Do other cultures not use mayonnaise as a condiment?

I swear mexican street corn uses it. (Which is amazing)

Also I've seen claims that "europeans/white people" make non spicy food? I've eaten at Italian, Serbian, Greek hell even German restaurants that use some form of spice in it.

I don't get where these people get their steretypes from.

None of those are white except for Germans. And hell, the Germans didn't even like garlic until the past 40-50 years maybe.

And it originates from the horrible food inherited from the English.

Germans were very much involved in helping create sugar via beets and seem to be into things that are much more "sweet" as it were. Also i guess none of my friends were white growing up technically? Huh, Cool. (My friends were all either Italian-American, Serbian-American or Greek-American).

I mean I guess they're just referring to WASP assholes from east coast? I mean that's a common shared hatred from everyone.

i'm doing my best to understand the MTV/Buzz feed mindset on this stuff, and it's a tad confusing.

My intent is not to go "LOL! SJW FAIL! LOSERS!", but rather to be confused as to why this is kind of a phenomenon right now. Example? Why do they seem to group a general population as a whole together, target them, rather than people who are in control of institutes of power?

Mayonnaise is super popular in Japan. People try to make mayonnaise a white people insult, but Japanese people will put mayonnaise on plain white rice
japanese culture is 90% borrowed from other cultures. imperial japan modeled their army after prussia and their navy after britain. tea gardens came from china and baseball came from the US. it's the prime example of how keeping cultures "pure" is a crock of poo poo

Because they identify as elites and all those "independent" outlets are based in the same few places, run by the same type of people, and influenced/run by the same handful of powerful PR firms. The industry as a whole is incestuous, consolidated, and they straight-up collaborate with each other and with powerful elites to manufacture a consensus

I am wondering if somewhere along the line a lot of rich kids who's parents worked within those company's were able to land internships, paid work in those company and kinda mold Social Justice into a "brand", rather than the struggle faced by millions in the US.

e2: This seems to have happened in a lot of the entertainment world. It killed rock radio, MTV, and this sort of "focus group/brand" culture mixed with nepotism really has kinda hurt culture in a lot of ways.

This may sound like an rear end in a top hat thing to say, but I think a lot of those kids never had to focus their major on something in the same way a lot of "normal" college kids had to.

A guy or girl coming from some middle of the road midwestern town has to focus their degree on something that would be in Business, Accounting, Nursing, or what have you because they do not have the nepotism to turn a BS in "Social Justice Studies" into something that would be worthwhile money wise.

Those kids also rarely had to face a lot of the rejections, or struggles that the above did.

I think you guys are focusing maybe too much on the reporter level, many of whom aren't that well educated, when woke as a brand is mostly from marketing folks higher up. Any media org is gonna have more bullshit the higher up the chain you go, like any company.

Actually a lot of top ivy universities do in fact have degrees like that, or similar "design your own" degrees. Because the name and connections from the school is enough to get you a job even with a ridiculous looking title on your diploma.

I know plenty of English and World Affairs majors pulling down 6-7 figures in finance and business.

It's something that's more about class, and less about race.

Rich entitled assholes are going to act like that regardless of what color their skin is. One might get stopped by the cops more for driving their BMW in their 'burbs, but that's a worlds difference than worrying about whether you're going to find work or find food even.

I appreciate those words btw. :)

As a serious note, if she's actually doing that, it's really cool of her. Allowing poor people to reach for higher education without getting them foreverially delitized w/ a tongue made out of student loans is a mindset I almost never see from the wealthy class, not without some strings attached.

loving Channel 19.

They were always well behind WJW, WKYC and WEWS. They became a station in 1985 while the others have existed since at least the 50's. They even got their Fox affliation nabbed from them as a result of the NFC package going to Fox. (WJW, who's actually well thought of locally grabbed it from them).

Then the Browns left, The AFC package went back to CBS and they still pull this tabloid level sensationalism to grab viewers to their news programs.

sorry for the local cleveland rant there. But man this isn't the first time they've pulled this poo poo.

On another note.

(serious post)

I kinda wonder if social justice becoming this sort of fad/fashion statement is going to continue to cause more backlash? We could be seeing this sort of centrist, portraitist version of "social justice" dying off in the near future.

I kinda struggle to think how the :911: people will tolerate very much more of this. This isn't just a thought that rural whites will go "gently caress this poo poo", but I also wonder if we'll see various groups these people are advocating for get tired of the preachiness and lack of entertainment coming from these people. I imagine for most :911:'s they like the idea of shutting their brains off for a few hours, and not to be preached to on a nightly basis.

(I do think we'll see sincere lefty's sprout up from what has happened over this time period, but it will not be from the crop of people using social justice as their own personal fashion statement. )

e: Oh my god. If you want cancer? Read this loving article.
