there's so much injustice in the world yet a highschool senior chose to address the cutesy ethnic food branding at Trader Joes. RIP Trader Giotto and Trader José.

@georgia trader giotto had the best penne i ever had not made by my nona... some meatballs, a bit of red sauce? kisses fingers like chef

@vriska full disclosure I found the cutesy ethnic food branding to be endearing

@georgia i did too and it upsets me its gone. it was funny. was anyone truly offended by this? like, did some italian guy call up joe and complain

@vriska it was a highschool senior looking for something to put on their college application prolly

@georgia "I complained so much it caused a 4 hour long news story!"

"welcome to havard. we will be accepting your parents paycheck now"

@vriska to me this seems like the first step to "food can only be sold by the ethnic group it comes from"

@georgia they (idiots on tumblr) tried that shit 5 years ago or so and got laughed out of town for it. I've been called racist for listening to rap music and eating soul food even though I grew up in a place where I was in a very small white minority. its so fucked

@vriska @georgia Those were some fun times. I liked the post about the woman putting hot dogs in her ramen causing all of Japan to sink into the ocean.
Also white women accusing asian women of cultural appropriation for wearing kimonos. Always fun.
