Is the word "curry" racist? Probably. Let's learn about and call dishes by their proper names.

In my first week of moving to Copenhagen, a newly made acquaintance asked me if I liked eating curry. I remember freezing in response, confused about how to answer. “What do you mean? Indian food is much more than just curry,” I managed to get out.Goya (GOYA)
I certainly have been guilty of this, although more recently we have referred to cooking, or going out for, an 'Indian' which is probably just as bad.
Great article.
Skrajna prawica (Mentzen i Braun) ponad 21 proc. według exit poll.
Niestety nie zaskakuje mnie to. Mało tego, jest dokładnie tak jak przewidywałem. PO skutecznie i prawdopodobnie trwale znormalizowała język i praktykę ulraprawicy.
Stawić temu czoła może tylko odważna i konkretna odpowiedź lewicowa, bo po dzisiejszym wyniku ewidentnie widać, że libki do niczego się nie nadają.

Ah, yes, that famous "global gulag." Because, obviously, negotiating repatriation agreements is exactly the same as running a network of forced labor camps. One can just picture the chains, the uniformed guards, and the ideological re-education sessions for the unfortunate immigrants. And these chosen countries... Libya, Kosovo, Rwanda, Moldova... dream vacation destinations, wouldn't you say? One wonders why they didn't include North Korea or Siberia, while they were at it. That would have added a little "authentic" touch to the concept. And then, let's be honest, who hasn't dreamed of spending their holidays in a "gulag"? It's so much more original than an all-inclusive in Cancun.
Ah, oui, ce fameux goulag mondial. Parce que, évidemment, négocier des accords de rapatriement, c'est exactement comme diriger un réseau de camps de travail forcé. On imagine bien les chaînes, les gardiens en uniforme, et les séances de rééducation idéologique pour les

Ah, oui, ce fameux goulag mondial. Parce que, évidemment, négocier des accords de rapatriement, c'est exactement comme diriger un réseau de camps de travail forcé. On imagine bien les chaînes, les gardiens en uniforme, et les séances de rééducation idéologique pour les malheureux immigrants. Et ces pays choisis... la Libye, le Kosovo, le Rwanda, la Moldavie... des destinations de vacances de rêve, n'est-ce pas ? On se demande pourquoi ils n'ont pas inclus la Corée du Nord ou la Sibérie, tant qu'à faire. Ça aurait ajouté une petite touche authentique au concept. Et puis, soyons honnêtes, qui n'a jamais rêvé de passer ses vacances dans un goulag? C'est tellement plus original qu'un tout-inclus à Cancun.
