wasn't felafel being used not that long ago?
Racism Racism consists of ideologies and practices that seek to justify, or cause, the unequal distribution of privileges, rights or goods among different racial groups.
saying a Greek eats gyros is not different than saying that cops eat donuts. it's a joke and not in any way saying that the person is of "lesser" value because of their Food consumption.
I'm also not being racist towards my parents for being old when I say they have both spices when the make food, salt and pepper.
in the modern world the width of what is now being treated has racism is very wide. if you say anything negative about a woman, it's sexist, because you are apparently only thinking it's negative because she is a woman, when in fact it could be because she is completely incompetent.
Among the questions about how to define racism are the question of whether to include forms of discrimination that are unintentional, such as making assumptions about preferences or abilities of others based on racial stereotypes, whether to include symbolic or institutionalized forms of discrimination such as the circulation of ethnic stereotypes through the media, and whether to include the sociopolitical dynamics of social stratification that sometimes have a racial component.
In sociology and psychology, some definitions include only consciously malignant forms of discrimination.[4][5] Some definitions of racism also include discriminatory behaviors and beliefs based on cultural, national, ethnic, caste, or religious stereotypes.[2][6] One view holds that racism is best understood as 'prejudice plus power' because without the support of political or economic power, prejudice would not be able to manifest as a pervasive cultural, institutional or social phenomenon
in the end it's back to the simple ideal, if people have predetermined that they are going to get pissed off it's more likely going to happen. whiny people can find anything that other people say racist and offensive.
people need to take their petty difference and bury them away and not look for others to, OH MY GOD, say something offense.
If YOU choose to be OFFENDED then you will for sure find that you are looking for. If you look at things a little more light wholeheartedly you might find a happy life.
so AA can eat his gyros while I eat my steaks and ice cream and bacon and donuts....
