Thank you for this great post. Thank heavens for strong, independent journalism such as yours. How long will Substack continue supporting critical voices such as yours?

By the way, these same media outlets were all over diversity, equity and inclusion I'm publishing "ethnic" recipes a few years ago! It's all just about money & power for magazine publishers and advertising execs. I stopped reading magazines years ago because I felt I was being manipulated; best money I ever saved.

This definitely was an eye-opener for me. I never thought of it in this light. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Very interesting. It’s a perspective I hadn’t thought of before and absolutely rings true in its indictment of most of the U.S. media. People are very misinformed by the MIMEC. I was also highly amused by the idea of telling the people of my home state of NM how to tone down the heat. Insulting. 🌶️🔥🔥

Oh, come on. It IS just a recipe. I have a number of friends who, unlike me, just cannot handle spicy food. That doesn’t make them, or a recipe intended to accommodate them, a tool of oppression. It just doesn’t.

I like the metaphor. The spicier the better. The more diverse our nation, the better we are as a stronger, more unified people. And our current leadership can either embrace that, or just slide a little further east-into the sea.

And the bald headed walking Dillon, Jeff Bezos is trying to buy Conde Nast for his inflatable sex toy bride. I'm sure that will really help the editorial content.

They’re all in bed together. It’s disgusting.

Dildo not Dillon. Apparently Substack is censoring us now.
