is bloodline to the Bush’s and Princess Diana to name a couple of his relatives. (Interesting tidbit)
There is a good documentary in Netflix “General Tso”s Chicken” that is very good and informative and the chef who invented that yummy dish has a meltdown about people using fried chicken clumps in that dish. People in China make a terrible face when told about the recipe for General Chicken as they have never heard of it.
Never serve blacks chicken that is not fried or barbequed….they get uppity.
Well, the link does indeed take you to the NY Post and this article is indeed there…
One just sits back and marvels at it all… in the same way that you drive reaaallll slooooowww past a very bad car crash…
Your complaint has been duly noted. Now, go fuck yourself.
Jeebus H. Krist Stuck, are you almost finished ? I don’t have anybody to fight with and all of this nicey- nice is driving me crazy.
BTW- We all know your schlong is bigger than your head if that is possible. A condom that size would look like a 30 gallon garbage bag. 🙂
Maggie,
Ditto
I thought they were complaining fried chicken was racist.
No, the c/o is there is no fried chicken. Yikes.
Cry bullies! Tell them if they don’t like the food they can bring or make their own.
When I was in school all of the food was offensive to any culture. My kids’ college food is far superior. All of these various food stations has given these idiot kids something beyond a first world problem. Take them back to the 70s food like mystery meat and other crap, then tell them to shut up.
“Most Liberal” US College Unleashes Demands For “Deconstructing The White Supremacist, Capitalist System”
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015 15:55 -0500
The manifesto for the micro-aggressives has been unleashed on an unknowing “safe-space”-seeking, politically-corrected, American public. Students at no lesser liberalist college than Oberlin, Ohio, have released 14 pages of full social-justice-warrior-tard warning that they are “not polite requests, but concrete and unmalleable demands.”
As DailyCaller.com reports, the list, which bubbled up online over the past three days, is no less than 14 pages in length, and includes a staggering 50 demands, many of which divide into several sub-demands. Not only are the demands numerous, but they are quite severe and are paired with stern rhetoric. The document opens as follows:
Oberlin College and Conservatory is an unethical institution. From capitalizing on massive labor exploitation across campus, to the Conservatory of Music treating Black and other students of color as less than through its everyday running, Oberlin College unapologetically acts as [sic] unethical institution, antithetical to its historical vision. In the 1830s, this school claimed a legacy of supporting its Black students. However, that legacy has amounted to nothing more than a public relations campaign initiated to benefit the image of the institution and not the Africana people it was set out for…
[T]his institution functions on the premises of imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism, ableism, and a cissexist heteropatriarchy. Oberlin College and Conservatory uses the limited number of Black and Brown students to color in its brochures, but then erases us from student life on this campus. You profit off of our accomplishments and invisible labor, yet You expect us to produce personal solutions to institutional incompetencies. We as a College-defined “high risk,” “low income,” “disadvantaged” community should not have to carry the burden of deconstructing the white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist system that we took no part in creating, yet is so deeply embedded in the soil upon which this institution was built.
After continuing in this manner for a while and outlining some broad goals (such as “the eradication hegemony in the curriculum”), the document begins to reel off demands, warning that they are “not polite requests, but concrete and unmalleable demands.” If Oberlin doesn’t capitulate, the document warns of a “full and forceful response,” though, despite the detailed demands, what the “response” would be remains entirely undefined.
A 40 percent increase in the number of black students in the school’s jazz department by 2022 (demands related to the jazz department are in general very numerous).
The elimination of the school’s No Trespass list, which bars certain individuals deemed unsafe from entering campus, because it includes blacks in disproportionate numbers.
The creation of a bridge program that will recruit recently-released prisoners to enroll at Oberlin for undergraduate courses
“A more inclusive audition process in the Conservatory that does not privilege Western European theoretical knowledge over playing ability.”
Adding Africa-centric course requirements for all departments that have existing Western civilization-themed course requirements. For example, history majors are required to take a U.S. history course, so they should also be required to take a course on African history prior to 1800.
The establishment of special, segregated black-only “safe spaces” across campus, including in the central library and the school’s science building.
An $8.20/hour stipend for black student leaders who are organizing protest efforts
The creation of a school busing system for Oberlin, Ohio’s K-12 schools, paid for by the college.
The immediate firing of eight college employees for various offenses, including music theory professor Allen Cadwallader for “the racist undertones of his course as well as the way in which he treats black Jazz who take his course, which is rooted in white supremacy.”
While the long list of demands clearly involved a substantial amount of effort, one interesting aspect is its authorship is not totally clear. The original Google Docs post of the demands (which has since been deleted) credits them to ABUSUA, a black student group, but that group doesn’t appear to have much of a public online presence, and there’s also no outside evidence of them taking credit for it. But some other Oberlin organizations, like its pro-Palestine group, have publicly endorsed the demands, and there was also an online document collecting signatures which, according to the blog Legal Insurrection, surpassed 400 before also being taken down.
Whatever the demands’ origin, it’s not a huge surprise that they’ve popped up at Oberlin. Two years ago, the school had a series of hate crimes faked by liberal students, and earlier this year an appearance by feminism critic Christina Hoff Sommers prompted students to create a special “safe space” for students who felt emotionally traumatized by her lecture.
I read the whole demands list article admin samples at zero hedge. If you dare, go read it. Caution, your head may explode. Cissexist heteropatriarchy complaints and requests for a 4 percent increase in black female identifying players in the jazz band each year til 2022, for a total 40 percent increase. Wtf.Alot of whining and nonsense. Requested segregated black only safe spaces, prison to college bridge program, bussing for the high school paid by the college. Insane.
