Opinion | Anita Mannur: It's frustrating to watch the (distant) descendants of the Europeans who colonized our countries for spices have the audacity to not be able to distinguish among them. - NBCNewsTHINK
in today’s society. That’s a good thing. That Weingarten was able to so easily make, write and publish such an ignorant statement is less positive.
It remains incredibly frustrating to watch the descendants of the Europeans who colonized our countries for spices have the audacity to not be able to distinguish among them.. It seems like every few weeks we hear a story about someone capitalizing on or denigrating Asian foods.
It seems like every few weeks we hear a story about someone capitalizing on or denigrating Asian foods.they are complex. This is not about personal food preferences. There is a way to talk about food that doesn’t exoticize it or, equally bad, reduce a complex, hugely varied cuisine to a reductive, incorrect stereotype.
Because, again, “curry” is not a term that most Indians use to describe our food; it is an invention of white people. If we call our foods “curry,” it is to make things easier for the mainstream. I may not remember the names and faces of the white bullies who tormented me as a child anymore, but I do remember the sting of their words. Perhaps that is why when I hear about curry and Indian food being spoken about in such ignorant terms, I feel rage.
