Portland school sees racism in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
Examiner ^

Posted on 11/26/2012 7:15:43 PM PST by chessplayer

In an effort to combat perceived discrimination, one Portland school seems to have gone off the deep end by suggesting peanut butter and jelly sandwiches carry racist connotations, Twitchy reported Monday.

According to the Portland Tribune, Verenice Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School, "picks up on the subtle language of racism" on a daily basis.

“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez asked. “Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”

Before a stupid lib picks up on it, I just wanna say... “WHITE LIGHT IS RACIST!”

So is a 'Black Out." That means some Whitey racist shut off your electricity.

"Pan Bimbo" is racist? (Mexican bakery white bread, the equivalent of "Wonder Bread"). So, wait, "white" Bimbo bread is racist/sexist, or something...?

Peanut butter, iirc was invented by a man of color (George Washington Carver), so how is that "racist"?

Jelly, well, that is 'colorful', too.

Will these nitwits quit agonizing over being Americans in America long enough to finish lunch?

and many of those teachers paid someone else to take their final exams as well. That from a thread that was on here yesterday.

Now some of the teachers are padding the school grades to comply with the state standards. Getting dumber and dumber all the time. Schools are just for the head counts and a place to park the kid for the day, nothing more,

Everyone cheats today, it is the NORM. (well NOT everybody, some of us still have self respect and morals left).

I ate about a pound of lutefisk last night. Do I qualify as a minority?

Anyone who can eat a pound of lutefisk qualifies as a minority!

I did over do it but I savored every bite.

There are places that know how to prepare it, and there are people who know how to cook it. And when these two things come together, it’s a good thing.

A pound. Of lutefisk. You deserve an award in the Guinness Book of World Records. No normal person would willingly undergo the torture.

and “father” as well; completely racist.

Peanut butter and jelly is racist because it asumes a child has a parent loving enough to take the time to make it; many minorities simply have school workers make their breakfast and lunch because they have no such parent.

This story is imbecility raised to exponential levels.

In fact, it simply defies belief; the author must be sniffing glue or crystal meth or something even more poisonous - popular culture on the Left.

We’re all living in a parallel-to-reality universe, since this “people of color” junk phrase surfaced, and is used for every *perceived* slight/disadvantage/unfair situation etc.

All they’re doing is trying to rationalize lack of motivation, love of free stuff, and failure to achieve. Instead of guarranteed equal opportunity, they want guarranteed equal outcome. From me, they get a deaf ear and the middle finger.
