Okay, that chicken looks disgusting, but really. Minimalist cooking celebrating the ingredients without leaning into spices is a whole thing. Sashimi? Cong you bing? Tamago gohan? Spaghetti aglio e olio? Fresh bread or "new potatoes" with butter? Finnish salmon soup (clear or creamy)? How could you not appreciate those just as much as a well-seasoned flavor bomb?

Also to defend european cuisine, yes chicken is boring, that's why actual European recipes would also drown it other stuff: coq au vin, arroz con pollo (Spanish variant), frango piri-piri, chicken paprikash, Kyiv chicken...

...do you really think we don’t know this? Do you really not get the joke? How sensitive do you need to be to see this and think it’s an anti-white thing, not a Diversity vs Racists thing?

It's not "sensitivity", it's simply pattern recognition. In the US, unseasoned/bland food has been a crack made at the expense of 'white people' specifically, for a very long time on the Internet.

It’s literally and specifically attacking the blandness that are Turning Point USA racists and you’re taking it as an attack against white people food in general. Your skin is so fucking thin I can see right through it.

I fully agree that there’s a lot more white food than boiled chicken but this is targeting the people who find ketchup to be spicy. Take a big ol’ deep breath.
