白人が有色人種の料理文化について話すときは、敬意を持てよという話。

この単語、holdとセットで覚えないとだなー。

Labeling Indian food as based on one spice — curry spice — has racist undertones.

うーん…日本は醤油だし韓国は唐辛子みたいなイメージは各国にあるけど…「インド料理はカレー味だけ」って書かれたらそら馬鹿にすんなって思うか。
oppression
意味 [時に~s]<…に対する> 圧制, 抑圧, (政治的) 締めつけ; 虐待; 弾圧 <of>
This oppression of culinary habits dates back hundreds of years.

vagary
意味 [C] (かたく)[通例-ries]不意の変化, 気まぐれ; とっぴな考え [行為], 奇行.
Weingarten’s ignorance ties into the larger issue of the teaching of colonial history in the West. Most schools in the UK don’t even touch upon the vagaries of British rule in the colonies.

it distresses A to do/that 節
意味 …して […ということで]A〈人〉を苦悩 [悲嘆] させる
It’s distressing to see people in the West being largely ignorant about the fact that colonial rule literally destroyed the future of hundreds of countries around the world.

2022冬、UK首相がインド系になってるなんて想像してなかったろうなw
uncouth
意味 (否定的に)〈人が〉無作法な, 粗野な (coarse); 洗練されていない.
Some countries continue to see the aftereffects of colonialism and are fighting battles started by the British (Israel-Palestine, India-Pakistan-Kashmir). The list goes on. Everything, from our culture, clothes, to our food, was used against us during colonial rule. Even forks and spoons were introduced to Indians by the British, as eating by hand was considered uncouth or dirty.
