Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches racist?

[phill4paul]

Did you know that eating or even talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could be considered racist?

That’s right.

Apparently, it’s because people in some cultures don’t eat sandwich bread. Verenice Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland explained in and interview with the Portland Tribune:

“Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year,” the Tribune said.

“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez asked. “Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”

…The Tribune noted that the school started the new year with “intensive staff trainings, frequent staff meetings, classroom observations and other initiatives,” to help educators understand their own “white privilege,” in order to “change their teaching practices to boost minority students’ performance.”"Last Wednesday, the first day of the school year for staff, for example, the first item of business for teachers at Scott School was to have a Courageous Conversation — to examine a news article and discuss the ‘white privilege’ it conveys,” the Tribune added.

Gutierrez completed a week-long seminar called “Coaching for Educational Equity,” a program the Tribune says focuses “on race and how it affects life.” She also serves on an administrative committee that focuses on systematic racism.

“Our focus school and our Superintendent’s mandate that we improve education for students of color, particularly Black and Brown boys, will provide us with many opportunities to use the protocols of Courageous Conversations in data teams, team meetings, staff meetings, and conversations amongst one another,” she said in a letter to staff.

You can read more about principal Gutierrez’s sandwich-sensitivity philosophy here.

Next time you’re in the bread aisle at the grocery store, you may want to think twice. Sensitive liberal educators are now recommending the “torta” or the “pita” as a more culturally inclusive alternative.

Now that you’ve been made aware of the evil of PB&J, there’s only one question left to answer: Is white bread more racist than whole wheat?

Why aren't these teachers telling the administration to shove their "white privilege" right up their oversensitive asses?

Good grief this politically correct BS is outta hand.

[tod evans]

From a couple weeks back;


I've got Kraut, Frog and Limey blood running through my old hillbilly veins and you know what?

I don't want special treatment or consideration because of my mutt genealogy, no legislation passed on my behalf and certainly no sympathy from the race baiting MSM.

If you don't like who you are that's your problem.

If you don't like slang terms used in relation to your ancestors that's your problem.

But.........If you want special treatment because of your linage and work to pass legislation that infringes on me, that's my problem.

Grow the fuck up!

Work and make a place for yourself in the world instead of trying to change the world to suit your idiosyncrasies.

And to all of the folks who think they're "special" from the klan to the SPLC......Fuck off!

Rant off.

Is it just because I have been reading the RPF or have incidents of people claiming racism, gayism, sexism, criminalism, or any other ism on the rise? Have people really gotten so think skinned or is the media just blowing this all out of proportion?

Has everyone become afraid of their own shadow? Here in Bama yesterday, at least two counties worth of schools were evacuated because someone couldn't get their drug stash off of the train car used to smuggle it across the border. In Florida a mall was put on lockdown as well as neighboring schools because a waiter was carrying an apron.

Could I just be an insensitive bastard? I just don't know.

Ermmmm, I had a peanut butter and jelly taco just yesterday. It was on a corn tortilla. Guess I have one on a flour tortilla tonight just to keep racially balanced.

[Philhelm]

What's silly (other than the entire premise), is that even if there were a kernel of truth in the statement, the issue isn't racial, but cultural. Race and culture are not the same thing.

Most cultural differences certainly seem to fall along racial lines.

Not to leave anybody out, I'm going to make a batch of Crumpets and eat them with peanut butter and jelly tomorrow.

[Philhelm]

Most cultural differences certainly seem to fall along racial lines.

Still not the same thing. Eating pita bread, tortillas, or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are manifestations of culture, not race. A black child born and raised in the United States is no more culturally African than I am - they're going to be eating PB&J, not zebra sandwiches.

They changed the name to King Dons for awhile because dim wits would confuse the original name with something else. Good to see they returned to the original name again.

We should make a bunch of PB&J sandwiches and leave them on the Principal's doorstep.

Also, it's Portland, so what do you expect. Yet another beautiful state ruined by an urban cesspool.

In total agreement. I'm not certain what "white privilege" is, and don't understand why I'm expected to feel shame about growing up eating pb&j's or Cap'n Crunch while watching professional wrestling on a Saturday morning. Next step will be only teaching in espanol.

Hey! Isn't there racial overtones to a sandwich with white bread surrounding colored ingredients in a can?

Well, actually there was a dispute with another manufacturer. But I always thought it was about ignorance, much the same way one would hear snickers when the 6th grade teacher mentions Pussy Willows.

So were you one of those who laughed when the elementary teacher mentioned Pussy Willows?

Edit:

And what is so inappropriate about the name Pussy Willow? They are soft and fuzzy just like a pussy cat.

Well. I don't know. When Gutierrez scribbles up something indicative that she knows a lil suntin suntin about a sugar samich or a syrup samich, I'll waste the keystrokes on her. Until then though...yeah...probably not.

So one day Gaston sees Boudreaux headed out to the bayou with a boat load of alligator clips

Gaston: Hey Boudreaux, where's you going with the alligator clips?

Boudreaux: To get me some alligators. Wanna come?

Gaston: Forget it. You can't catch alligators with alligator clips.

Boudreaux shrugged and went on his way. A few hours later Gaston was surprised to see Boudreaux arrive with a boat load of alligators.

The next day Boudreaux left the dock with a boatload of ducttape.

Gaston: Boudreaux, where are you going with all that ducttape?

Boudreaux: To catch some duck, what else? Wanna come help me?

Gaston: Forget it. You can't get ducks with ducks with ducttape.

Boudreaux shrugged and went on his way. A few hours later Boudreaux came back with a boatload of ducks.

The next day Gaston was sitting on the dock. His eyes grew large as Boudreaux came by with a boatload of pussywillow. He called after Boudreaux.

Gaston: Wait up Boudreaux, let me grab my jacket.

[MRK]

I have also been the subject of peanut butter and jelly discrimination.

I went to the store here the other day (somewhere in SE Asia) and really wanted some peanut butter and jelly.

To my surprise, a small jar of peanut butter was $3, and a small jar of jelly was also $3. This is approximately 3x as expensive as what I would pay in the Midwest of the USA for the same products. The local foods were priced similarly to what their US equivalents would cost.

So why is the PBJ out of all foods so expensive?

Now I realize that it is because of my family background.
