    Curry is 'racist' and needs cancelling as snowflakes say word is 'rooted in colonialism'
    A number of online bloggers and academics have called for the word "curry" to be cancelled as they believe it is overused by Brits and is rooted in British colonialism.

    The overuse of the word "curry" has come under fire from South Asian food bloggers who claim it is rooted in British colonialism.

    Chaheti Bansal, 27, previously posted an Instagram video calling on her followers and the public to "cancel the word curry".

    In the short clip uploaded earlier this year, viewed more than 3.6 million times, she says the term has been misused by foreigners to describe every dish made on the Asian subcontinent.

    The Californian food blogger said: "There's a saying that the food in India changes every 100km and yet we're still using this umbrella term popularised by white people who couldn't be bothered to learn the actual names of our dishes.

    Ilyse Morgenstein Furest is an associate religious studies professor at the University of Vermont and a known expert in South Asia. She said: "The word curry does not exist in any South Asian language to my knowledge."

    The professor says that the word curry originated from the "British bad ear" during colonial rule in India. Multiple historians have claimed that British officials misheard the word "kari", which can translate to both "blackened" and "side dish". It is believed to have originated in the 1850s when the British arrived in the region and started to use the term.

    "South Asians can turn around and say, 'OK, if these British officers want curry, and I stand to profit, whether that's socially, politically, financially, then I set up a curry house,'" she told NBC News. Furest says this is why "curry" should not be used as an umbrella term because it is largely "rooted in white, Christian supremacy," and incorrect.

    Another Instagram food influence Nisha Vedi Pawar, 36, has joined the calls, uploading a video where she asks: "What the hell is curry?"

    Journalist Simon Mccoy appeared on GB News on Monday morning and called the idea of the word 'curry' being racist "ridiculous".

    "Curry is now racist. The word curry is racist - along with everything else," the GB News host said.

    "The word curry is racist (as) a food blogger says it’s time to cancel the British colonial term."

    Decades before that, a Channel 4 documentary on the grooming gangs was pulled for fear the 'local community' would riot at the slur. Nick Griffin was lambasted for raising the issue, and it was part of the reason he ended up in the Crown Court.

    There are a lot of people that need to have a long, hard think about how their virtue signalling has contributed to the torment and suffering of 10's of thousands of young girls. Those people have blood on their hands.

    Was talking about this at the weekend, my wife's cousin who was at Uni around twenty years ago went with her mates to a Westwood DJ set and one of her mates ended up having it away with Tim after the show, she would had been between 18-20 at the time so not underage but it would seem Westwood had his pick of what he fancied at the time and the girls were smitten to be ****ed by a celebrity and no doubt he used that to his advantage.
