Is Cauliflower racist?
Jump to: Newest in thread
A new congresswoman walking through New York promoting community vegetable plots:
“But when you really think about it — when someone says that it’s ‘too hard’ to do a green space that grows Yucca instead of, I don’t know, cauliflower or something — what you’re doing is that you’re taking a colonial approach to environmentalism, and that is why a lot of communities of color get resistant to certain environmentalist movements because they come with the colonial lens on them,” Ocasio-Cortez said."
Personally I can't stand cauliflower, maybe we can just all agree to cancel it? |

"Cauliflower is rank. Down with this sort of thing. Cancel it.
Nah, I like it, you can cancel celery instead  "
celery is only acceptable when it is served in a Bloody Mary and is only for decoration |

Wierd racism take.
Sounds to me like the broad point she's trying to get across is that environmental initiatives are too often high-handed paternalistic dictats from authority which don't take the wishes of local people into account.
You know - a conservative take
I'd want to see the full context before I completely commit to this being a position that could just as have easily been made by a conservative - but taken at face value it looks pretty clear to me. |

"Cauliflower is best served coated with a rich cheese sauce ...
I agree, cauliflower cheese is delicious
But last week cheese was racist.  "
Indeed, can't imagine anything more racist than that combo. Disgraceful. |

I got her point,its not indicative to this land mass.... so lets stop buying oranges in UK, rather than r*ping the food produced from another area, taking it coz we can afford to,.....it's sick!
My point is how extreme do you want a point to be? To then follow through on it is normally laughable... |

What's she doing if its not a paternalistic dictat?
Maybe all politicians and woke campaigners could step back and let people grow whatever vegetable they want and not feel the need to stick their oar in. |

Yes I do, seems like what she has said has triggered you though, which is a good thing, you have taken the time to start a debate on the subject |

No it isn't
She actively went there and opined what people should grow. |

Yes it is
she didn't go there and opined that it's up to individual communities what they grow or even if they do it at all.
It's there in black and white - it's not difficult to understand.
Why she's taking a conservative position is the difficult bit |
