    Yeah, but it’s delicious appropriation, so it’s fine.

    Elderly Mr. Belmont an infant in the ‘80s? I hope he didn’t mean the 1880s.

    This is a gross misrepresentation of what political correctness and cultural appropriation actually refer to.

    There is a difference between the ugly ‘jokes’ I remember in the 80’s and saying eating Chinese food is cultural appropriation, which seems by the way to be an American phenomenon.

    I think for it to be Cultural Appropriation it has to be presented as authentic when it is not. Clearly, she is not Chinese, and probably most of the ingredients she will use are not from China, but is just labeling the outcome as such truly an unwarranted appropriation of the culture? I think not.

    Zack can culturally misappropriate his bedroom, since he won’t get dinner.

    I wonder how many people really misinterpret cultural misappropriation like this?

    A 12-year old boy getting what “cultural appropriation” wildly wrong is confirmation of “grown up” fascism?

    How about “no?”

    Nailed it. PC was mostly a joke when I was young.

    Today the failure to conform can cost you your job, social standing and in rare cases, even your life.

    There was no such thing as political correctness in the 80’s. Mr. Belmont is thinking of the 90’s. I know it all runs together after a certain age.

    Grown up, yes. Widespread, not really. Kids Zack’s age frequently take whatever cultural views are floating around and dial them up to eleven. By the time they grow up, though, they’ve settled down to a more acceptable level. Not that this is enough for the older generation, who has typically calcified into a state where everything new or “different” must be wrong. Then they turn on their favorite news sources, which hyper-focus on a minority of youngsters with an unregulated sense of empathy or who constantly seek attention. Hence the daily confirmation bias that makes them certain they know more that us who see the real thing every day.
