That’s right.
Apparently, it’s because people in some cultures don’t eat sandwich bread. Verenice Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland explained in and interview with the Portland Tribune:
“Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year,” the Tribune said.
“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez asked. “Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”

Wow so I guess pretty soon Fried Chicken, watermelon, mayonnaise, pork, beef and many more will be considered racist. People need to get a real life experience strike them in the head, like going bankrupt or losing a loved one. Get a life!
ReplyDeleteI guess next the color of mulch you use will be considered racist...it does not come in white!
ReplyDeletewhat in this explanation deems the sandwich as racist, other than the flawed interpretation of the author?
ReplyDeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteI am white and have never been 'privalaged' to anything in this country that any other race has not been able to acquire. If anything being a poor white male in my younger years made me ineligable for any type of public assistance when I had become temporarily disabled due to kidney problems, I was denied benefits I was clearly eligible to receive!
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Somalis or Hispanics? Sounds like talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an excellent way to teach them about our culture. Bet they go home and ask for peanut butter and jelly pita!

ReplyDeleteDon't come here and try to establish a mini-anything. Learn our language, customs and history. Obey our laws. Become AMERICAN.
But NEVER criticize us for being American and doing American things.
Or get the hell out and go back to the third world crap hole you ran away from if culture shock is hitting you too hard.
We do something that you aren't familiar with and now its racist???
It used to be called moving to and living in a new place. NOW, we have to change OUR culture to make sure YOUR feelings aren't hurt and we don't show you things you never saw before, like running water, electricity, and peanut butter sandwiches????
Did I mention "get the hell out"????
We don't need you. YOU need US. Start acting like it.
Have we had enough of this B.S. yet?
