College Students Complain About the Cafeteria Food

Is this rice the way you like it?

Boobie the Rocket Dog sends in this article, from the NY Post, about students whining about the inauthenticity of dishes served at colleges.

NY Post-

General Tso’s chicken was made with steamed chicken instead of fried — which is not authentically Chinese, and simply “weird,” one student bellyached in the Oberlin Review.

Others were up in arms over banh mi Vietnamese sandwiches served with coleslaw instead of pickled vegetables, and on ciabatta bread, rather than the traditional French baguette.

“It was ridiculous,” gripes Diep Nguyen, a freshman who is a Vietnam native.

Worse, the sushi rice was undercooked in a way that was, according to one student, “disrespectful” of her culture. Tomoyo Joshi, a junior from Japan, was highly offended by this flagrant violation of her rice. “I f people not from that heritage take food, modify it and serve it as ‘authentic,’ it is appropriative,” she said.

Then there were the black students of Oberlin College.

The subject was fried chicken.

Take a guess what the gripe about fried chicken was. It can go either way.

The cafeteria … had failed to make fried chicken a permanent feature on the Sunday night menu, the school newspaper reported.

So fried chicken wasn’t vilified for being racially insensitive. That’s a relief.

  1. And if they give up and only serve bread and water? They will complain that it’s not the right water and the bread contains gluten.

    Just shut down the cafeteria and make the students go off campus to eat.

  2. the cry babies are getting way to much press

    So, did any college students study and get straight A’s in chemistry? huh? huh? and did they throw little Styrofoam models of CO2 at the cry babies? If not, Why not?

  3. Bread and water? How generous of you. But even those are potential microagressions. Is the bread made from non-GMO wheat? Preservative-free? And if the water is bottled, are the containers made from recycled trash, or are they even recyclable? If tap water, how about all those nasty chemicals, e.g. fluoride, chlorine, and pesticide or hormone traces?

    I’ve got an idea. How ’bout they just eat shit – the ultimate in recycling?
