Mamdani is either actually extremely gross (I mean outside of the communism, which is of course extremely gross in and of itself), or this is fucking bait.
There ain't no way, brother. And if he's for real, still fuck him, in fact fuck him more, and deport. But I suspect he's just trying to create attacks so he can call people racist and play the victim, or something. This shit feels performative.
It is performative. He's trying to show the other shitskins he's just like them and show white liberals how "ethnic" he is. He doesn't really eat that way.
It’s almost like a reverse Trump. Lefties will oppose the most obvious and rational ideas if they come from Trump, but they will support the most backwards and insane ideas if they come from a brown democrat.
I'm actually surprised that people here are shocked by this. This is a muslim thing, and Mamdani is a known muslim. What's actually unusual here is that he has his own plate and isn't just grabbing food from a shared plate.
I knew a muslim immigrant once that I ate dinner with a few times. He would prepare rice with chickpeas and goat, and then put some scoops of yogurt on top. It was served on a giant silver plate at the center of the table (although it's actually more traditional for food to be served on the floor while everyone sits on pillows). Before starting the meal, he would tell everyone to join hands and say Bismillah. He then instructed us all to grab the rice and goat with our right hand only and then roll up the rice into a little ball in our hand before tossing it into our mouths. We all grabbed the food from the same shared plate while eating.
The left hand is considered dirty in Islam and therefore, according to them, should never be used for eating. The left hand is instead used for dirty tasks like wiping in the bathroom. Rolling the rice into a ball with only one hand was a bit mechanically awkward, and needless to say it felt gross having everyone stick their hand into the same plate of food. I wished I could have used a spoon or fork instead, but I was trying to be polite.

They don't mean using your left hand to wipe with toilet paper, either. You use your bare hand to wipe and scrape the shit off your ass, with a little basin nearby to rinse the shit off before wiping a second time.
Presumably it's an adaptation to lack of fresh water in the Arab region.
It takes lots of water to make toilet paper (wood pulp + water) or before that to wash a cloth. Much less water to wash a hand because skin is designed to shed off filth. Even less water to just keep one hand clean.
The really disgusting part is they're still doing it.
It's weird that they acknowledge that dirtiness is a thing by not using their left hand but don't use cutlery. A knife and fork isn't a complicated piece of technology.
Asians invented eating with sticks, and even monkeys can use tools to eat. What's their excuse? Are sticks too expensive? Can they not find enough clay to make a couple extra bowls or plates?
I've heard them called "South East Asians". When I think of Asians, I think of Kung Fu,. Samurai, and Chinese food. Not Bollywood and street shitting. I'd rather lump Indians in with Muzzies than consider them Asian.
Years ago I used to work with this Indian engineer. Educated (Masters in engineering at least) and seemed pretty Westernized. We got along. We went out one day to lunch at an Indian restaurant; both of us order some sort of Mutton curry, and after a bit he starts digging into it exactly as this guy does in the photo.
I hadn't really realized that was a thing until recently. I'd always just wondered what the hell that guy was doing, because he certainly wasn't so hungry as to warrant eating as though he was starving. But apparently it is a thing.
Yet another thing I would have been glad to have been sheltered from knowing about non-Western cultural practices.
Aren't you supposed to tear off a piece of naan bread and fold it around the food to make like a mini-taco? Sort of like how Italians use bread to mop up excess pasta sauce? That's how I always learned.
Why would it be bait? These are the people who wholeheartedly backed Joe Biden lol.
It took him having a brain meltdown live on camera before they tossed him off the horse. This nasty mother fucker isn't anywhere close to the line as far as they're concerned.
Hell remember Ed Buck? They had to drag five dead bodies out of his house before the left decided to toss him.
It took Jim Jones killing all 900+ people in his temple, children included, before the Dems disavowed him. Even then, the Dems didn't "disavow" him so much as refuse to talk about it when confronted.

I'm eagerly awaiting the "AOC is the most intelligent and qualified candidate to ever run!" astroturf.

Goddamn its things like this that prove how disgusting these foreigners can be.

Damn, that is disgusting.
If you want to wash your ass with water, then at least use a hose or a bidet or something other than your bare hand.

In the desert in 600AD, it is.
A flat stick with a long part for a handle to pile rice onto is not.
Asians invented eating with sticks, and even monkeys can use tools to eat. What's their excuse? Are sticks too expensive? Can they not find enough clay to make a couple extra bowls or plates?
It's also a jeet thing, so muzzie jeets like Mamdani probably double up on the disgusting behaviors.
I wonder.. in islam.. are hand jobs only given with right hand?
It’s devolved into a whole argument of whether asians eat like this. But in my own experience, only indians eat like this
Yeah they’re trying to make Indians, and some of the Middle East look better by lumping them together with the good Asians.
They’ve started doing it with crime stats so this eating with your hands thing isn’t surprising

Seasians are just the lower south asian countries like singapore, malaysia, indo, thai, philippines, laos, myanmar, vietnam etc.
Lots of chinese in those countries as well, and a lot of browns
Anthropologically speaking you'd be correct. They are the same race. Arabs originate from India. They are not native to the Mediterranean.

Fuck sake, Ethiopians do it that way.
That restaurant provided silverware by default. I ate mine with a spoon and fork. That's one of the reasons I was so confused.
He may have even started to eat it with a spoon and fork and switched to eating it with his hands later, but my memory is hazy.
I couldn't name two Asian cultures (exclusive of jeets, Not Real Asians) that don't use chopsticks.

Do you remember when you ate at that Indian restaurant? They did this and worse to your food, bro. Take some anti-biotics and never go back
look up how prata is prepared
I can't not eat it any harder.
I have never eaten at an Indian restaurant for that reason.
