You know what?
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.
Indians sued for the right to microwave their stinky food at the University of Colorado ... and they won.
I mean, it's bold for a campus that - by reputation - constantly smells like pot to be picky about what they allow in the microwaves.
Here's Indian Express celebrating the win:
Prakash says he tried arguing that it was a common space. 'My food is my pride. And notions about what smells good or bad to someone are culturally determined,' he points out.
According to him, one of the members tried to argue that even broccoli heating was prohibited because of the strong odour. 'I replied that context matters. "How many groups of people do you know who face racism because they eat broccoli?".'
The couple say they were happy that 29 of their fellow students in the Anthropology Department backed them, calling out the 'harmful response' to the 'discriminatory food policies"' The students cited the Anthropology Department's own Statement on Systemic Racism and Violence, adding: 'Of all places, the Anthropology Department should be one where diversity of all kinds should be not just tolerated, but celebrated.'
Tolerating "diversity" means having to smell awful smells emanating from the microwave, or else you're ... racist?
Even though the policy applies to broccoli and all stinky foods.
I guess one man's manure pile is another's ... street festival.
