"i suspect this comes down to marketing. Oliver, or more likely his team, come up with a product they think will sell. Oliver's Tasty Rice in a Packet might not sell, so the marketing people need to find a label that resonates. Jerk. So food that is not authentic jerk is labelled as jerk. It's like a factory in India turning out a local spirit and labelling it as Scotch Whisky. The ingredients might be similar but Scotch Whisky it obviously is not. Still, I don't suppose the publicity has done the sales of the product any harm. Not that I'll be buying it. " but surely if you jerk the packet as you open it it meets the criteria | |||

"Almost everything we do, say, eat, or wear has signs of ‘cultural appropriation’. If anyone is wondering why we have such a problem with racism in the ‘enlightened’ post-fascist 21st century then look no further. Everyone seems to want to claim their own racially or culturally pure corner. It’s a recipe for disaster. (pun very much intended)" I agree. 'We want to be equal but different to everyone else.' | |||

""Cultural appropriation" is a bullshit term that doesn't mean anything No, it does mean something - but I agree not in this context..." I agree jerk rice is a stupid term. We can just add it to all the other stupid terms that people throw around at the moment. I know what the looney left think cultural appropriation means, fundamentally it's just the definition of racism to say that one group can wear this /eat this / like this music and another can't. | |||

"It’s definitely not cultural appropriation, I think that’s very far fetched. However Jamie is a dumbass trying to make “jerk rice” you cannot jerk rice, it’s made for meat/fish and had he done his research before selling more of his shitty food he’d have known that! I’ve hated him since he took the bad food out of schools haha!" Haha, how very true, but at least all the non racial minority people have come out to tell you what you can and can't be bothered about. Good god, it's a rice dish, how have any of you turned it into an opportunity to rise up and start your race cards again. | |||

She's not on fab swingers as far as I'm aware and I haven't seen her comment, or did I miss something
Just for clarity calling a pa let of vile rice jerk chicken isn't racist, and not is cultural appropriation. I do wish people could understand the difference between race, culture and religion. And then just stop talking about it all bloody day, it is so boring and constantly winds people up against minorities because they are constantly being told how to feel and think.
If any of this isn't already common sense then there is little hope for the future. | |||

"Think this is a classic case of an MP trying raise their profile by virtue signalling against a celeb that is assumed as a popular soft target, but completely misreading the situation because us plebs instead call it and her for the bullshit it really is. I can tell you now I won't be boycotting my local Indian restaurant because the Bangladeshi chefs cooking an mock Anglo interpretation of Indian food are culturally misappropriating! Ffs, pass me the nam bread! " They do prawn omelettes and chicken n chips at my local Chinese. Bad times. | |||

"It’s definitely not cultural appropriation, I think that’s very far fetched. However Jamie is a dumbass trying to make “jerk rice” you cannot jerk rice, it’s made for meat/fish and had he done his research before selling more of his shitty food he’d have known that! I’ve hated him since he took the bad food out of schools haha! Haha, how very true, but at least all the non racial minority people have come out to tell you what you can and can't be bothered about. Good god, it's a rice dish, how have any of you turned it into an opportunity to rise up and start your race cards again. Since when is Dawn Butler not a racial minority? She's not on fab swingers as far as I'm aware and I haven't seen her comment, or did I miss something
Just for clarity calling a pa let of vile rice jerk chicken isn't racist, and not is cultural appropriation. I do wish people could understand the difference between race, culture and religion. And then just stop talking about it all bloody day, it is so boring and constantly winds people up against minorities because they are constantly being told how to feel and think.
If any of this isn't already common sense then there is little hope for the future.
Dawn is the MP who said it, and I was just confused as she is a PoC and so didn’t see why she wasn’t allowed to say her opinion. But I’ve got what you’re saying now, you mean simply on here - although I don’t think anyone on the thread has said it’s the most important point of the day to discuss, I do however respect Dawn, and know her, so support her right and interest and freedom of speech to call it out if she feels it important to do so - and, it’s not taken her away from her excellent work and achievement as an MP, it took her minutes to tweet about. Fair play to her.
Also fair play to anyone who disagrees.
If you read her tweet, it's fine until the last sentence. It's ok that she thinks it's a dumb name, it is. But the use terms like appropriation just makes her sound like an idiot.
You’re welcome to your opinion. I don’t think it’s necessarily an incorrect term, and yet can have that opinion without that meaning I think it’s the most important thing to address in the world, however I don’t think you or I really get to tell Dawn what she should or shouldn’t feel is cultural appropriation when it’s neither your or my culture in question.
If it's a matter of logic and reason then my race isn't relevant. Deciding whose opinions matter based on race is... concerning

"How dull as all this? Beyond bloody belief, all day every day! Anybody ever though about discussing sex and swinging on a sex and swinging site, lol. Last time I checked the lounge was here for all sorts of topics. Go start one about a topic you're interested in. Personally I find those who can only converse about tits cocks and fannies rather dull.
And I find white people talking about racism an embarrassment.
But why on earth wouldn't you find talking about sex, boring on a sex site.
What, I find boring is white people pontificating about racism every damn day, have you noticed that black people rarely join in, they are bored of it. Every newspaper article with white people being offended on black peoples behalf because obviously we aren't capable of protesting on our own without white intervention to show us how to do it properly.
I would just rather get on with my fun, happy and enjoyable life, not have my face rubbed in it every day by white people, and deal in my own way with the rare little bit of racism that does bother me. Without all the guardian readers jumping in front to protect me. Is that OK? Everybody else jumping in to defend all the time does more harm than good, just gets everybodies backs up so when there is a real issue it degenerates into the same pathetic argument as this one over a bag of damn rice. Pathetic doesn't even begin to cover it.
I'm sure there's something in your life that isn't perfect, fancy reading about it all day every day? No I didn't think so. "Yet you chose to open a thread about cultural appropriation, read it and comment on it multiple times. Odd behaviour for someone who doesn't want to read about racism all the time. If I don't want to read skinny people telling fat people how to lose weight I simply don't read threads where that might happen and carry on with my life. I think the consensus of this thread is that the topic is absurd and that there are bigger (salt)fish to fry. | |||

Much better than listening to you talk about something you don't know about. Now you've given me a great idea of a topic to start everyday. | |||
