Bad news @Zaide you cannot cook any more Korean food because it's "cultural appropriation" :rolleyes:

Cultural appropriation aka "white people can't make other culture foods because it's taking advantage of a race"

Isn't that right @Pink Mist

You have to understand this PC crowd is offended by anything remotely cultural or foreign

If a white person makes a korean sandwich with gochujang it's offensive and "cultural appropriation"

if a korean guy makes a hamburger or makes fried chicken (WHICH BY THE WAY THE AMERICANS BROUGHT TO KOREA AFTER THE KOREAN WAR) it is fine and becomes a part of their culture

what the f*** kind of logic is this?

Korean fried chicken - Wikipedia

The concept of frying chicken in Korea has its beginning during the Korean War, when American troops were stationed in South Korea during the late-1940s, and the early-1950s. Traditionally, Koreans steamed chicken for consumption, and chicken dishes usually came in soups and broth. This all changed however, when Americans began placing stalls selling soul-food American fried chicken, focusing on the four areas of Seoul, Busan, Pyeongtaek and Songtan.[8]

The modern trend of eating chicken began in Korea during the late 1960s, when Myeongdong Yeongyang Center in Seoul began selling whole chicken roasted over an electric oven.[9]

So when the Koreans started taking American ideas and using them in Korea, is that wrong?

It is the use of traditional Korean ingredient gochujang – a type of chilli paste – that is causing a stir, with some accusing the restaurant of trying to profit from other cultures while appealing to a mass market in the easiest and most basic way possible.

One Twitter user wrote: “Very unsure how I feel about shake shack making a korean fried chicken sandwich and gochujang mayo fries. It sort of smells, kind of tastes like appropriation to me but idk.”
