You would think that [livejournal.com profile] food_porn would be one community free of Drama Llama infestations......

.....not so, according to this post

Basically, someone posted a list of humourous cooking definitions. (I liked the ones for Yogurt and Tongue)

But one was:

"arab coffee: Thick, black, bitter coffee, traditionally served in tiny cups at gunpoint."

Now, a) I've lived in the Middle East, b) I hate coffee, and c) I've had to drink Arab Coffee (and Turkish and Persian Coffee) when offered to me as a guest, and as a result, I read it as "because you would prefer to be forced at gunpoint to drink that industrial sludge willingly" Nothing racist, just the fact it's nasty sludge pretending to be a drink.

However, someone took that post as some racist diatribe against Arabs and stereotypes.

*face plant*

Honestly, some people would find racism in their breakfast cereal. Not to mention the general "Good Lord, the rod up that person's butt must have a rod up it's butt" factor
