Offensive Ignorant Is this offensive or just ignorant? - Results (107 votes) Offensive 41.12% (44 votes) 44 Ignorant 58.88% (63 votes) 63 On the first day of Black History Month, the planned hot lunch menu for Nyack Middle School students was changed by the district's food vendor, without notice, and kids were offered chicken and waffles, with watermelon as the dessert. The school's principal explained the "unfortunate situation" in a letter to parents Thursday, saying the change was made by Aramark, unbeknownst to the administration. *"We are extremely disappointed by this regrettable situation and apologize to the entire Nyack community for the cultural insensitivity displayed by our food service provider," Middle School Principal David Johnson said. "I am disappointed that Aramark would serve items that differed from the published monthly menu. Especially items that reinforce negative stereotypes concerning the African-American Community." Aramark on Thursday night issued an apology.* "While our menu was not intended as a cultural meal, we acknowledge that the timing was inappropriate, and our team should have been more thoughtful in its service," the Aramark statement, issued through the school district, stated. "This was a mistake and does not represent the values of our company, and we are committed to doing better in the future." Johnson, in the note to middle school families, said that he hoped "this unfortunate situation can act as a learning opportunity for Aramark to be more mindful when making decisions that impact our students." Nyack schools interim Superintendent James Montesano said that the district was "extremely disappointed with what has occurred." But, he added, "we are encouraged to receive the appropriate response from Aramark in taking corrective action, which includes demonstrating their willingness to participate in training that the district will provide." Montesano added, "We anticipate this will assist Aramark in aligning to the values of excellence through equity our district strives to uphold." Nyack school district has been considered a leader in diversity, equity and inclusion issues, something several parents pointed to in expressing disappointment that the incident occurred in the first place. Aramark's statement said it would partner with the district "so employees who work in the schools participate in training that aligns to the Nyack School Districts vision and commitment to equity-driven work. We believe this will provide a good learning opportunity to deepen understanding on the impact of systemic biases and negative stereotypes concerning the African-American Community." *Aramark, a large institutional food vendor, had been involved in a similar flap before.* *In 2018, NYU students at one dining hall were served ribs, collard greens and Kool-Aid during Black History Month. The university changed food vendors a year later.* *In 2011, a Martin Luther King Day menu at the University of California, Irvine, read: MLK Holiday Special: Chicken and Waffles. Aramark was the vendor.* *Lindsay Siegel of Upper Nyack, whose son is a sixth-grader at Nyack Middle School, called Aramark's menu choices on Feb. 1 offensive.* *"I'm surprised it wasnt caught," she said, noting the district's equity work. "Its really disappointing."* https://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/rockland/2023/02/03/black-history-month-nyack-middle-school-lunch-aramark-chicken-waffles/69867895007/ <cite>Simon_Gruber posted [p:971299276] in NY School ...

NoxObscuras 02/03/23 2:00:01 PM #45:	A_Good_Boy posted... I am black, I go to those places. There's chicken and waffles on their menus. I know cause I've seen them there. I'm black too. That doesn't change anything. Chicken and waffles with watermelon is a very specific combination and serving it as soon as black history month starts is reinforcing a negative stereotype (I hate watermelon, for the record). And the fact that they've done this before, makes their apology feel hollow. --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:971301894] in NY School ...

It has to do with your claim that every "black owed restaurant serves chicken and waffles" and "these are foods that black people like". So once again, all black people eat chicken and watermelon?
