You know what, I think we're going about this all wrong.
FUCK YOU JERK CHICKEN SANDWICHES ARE MINE NOW. FUCK JAMAICA. INVENT A NEW SANDWICH, THIS ONE BELONGS TO ME AND MY RICH WHITE CORPORATE BOURGEOISIE. YOU CAN NEVER EAT CHICKEN AGAIN YOU STUPID SLUTS.
I can't recall one advertisement they've released in the past few years that didn't give the impression that they were angling specifically for the ethnic focus groups. They even made the nuggets spicy without saying anything. Is it really "appropriation" if they're just being honest with themselves? Popeye's has the southern cajun market locked, so they had to go another route. They're all owned by megacorporations and they all pander. Have any fast food chains ever pretended otherwise?
Hey our customer base surveys has indicated they like heavier spiced and hotter chicken. Let's try to make a new item that would satisfy this demand. "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
It's fun seeing the blacks first bitch about not being included enough in our society (games, media) and now bitching about being included too much. Bitching seems to be the only thing they can do, that and shoot each other.
I guess McDonald's didn't grovel hard enough about BLM and being a progressive burger company.
But I'd be willing to ban McDonald's jerk chicken sandwiches on condition that everyone who complained about it gets deported to Jamaica and everyone who has lineage from Jamaica go home with no possibility of return for either group. Deal?
No one's going to take that deal though because cultural appropriation and real jerk chicken isn't worth anything compared to the comforts and privileges that the west affords to everyone, including people that would burn it to the ground.
It's a matter of goddamn seasoning. People like it, so they want to serve it. Would it be preferred if they make their own name for it? I'd say no, that would probably be even worse. But who the fuck goes into "cultural appropriation mode" over goddamn SEASONINGS?
So which culture does McDonalds have to stick to, exactly?
Pretty much anyone who can pony up the cash can launch their own McDonalds. I'm pretty certain there are more than a few 'diverse' McDonalds owners by now, considering its a massive multinational corporation, but that's besides the point because corporations aren't people.
I'TS FUCKING FOOD Jesus Christ I wish these people would just kill themselves already

I'm actually on board with this suggestion. Now, what else can I claim?

Let's hope they never realize Taco Bell has existed for decades and isn't actually run by Mexicans.
You mean the Chihuahua isn't secretly a whole team of indigenous Mexican abuelas in a dog costume? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
