I am not one of those perpetually offended minorities. Being pissed and victimized all the time is exhausting and conflicts with my personal motto of “I have a good disposition.”
So I was more giggles than “oh no they didn’t” upon seeing this at the Quarry’s Rainbow Foods:
One of my undergraduate friends refused to buy her hair products at stores that had an “ethnic hair care” section. She thought the separation was offensive, especially since only black hair products were in the “ethnic” section.
I think my friend’s boycott was overdramatic, but I could imagine some similar racial-indignation arising out of Rainbow’s Hispanic food aisle. There is nothing wrong with grouping the Hispanic food together, but the inclusion of piñatas and religious candles is like putting the weave by the cracklins, and Buddha statutes by the curry.
