I had 3 PBJs for lunch. That must mean i'm right next to One-Balled Adolf on the "Racist Scale".
Helix's Law said:Given enough time and participation, even a thread about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich will turn into a bitter partisan fistfight.
Heck I thought this was going to be about how schools are banning peanuts and peanut butter from schools due to allergies. Not something stupid like discussing PB&J sandwiches being tools of domination
The best and most fun way to get to know another culture, is date them!Yep, and instead of seeing it as a way to marginalize immigrant kids, sounds more like a great conversation starter for everyone involved to learn about other cultures. For a supposed melting pot, some people sure have some bizarre ideas of dealing with other cultures. Keeping them at arms length is nor the way to go about it. I love hearing the stories immigrants have about where they come from and what they do there that's different than here.
I wonder if Portland schools have "Taco Tuesdays". I'm sure some white and Somali kids don't eat tacos at home.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/is-peanut-butter-and-jelly-racist_n_1874905

Maybe it's more racist to assume other cultures don't enjoy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Yes, we do eat tortas but we also love PB&J (or PB&B peanut butter and butter).
Yeah, I noticed the lack of Hispanic surnames while watching the MLB playoffs."peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat" is racist because Latinos play soccer.

I think I could be happy forever with Little Anita's Christmas chile enchiladas & rellenos...and could afford it too!
(And we ate in a bunch of fancier places in Santa Fe but Little Anita's was still my favorite.)
Bias alert: I live in SW New Mexico so the food is much better down here. Santa Fe probably has some good food, but its a lot different than the rest of the States foods. In other words Santa Fe is a long ways from Hatch.

Sure would be nice, one of these days, if schools would focus more on teaching things like math, science and English, and less on worrying about which kids eat PB&J's.
I'm all about Hatch chilis. And I'm willing to try any of that cuisine.
Little Anitas is a kind of hole in the wall chain (I went in Albuquerque)...and they used Hatch chilis.
