We can tho. You are not utter powerless, are you?

Placebo

No. Some foods are better to eat with hands. Early training and culture plays some roles.

ive never systematically
or conspired with someone to systematically
stop the progress of another race
have u???

My fam is from the country side in pakistan, they pretty much eat everything with their hands

I know this is gonna sound stupid, but it kind of tastes better eating rice and stuff with your hands rather than spoons and forks

Maybe it’s just in my Head

My homeboy from Pakistan, his wife just recently shared a ig snap with him eating some Pakistan food with his hands, I know it perfectly normal to eat with your hands too, cause I'm from Nigeria and we got dishes that is mandatory your suppose to eat with your hands.

The reason you may like not eating with a spoon or fork is because of that metal, stainless steel after taste you get when eating.

I don't eat rice with a spoon, just don't like the taste of a metal spoon. Weird to me.

Interesting take.

Never thought about this approach.

I compare it to the same way that we only consider what white men do as being professional in an office setting

You're sick.

Systematic racism =/= racism. That’s why the word “systematic” is used. If not, you’re just being redundant.

nah u can also eat with plastic ones, but I notice typically South Asian, Middle Eastern and possibly African peoples eat with hands.

But when they come to the States, they and we eating halal with plastic forks/spoons.

I am. You’re just not putting it together. What you described, is systematic racism. Not plane Jane racism. No, black people are not in a position to be systematically racist in the US, but that doesn’t mean we can’t discriminate or antagonize someone because of their race. Therefore, black can be racist.

All depends on the meal that is being consumed.

For example, this Nigerian dish fufu with egusi soup. If I saw someone using a fork/spoon.....

This will be my reaction...

Plastic fork/spoon don't matter, it's not the proper food etiquette in Nigeria culture to eat this meal with a fork. Just like how if you went to a Japanese sushi spot and asked for fork and spoon to eat sushi.
It's either you learn how to use chopsticks and try, but if your eating with fork imo it's straight up disrespectful.

Certain halal meals can be eaten with hands, halal =koshe not the typical food cart meals served with rice and meat which is called halal

a food-ish thread alchemist iq can actually post in

Eating and enjoying the food is respecting the food.

You are not obligated to use chopsticks or attempt to eat food the traditional way.

Sure, it is noble if you do it but it really doesn't matter. (My opinion).

If the food is being eaten, you are in fact giving praise and honor to that culture .

Whenever I get noodle soup, I ask for a fork immediately. No need to play around . I want a fork, not chopsticks. I am only speaking for me though.

Idk, I’m not an omniscient negro, I can’t speak for all of us. I’ll tell you a story. Once upon a time my grandparents needed someone to come spray for termites. My uncle set up an appointment. They day came, terminex pulled up and my grand dad said no. He’s not letting a white man come into his house to spray any chemicals. In that moment, my grand dad was racist. He was 85 years old, you know where he was coming from.

My point is, the “black people can’t be racist because we don’t have any power” is a defeated mentality. No we don’t have the power to put any systems in place to oppress another race, but we still ain’t slaves either. We can definitely be put into situations where we can be racist.
