Now the word CURRY is racist: Food blogger says it’s time to cancel the ‘British colonial’ term for south-Asian food
- South Asian American Chaheti Bansal, 27, shares home cooking recipes online
- She told followers it's time the word curry fell out of use due to its western origin
- Ms Bansal says it is used by white people who 'couldn't be bothered to learn the actual names' of Indian dishes and lumps very different Asian cuisines together
So it is.Every schmuck can have a blog
Nobody appears to have actually said the word curry is racist. I suspect The Daily Mail made that up (note: The Daily Mail is often racist, fraudulent and treats it's readers like idiots, possibly with some justification).Is the word "curry" racist?
Is the word "curry" racist?
I am interested to hear what you think about it.
FYI: This questions seems to be an old hat in the USA.
But I read about it only a few days ago in a German article.
It will be no use to link to that article.
Later I googled for an article in English and I will now google again.
And link the article here.
It is not as if I knew all this "all along".

Here is an article in English now:
Food blogger says it's time to cancel 'British colonial' term curry
South Asian American Chaheti Bansal shares home cooking recipes online and told her followers its time the word curry stopped being used as an umbrella term for very different cuisines.www.dailymail.co.uk
Perhaps if we say: "See-You-Are-Are-Why" - then we are on the safe side, as we have not actually used that maybe-racist word.I do not know.
Maybe we had better get a ruling from one of the founders of BLM
I hear that she may be at one of her houses in Canada, but I guess she'll be returning soon to collect more corporate donations.
Until we hear from her, we should probably not use that word. At a restaurant, just tell the server: "I would like some rice with that spicy sauce, please."
Not even that woke blogger said that curry in itself was racist - only the word was racist.To my knowledge curry isn’t a racist word in the U.S. and I love curry. I eat curry frequently and often grind spices to make my own curry.
Having said that it wouldn’t surprise me if some knuckle dragging, window licking hater is going to find a way to use the word in a racist manner.
One of her houses - how many has she got then?I hear that she may be at one of her houses in Canada, but I guess she'll be returning soon to collect more corporate donations.
Now curry branded 'racist': Woke food blogger sparks UK fury - society told 'unlearn' word
CURRY has been branded a "racist" word which society must "unlearn" because of its ties to British colonialism, a woke food blogger has claimed.
No .. it's a spice often used in South Asian cuisine ... what's racist about that? Unless you are an oversensitive liberal concerned with cultural appropriation.Is the word "curry" racist?

Yes, she is very "interesting."One of her houses - how many has she got then?
I think is should google for that interesting person.
Every schmuck can have a blog, someone making a stupid comment on a blog does not mean the word curry is racist, its just some loser wrote a blog
The Yiddish word shmok derives from Old Polish smok "grass snake, dragon".[2][3][4]
In the German language, the word Schmuck means "jewelry, adornment".[5] It is a nominalization of the German verb schmücken "to decorate" and is unrelated to the word discussed in this article.[2]
Because of its generally being considered a vulgarity,[6] the word is often euphemized as schmoe, which was the source of Al Capp's cartoon strip creature the shmoo.[7] Other variants include schmo and shmo.
Leo Rosten writes in The Joys of Yiddish that schmuck is commonly viewed among Jews as an obscene word that should not be said lightly.[8] Lenny Bruce, a Jewish stand-up comedian, wrote that the use of the word during his performances in 1962 led to his arrest on the West Coast, "by a Yiddish undercover agent who had been placed in the club several nights running to determine if [his] use of Yiddish terms was a cover for profanity".
I think curry in US and in Uk mean different things. In the UK it's more of a catch all for any south asian cuisine and is therefore derivative and slightly derogatory. Like if all German food was called "Kraut".So it is.
My question now is:
Did that "Schmuck" have lots of followers?
And did lots of people agree with him - in the US and elsewhere?
So far as I am aware it isn't, but the extent of my knowledge about curry is having made one recipe of it once, and probably ordering it somewhere a few times.Is the word "curry" racist?

Uh, Indians have also been referred to (and referred to themselves) as southeast asians for many decades. You're a bit late to the party, dude.She is "South Asian American" - so I have read somewhere.
Is "South Asian" now the new woke word for "Indian"?
