Racial harmony in the kitchen

December 6, 2006 | Leave a Comment

I would consider myself an accepting person.

I mean, as a person of colour (remember, “black” isn’t the only one that counts), I welcome the fact that Canada is a melting pot of cultures. Or whatever. Which is why I was so impressed with the Trinity Western University slogan for the year: “Engage your world: lead.”

Oh man, that phrase just screams “I-love-you-in-the-name-of-Jesus-no-matter-what-colour-you-are!” Beautiful. However, I have to say that even though I have witnessed a good amount of ethnic acceptance here on campus, there is one place that I have yet to find adequate cultural sensitivity: the kitchen.
