There are so many people in this country who have absolutely no idea just how bad it's going to get. Even I'm not sure how bad it's going to get, and I fully expect to be either homeless or dead by 2030.

I'm a white Midwesterner. They don't look for "authentic cooking," whatever the hell that is anyway. They need it to be reinterpreted by someone like Ree Drummond to try it out.

I'm half expecting Paula Deen to make a comeback. She was a bit too openly racist too early. Now she can come on TV in full SS regalia and fuckwits on the internet will defend her.

Another boring anti-white bigot form Portland who thinks it's worth the streets being filled with murderers and child rapists for "yummy foods" we can have without importing the third world anyway.

How is this anti-white?

You're dumb as shit, but I'm just gonna tell you that minorities and foreigners are WAY less of a menace than good old fashioned white pepo. Like, any casual google search on US crime statistics will tell you this, bro.

And just because you think white bread and mayonnaise are the height of cuisine doesn't mean the rest of us need to suffer in your boring, empty fucking world.

I will harbor every person from the middle east and mexico if it means I get to keep burritos and falafel. I'd do it anyways if I could, but I'm also very excited by burritos and falafel.

I mean, if you're gonna be a hero you might as be a hero full of delicious burritos and falafel, right?

(Also, shish tawook and chilaquiles and hummus and tacotes!)

I’m in D/FW- Hispanics are in damn near every professional kitchen in the area.

There used to be a great restaurant near me called Ying’s Jalapeño Grill. The owner was a Latina, and at least half of the cooks were of Central/South American ancestry. They had a complete Chinese menu…AND a complete Mexican menu. It was all good. You could order a won ton soup and a burrito plate; quesadillas and sweet & sour pork; etc.

Exactly. And who has always cooked for prosperous white Americans at home? Slaves. Servants. Immigrants. Even if we more recently cook our own food at home, those slaughtering, butchering, picking, processing, stocking, transporting all the fresh ingredients to us are often from elsewhere. We fucked around and we're about to find out.

Too bad they won’t be able to afford the fresh ingredients since no one left to harvest it.

not to mention that, following the battery factory going up in the wildfires, all the farmland in California is now contaminated for god knows how long, so it's not like we were going to be able to eat any of it to begin with.

Yeah but they can import them super cheap because of the tariffs. Or something.

Also, good luck to them getting authentic Mexican food. Better start developing a taste for Taco Bell.

Grocery stores were raising prices even when inflation was down, imagine what they'll do when the actual price of everything skyrockets.

How much more would food cost if you paid a living wage to people born in America to grow it and ship it?

I've lost faith that we will. Even if we fight back against the current rise of fascism, global warming is running out of control and we won't be able to save ourselves long term.

I had mentioned this to someone, how the labor will be gone with "Americans" not wanting to take those jobs, and they proceeded to tell me how I was in support of businesses exploiting illegal immigrants to the point of slavery. Complete nutso.

Sadly, this is very likely. Private prisons will command a workforce that they don't really have to pay and can license out to agricultural companies/farms. And hey, whadaya know, it's made up of the same people they deported. ::sigh:: America, I really hope you physically tear these people from their pedestals.
