I remember this article. It was literally the first thing that
came up when I searched for "table manners racist" in Google.
Also see earlier post in this thread regarding this topic.

‘It could feed the world’: amaranth, a health trend 8,000 years
old that survived colonization
[quote]Indigenous women in North and Central America are coming
together to share ancestral knowledge of amaranth, a plant
booming in popularity as a health food[/quote]

[quote]“This is a plant that could feed the world,” said
Tsosie-Peña.
For her it also has deep cultural value. She is part of growing
networks of Indigenous women across North and Central America
who have been sharing ancestral knowledge of how to grow and
prepare amaranth. Seed exchanges, including those in New Mexico
and California, are part of a larger movement to reclaim
Indigenous food systems amid growing recognition of their
sustainability and resilience in a time of climate crisis and
industrialized agriculture.
“Supporting Indigenous people coming together to share
knowledge” is vital to the land back movement, a campaign to
reestablish Indigenous stewardship of Native land, and
liberation of Native peoples, Tsosie-Peña said. “Our food, our
ability to feed ourselves, is the foundation of our freedom and
sovereignty as land-based peoples.”
This is a story of two histories: the remarkable survival of
amaranth through colonization and the women like Tsosie-Peña
who, in the last 20 years, have expanded networks of Indigenous
people celebrating its ancient cultivation.[/quote]

By the way, jigsaw puzzles are also a Western invention:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_puzzle#History
[quote]London engraver and cartographer John Spilsbury is
believed to have produced the first jigsaw puzzle around 1760,
using a marquetry saw.[1] Early puzzles, known as dissections,
were produced by mounting maps on sheets of hardwood and cutting
along national boundaries, creating a puzzle useful for teaching
geography.[1] Royal governess Lady Charlotte Finch used such
"dissected maps" to teach the children of King George III and
Queen Charlotte[4][5][/quote]
This is not a coincidence. This is Western civilization.

[quote]Berlin’s university canteens go almost meat-free as
students prioritise climate
The 34 outlets catering to students at four universities will
offer only a single meat option four days a week
Students at universities in Berlin will from this winter swap
currywurst and schnitzel for seeds and pulses, as campus
canteens in the German capital make heavy cuts to their meat and
fish options.
The 34 canteens and cafes catering to Berlin’s sizeable student
population at four different universities will offer from
October a menu that is 68% vegan, 28% vegetarian, and 2%
fish-based, with a single meat option offered four days a week.
[...]
Across Germany, university canteens and cafeterias currently
offer 30-50% vegetarian options after years of rising demand,
estimated Stefan Grob, a spokesperson for Deutsches
Studentenwerk, the umbrella organisation of student support
providers. “But in Berlin, you have a critical mass.”
In 2019, Berlin universities fed about 5.6 million meals to
students in its canteens. That same year a survey found that
13.5% of Berlin’s student population described themselves as
keeping a vegan diet, compared with just 1.6% in the country as
a whole, while a further 33% said they were vegetarians.[/quote]

...Is the "2% fish-based" the single meat-containing dish, or
are they idiots who for some reason don't think fish count as
meat?
Anyway, Hitler would be proud that the time has finally come for
institutions to begin phasing out meat-based diets!

All vegan food is vegetarian, therefore I think what they mean
is 68% vegan, 28% egg/dairy.....

All along, there existed in Hong Kong an almost equal proportion
of restaurants offering Chinese and Western cuisine. But whereas
in the old Hong Kong, Chinese restaurants were distinguished
quite markedly from Western restaurants in their decor, there is
sadly a present trend of Chinese restaurants adopting the
Western style decor especially in the more expensive places.
Typical Chinese restaurants were usually brightly lit to offer
clear visage of the eatery with its happy, bubbly ambience most
suitable for family and festive gatherings. Nowadays, with the
influence of anti-China sentiment among those self-claimed
non-Chinese Hongkongers hell bent on fighting for HK
independence and western democracy, the interior designs of
Chinese restaurants have turned 'western' - dimly lit if not
outright candle-lit so you have to grope your way around,
sometimes with mirror walls on all sides so you could imagine
yourself in a maze trying hard to get to the washroom and back,
and that's what they consider as either romantic or posh, the
western style!

"'western' - dimly lit if not outright candle-lit"
Ah, yes, that ludicrous colonial-era Western tradition: the
candlelight dinner!
HTML https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Candlelight%20Dinner
[quote]A glorified, self-inflicted power outage during which two
individuals stare across an elaborately decorated table at one
another and giggle in a repulsive manner while exchanging empty,
flirtatious cliches. Expensive alchoholic beverages are usually
consumed as well as a light, fancy meal that no one involved
really notices.
...
The mainstream's materialistic expression of what they call
"love". People waste literally hundreds of dollars, if not
thousands, on the food, the alcohol, and the special clothes
(apparently, it's not cool enough to wear a t-shirt and some
pants or a top and pants/skirt..People who take part in
candlelight dinners must wear a suit or a dress). These are
usually followed by sexual favors afterwards. To me, the whole
thing is too much like prostitution. What else would you call
sex for material objects, such as food?[/quote]
"romantic"
This is true dining romanticism:

Only when Chinese people understand this can they be considered
to be decolonizing.
Maybe I should repost the anti-gentrification topic from the old
forum as well?

A few days ago I ate strawberries for the first time in many
years (I do not normally buy them as they are too expensive). Of
course I ate them plain, which is the correct way to eat them.
This reminded me of another disgusting Western habit of
Turanizing strawberries:
