Some students at Oberlin College are taking their demands for diversity and racial inclusion to the dining hall, asking for more traditional meals and criticizing what they consider poor efforts at multicultural cooking.

The students are accusing the campus dining department and Bon Appétit Management Company, the main dining vendor, of a litany of offenses that range from cultural appropriation to cultural insensitivity.

Earlier this month, students with the school’s black student union protested outside of the dining hall at the AfriHeritage House, after demands for more traditional meals, including more fried chicken, went unmet, according to the campus paper, The Oberlin Review.

The culinary culprits included a soggy, pulled-pork-and-coleslaw sandwich that tried to pass itself off as a traditional Vietnamese banh mi sandwich; a Chinese General Tso’s chicken dish made with steamed instead of fried poultry; and some poorly prepared Japanese sushi.

College food tastes like unwashed asshole so any improvement for any reason is probably a good thing.

Oh man, OP, that's really bad.

But you know what's even worse than SJW students? Overly conservative students. They are twice as whiny, and get even madder about trivial matters like this. Luckily, those people are fading away these days, but there are some holdouts who still like to kick up a fuss over things.

So, I think we can all agree, at least this college does not have to deal with rightists.

Cole slaw and pulled pork is not an appropriate banh mi sandwich so that seems like a reasonable complaint to me

Wait, they want diversity without cultural appropriation? How does that work?
