Recently a professor at the University of Connecticut found another example of rampant white dominance
It seems that dining on French cuisine is considered a brand of whiteness and for that the left has no tolerance
French food you see is presented in a way shaped by an upper and middle class norm
Causing people of color to dine like white people therefore the white principle of etiquette causes all to conform
So let’s flip the script on these broad brush strokes of profiling stupidity for just a moment
And force the French to dine like people of color at least according to television ads as a form of atonement
It seems a great majority of broadcast commercials feature black families eating at a fast food diner
Apparently ad executives feel black people have a penchant for preservatives, high fructose corn syrup and meat parts held together with a binder
So let’s put a French family in the same restaurant to figure the complexities of a meal with a toy
This family will first have to get past that everything in the seating area is vinyl or plastic making it hard for the meal to enjoy
Next a napkin was included but the salad, fish, and dinner fork, salad knife and teaspoon were replaced with a disposable spork
There was not a bread plate to be seen nor a cup and saucer, a wine glass or a sommelier for the wine to uncork
There was a very haggard looking woman to advise there were only two ketchup packets allowed per guest
That was okay as the refined palate was already in fear of the two slabs of questionable beef with a special sauce that might be hard to digest
Upon completion of the meal the family gladly disposed of the allegedly recyclable paper goods in the trash container
After a lifetime of dining on real plates with actual silverware, never returning would be a no-brainer
However a valuable lesson was learned when this family realizes the mustard required for the choucroute garnie was forgotten while driving to the picnic on the lawn
At the stoplight they would not have to rap on the glass of the low rider with tinted windows and ask “Pardon me sir, would have any Grey Poupon?”
