Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches Racist

http://blog.auntyacid.com/omg-peanut-butter-jelly-sandwiches-are-now-racist/

With so many sensitive “politically correct” issues arising in the 21st century. The truth is we are now living in a society where even food can be deemed racist. Yes, you heard us FOOD! We’re not kidding.  When I heard this though, I thought it was completely ridiculous!

 

Principal of Harvey Scott School (K-8) in Portland, Oregon, Verenice Guiterrez made an outlandish announcement that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are actually racist and should be banned! Crazy, right?

1pbj

 

Why? Because, she explained that some students – such as those from Mexico or Somalia – don’t eat bread in their culture, they have pitas, tortas, and other bread substitutes.

Therefore serving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is a display of white supremacy, and does not cater for ethnic diversity. The principal wants to cancel out this supposed racial privilege and “change their teaching practices to boost minority students’ performance.”

 

Has the world gone mad? What do you think? Food doesn’t make racial comments,  It’s two slices of bread with a yummy filling and can be enjoyed by all. I think they are delicious, they are nutritious, full of energy and are cheap! That’s probably why millions of people eat PB&Js every day! Maybe the only solution is that we need to come together one day and create a new universal type of bread that we all agree on. Sound’s likely, not.

 

Hmm, well maybe I should rush to the store and buy some whole wheat bread to broaden my kitchens racial diversity?

bread

Has this gone too far?

I think the principal is being ridiculous.

PB&J isn't racist, unless you only have them with Grape Jelly, because Strawberries are a different vegetation race.

My child's lunch doesn't have to "cater to ethnic diversity". It only has to cater to her stomach. When my grandma packed my dad's lunches with Italian bread and salami sandwiches was she being racist ? Or was she catering to ethnic diversity?

Boosting minority student performance has nothing to do with PBJ sandwiches.

 Let me answer your questions one at a time.  Yes it does.  No it doesn't.  Yes she was.  No she wasn't.  Yes it does.

I say if you have time to figure out PB&J is racist you have way too much time on your hands.

My kids actually like peanut butter and jelly on tortillas. I think it's gross but they like it.

You know, articles like this make a person want to poke stupid people with a stick.

Stupid. I suppose she thinks American cheese should banned too. Cuz we wouldn't want the non-American students to feel left out.

LOL! Yep!

Swiss cheese too. It fails on two counts - holey and it's obviously racist since it's named Swiss cheese ...

Maybe we should close ethic restaurants, too... No more Italian, Chinese, Thai, French, Basque, etc. etc. Want to include every ones food in the menus....

 Absolutely.  We just need like five bland meals and just serve the same ones all the time so no one is offended.

I can't believe that these types of articles get published. I think I will have polish sausage for dinner tonight, maybe canadian bacon for breakfast. Definitely greek yogurt for lunch.

 You cant. And no. It isn't sugar free. 

But I would bet it has significantly less sugar than store brands.

He makes an awesome apple butter too.

 If it's sugar free- it would not be real.  There is not a fruit in nature that doesn't contain sugar.

How about "no sugar added"?

No sugar added I can handle. My Polaner All Fruit is sweetened only with fruit juice and thankfully not apple. The ingredients:

Juice concentrates (pear, grape, pineapple) Strawberries, Citric Acid, Fruit Pectin, Natural flavor (what???? strawberries aren't natural enough?)
