PBJ Deemed Racist Ladies and gentlemen, we now live in a world where lunch sandwiches can be deemed racist. You heard that right; according to Principal Verenice Guiterrez of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racist. Guiterrez claims that she intends to improve education for students of color. Part of these efforts includes increasing cultural sensitivity, and PB J raises an issue because it is on bread. According to Guiterrez Somali or Hispanic students may not have culturally eaten bread, but instead torta or pitas. Ridiculously, this led her to conclude that the school must change their teaching practices to cancel our white privilege. What do you think of this approach? Is this beyond absurd?
