Young Earth Creationism is a fairly modern thing. People have been debating that the Genesis creation is more of a spiritual allegory about the nature of God and Man's relationship to him since the 1st Century AD, and Augustine of Hippo made a pretty famous argument for it in the 4th Century. Darwin himself even said that his theory was never intended to replace God, and the Catholic Church has promoted "God made evolution " for decades. Young Earh Creationism is a largely new, and largely AMerican movement.

so a guy on my fb keeps linking to all the articles on everydayfeminism and for some reason, don't think these are crazy article claims doctor saw her as fat and didn't diagnose her lung cancer, clearly not merely misdiagnosing and must be fat-shaming article claims that negative people are people with depression and bipolar, removing them from your life means "saneism". does not address removing people who are general negative shits from your life article quotes the email of a woman asking for a favour, claims it's entitlement, claims "networking" is the ruin of the middle class instead of a normal thing people do

Make diverse friends with different skills and backgrounds. Mention to none of them your wants or needs for self-development. If they have something you need or access to a place you'd like to work at, don't mention it at all. You are a monster for thinking this person you know and like might ALSO be willing to help you improve your life. gently caress. YOU.

ahahah i dug deeper and this site is SO WEIRD http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/11/foodie-without-appropriation/ quote:The Feminist Guide to Being a Foodie Without Being Culturally Appropriative what does any of that has to do with feminism also a trigger warning on trigger warnings quote:Like this phenomenal article, Everyday Feminism definitely believes in giving people a heads up about material that might provoke our reader’s trauma. However, we use the phrase “content warning” instead of “trigger warning,” as the word “trigger” relies on and evokes violent weaponry imagery. This could be re-traumatizing for folks who have suffered military, police, and other forms of violence. So, while warnings are so necessary and the points in this article are right on, we strongly encourage the term “content warning” instead of “trigger warning.” http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/10/when-police-stop-you-with-pot/ quote:4 ‘Magic’ Phrases You Need If the Police Stop You For Pot — or Anything Else

Did you need to quote that entire article? That site is the Upworthy of feminism, but white people monetizing food from cultures that are not theirs or saying they "discovered this amazing pho restaurant" that has been in business for ten years is a lovely thing to do, as a white person. Race issues have to do with feminism because women come in all colors, not just the white kind. Dudes who overdo the feminism talk usually have questionable motives and a less than comprehensive grasp of their reasoning.

I never know how to react to articles like this. On the one hand, I am a young white guy who loves "ethnic" restaurants,, meaning that I am exactly the sort of person who would do something like this without noticing. On the other hand, I am unclear of why exactly it is a bad thing. Sorry for enjoying a piece, however minor, of your culture, I guess? It sucks that someone was made fun of for the food they ate, and I can see how having that be the hip new thing could be frustrating, but don't take it out on people just wanting to try something unusual from their point of view, jeez. Might I add that, if we Italians can suffer the indignity of pineapple pizza being a thing, you can deal as well.

I can guarantee you that none of those people have an even remotely accurate understanding of what evolution is.

That's so stupid, how can you believe that?"

"Discover" is very often used to mean that it was novel or unexpected to the speaker, and not that they were the first to experience it. What am I as a white person appropriating if I "discover a great little diner"?

No one as a single individual enjoying another culture's food matters, as far as what the article is talking about goes. It's when American culture suddenly decides a minority's culture, specifically food, is worth noticing and begins to commercialize it, usually with white people being the ones to majorly profit off of it and ignoring minority business owners who have struggled for years to keep their places open.

The food appropriation thing is a problem. It's basically a kind of gentrification and it doesn't really have anything to do with the ethnicity of the person serving the food as it has more to do with white middle class bias and prejudices playing a sort of "Gatekeeper" game. In terms of restaurant service it happens when a white chef starts selling for $25 a product copied from what had been sold in an ethnic restaurant for $5 when that ethnic restaurant had been previously shunned by white customers for being in a dodgy area of town or "too" ethnic (i.e. not white) to previously give attention. In terms of "Discovering" a restaurant it suggests that the restaurant had been previously dismissed for being "too" ethnic and/or being in a dodgy part of town, but now that A Nice White Lady (tm) has found it and declared it to be Not At All Scary (r) it's ok for white people to go there, so it now "Officially" exists. As a fan of going to less-white areas and enjoying the food that's served there in weird holes-in-the-wall and/or street service style, I've seen it happen a number of times.

White people do probably do a better job at catering to white tastes in terms of palate and decor, which is all you really need to bring white people in droves. Some of the best "ethnic" restaurants I've been to don't really pay much attention to decor beyond sticking a calendar and some paintings on the wall, so they're not going to snag the interest of the hipster couple that wants to eat under Edison lights on a refurbished barnwood table.

When it comes to cultural appropriation I wonder if the people writing the articles understand history. Basically everything ever done in history has been a form of cultural appropriation and not just buy conquer but by things like trade and alliances. If you look at things like food and places around the Mediterranean you will notice a lot of overlap food wise even though the cultures are different. And you what. That's great. Also being of one ethnicity and enjoying things of another is not a bad thing. It's a pretty good thing. It shows an understanding of things different from your own culture. Anything otherwise is pretty much segregation of cultures. We know how good that is.

This is an argument that's been made a thousand times, and the difference between sharing culture and appropriating is a fine and delicate line. One one hand, yeah good food should be enjoyed by as many people as possible, but on the other white people are trash and don't deserve nice things since we always loving ruin it (white versions of Indian dishes are just embarrassing, clueless hipsters wearing native headdresses while smoking weed at lovely music festivals, etc).
