White people can't make good food.

They can only take a trip to some other country on their parents money, eat some cultural dish once, then incorrectly think that they can make the same stuff as well, so they come home to start a ramen shop or whatever in some rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, churn out an overpriced disgusting knockoff and ramble about the "artistry" oblivious to the fact that thier implementation is devoid of charm until either they go under or get bored with it and move on to the next thing.

This usually happens in waves of whatever the fad of the time is, so any attempt by actual people of said culture to serve the same thing is either blocked out cause there's already 80 white hipster joints catering to specific time sensitive taste of urbanites or left to scrap for the leftover business after the fad dies out.

I can see why people would be sensitive of any cultural artifacts catching the eye of white people.

The French are predominantly white.

 I dont think anyone cares about people not learning the deep and storied history of foreign cuisine. but, I think we can all agree that it would be remarkably stupid for someone to say guy fieri is the authority on authentic texmex

 The history of rock and roll and how it stampeded over black people is really interesting, and it would be really interesting if you posted about it instead of melting down in a cspam thread

I remember some guy posting in ask/tell about how sick and tired he was of straights overwhelming the leather scene and loving up their events and he might of even used the term cultural appropriation. Sorry sickos, your extremely weird sex expos are now main stream so get used to the fact suburban moms are going to come with their kids and complain about the loud music

They can appropriate having sex with men too if they want to show up to gay events
