The White House could smell of curry?
- Thread starter Evangelicalhumanist
- Start date
No clue.
I believe that it first came to be in Glasgow
And it should frighten all of them. It's most strange that it doesn't. I can't help it, but it signals to me that there's something very, very wrong with many Republicans.
I was not referring to the sub-continent -- I was making a parallel example: lot's of Indians migrated to England during the Raj, lots of orientals (especially Chinese) migrated to the Americas to work on building our countries and railways.

Its years of saying Dems are pedophiles, they're indoctrinating children, demonizing their religion and stealing elections.

Your local loco.
I’m new to curry. I’ve been vibing with the Tiki Masala.
Perhaps you’re not aware, but “oriental” is now generally considered an inappropriate term.
Didn't Trump complain that if Obama won,
the White House would smell of fried chicken
& watermelon?

Sorry, no I was frankly not aware. Perhaps I'm just too old now to keep up with the endlessly changing political correctness, but oriental and occidental are words that are familiar and without negative connotation to me.
Did it smell of lutefisk and haggis (and diet coke) during Trump's term?
Ok. Not sure how old you are or where you live, but it’s been inappropriate for 20 years or so on the west coast of the US. Just FYI.
Well I'm 76, and live in Toronto, which is somewhat to the north and east. It is possible that there are those here who think the term is inappropriate -- I'm just telling you that it is something that I am unaware of.
On the other hand, I am well aware that people from our past -- people who did more to further education in Canada than anyone else -- are now being villified because they lived in and behaved in accordance with the norms of their time. One such example, cancel-culture here has had Ryerson University, named after Egerton Ryerson, renamed and all memory of him expunged -- because he was a creature of his time and culture. This, in my view, is utterly stupid -- political correctness carried to bizarre extremes by ignorant children (yes, university students these days are much more childish than they used to be).

I lived for a while next to the 'worcestershire sauce' factory in UK.
I didn't object to the smell .. much preferable to living next to a highway.
The recipe was actually brought back from India .. spicy, fishy.
If it did, it was overwhelmed
by the stench of bull feces.
Funny story.
Back in the late 80s my best friend and me were huge fans of Indian food and it is all about what we cooked. We shared an apartment in a big building. As you probably know the spices are very fragrant and do carry in the air. One day I was leaving and two guys from down the hall were talking about the God damned curry smell and they couldn't figure out where the Indian family lived that was cooking it so they could complain. They looked at me, a young white guy, and dismissed me as the culprit. We never were discovered and were saved due to the superficial nature of racism.
