Huh? Could I request a decompression of that acronym?

re: #710 Learned Mother of Zion

Obama said that while he was served dog and other weird shit to eat, he didn’t say he liked it.

True…but those attempting to make this news doesn’t care in the slightest about contextual factors.

I mean, he was also six at the time, so he had pretty much no say about what he ate.

And as the child of an anthropologist, I’ll bet (as the child of an anthropologist) that part of his upbringing was trying to understand local foodways AND realizing that not accepting food is a fast way to insult people.

I really think that they seized on this because dog-eating is a xenophobic trope (and a racist trope against Asians) that still has play in the US.
