The DC Universe Plan: Why It's Not a Reboot, and...
websnark:
As is well known in… well, most of the circles that would be reading this, the DC Universe is going to be “rebooting” in September, with fifty-two separate brand new first issues of fifty-two brand new-or-newly-restarted comic book series.

If you wanna’ talk about racism, that’s racism. Having an entire channel designated strictly for one group of people. It’s a tad different if it’s religious, in my opinion, but it’s completely stupid when dealing with race.

I suspect that this would fall under “unpopular opinions” but, yes, I think you can be culturally appropriative of food.
