Apple pie is allegedly racist because of colonial food injustice
Racism Score: 0.0
This story is so preposterous we will keep it short and sweet.
UK Food writer Raj Patel allegedly believes America’s apple pie is star-spangled racist. Here is a super summarized list of his reasons.
- Apple = Colonizer fruit
- Sugar = Slave trade commodity
- Gingham cloth (pictured below) = Cultural appropriation from Native Americans
Seriously, Patel uses those talking points to highlight the racist past of America’s apple pie.
We stated allegedly earlier because we are having a hard believing someone took the time to concoct this idiocy, even though we know Patel’s article is real.
We will leave you with this expert from Patel.
People sure have a way of overthinking things and this idiot is trying to increase racial tension by blemishing a delectable dessert.
Listen Raj, mind your own business and leave America’s apple pie alone!
