The word "sandwich" is racist

[MillCreek]

I do my part for diversity by using whole-grain breads for my sandwiches.  They are a pleasing brownish or beige color, celebrating the rich palette of all skin tones mixed together.

[ArfinGreebly]

Durn tootin'. Better not be no fur on my sammitch.

Not sure what an appropriate response to this would be.

Especially in a context-free environment.

I'd mention that peanut butter was invented by George Wahinton Carver but looking at the article, anything that isn't international culture is racist or something.

He didn't invent peanut butter, but he did have a bunch of other recipes and uses for peanuts.

It's also an American plant that has had the same world effects as the potato, just in a diffrent climate. It's a dietary staple around the world, but particularly in parts of Africa. In some of those places, they use the peanut in their cooking a lot more them we do.

Considering that putting stuff on forms of baked celerals is pretty universal, I'd say "sandwiches" are one of the least culturally specific food out there.


I seriously think this principle and her flunkies need some sense smacked into them.
The said thing is, there are still a few racial inequalities out there that need addressing. This superficial crap and pushing actual racism in the other direction is not only wasting time, it's creating more issues then we already have.

I suppose that we could put something between two slices of bread and call it "Hawaii" 

[ArfinGreebly]

Or maybe "Azores."

Were they also originally called the "Sandwich Islands"

Nah.

I was just staying with the "island" theme.

Figured I'd avoid making it too easy for the others.


I probably should have just gone with the Cook Islands.  Or maybe Vanuatu.

Or I could have gone with a fish, but that's getting pretty obscure.

. . . I probably should have just gone with the Cook Islands . . . 

Also potentially racist - some of these Turd World denizens may not realize that food can be cooked, having never discovered fire.

I think there are still "South Sandwich Islands" near Antarctica.  So Hawaii was really the North Sandwich Islands.

That old Earl was pretty high bread.  He must have had a lot of dough.

[LadySmith]

So, the story thus far...

Sandwiches are racist because not everybody knows what they are.
Sandwiches are also sexist because some guys want women to make them all the time.

As both a minority and a woman, this makes me feel very, very bad...




...for them sammiches.

You have a rye sense of humor 

[ArfinGreebly]

Yer humor runs against the grain.

It's like yer just threshing around tryna find the right words.

Yer oats to be ashamed.

We don't knead that kind of thing here.

Puns like that will get this thread locked.

[Tallpine]

We're toast 

[MillCreek]

But I thought this thread was the greatest thing since sliced bread!

[ArfinGreebly]

Had something longer I wanted to say, but brevity is the soul of wheat.

Somehow I don't find the take-over of my public education system amusing.  We don't take the propagation of our culture, than which nothing is more sacred or important, sufficiently important.

We're using Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" against this, by mocking it.

It goes against the grain with me also. :(

How do you propose that we rise up against our evil cafeteria monitors

One of many reasons why i'm financially positioning myself to send my kid to private school

We homeschooled through 8th grade. 

Nowadays, I'm not sure I would send them to HS either 

[Fitz]

There's a few private schools in the area that are excellent. Home schooling isn't a great option for us. I want my kid to have a solid math and science foundation, and as much as I love my wife, she's not in a position to provide that. So, without me staying home, it wouldn't work well.

[zxcvbob]

I'm still stuck trying to make a pun using "triticale".  :(  If I ever get it, it'll be awesome.

_{(like that time Ted Baxter tried to make a knock knock joke with Anna Maria Alberghetti)}

[slingshot]

I don't care much for home schooling.  There are several excellent private schools in my area, but they are very expensive... not racially exclusive, but cost makes them exclusive.

Pretty humorist about "sandwich" being racist.  I thought it must be a sex thing.
