Are POC born without taste receptors for coconut? That's what I'm getting for this and this is right up there with "Jews cast tornadoes"

I think this touches on why some forms appropriation happens though - a lot of white people don't want to be basic, salt of the earth white people. They're trying to differentiate themselves from other white people who are content to never leave the whiteness that pervades every day life. It's a hamfisted an…

Pick a swedish foodstuff with umlots and you will not like it.

Nope, John Kruk is what we're looking for. John Kruk.

I'm waiting for white chocolate to replace chocolate, because you know, I don't like chocolate and I don't think anyone else does either.
