i think that was completely missed when Dawn Butler weighed in politically. Levi seems to have got it about right saying its just not a very good jerk, that should be all that needs to be said.

Quite. No sure why it took so long for somebody to point that out. Her main point is that what Oliver is selling isn't jerk in any way at all. Its just 'spicy rice'. :shrug:

FWIW the concept of cultural appropriation is mostly utter bullshit, and more often than not it is about the complainant attention seeking, and almost never a case of the 'offender' actually meaning any offence, to the 'wronged' culture.

A famous white girl chooses to put her hair in corn-rows. The absolute HORROR! :eek:

Twats.

Jamie Oliver must be loving this free publicity.....people getting steamed up over an irrelevance.

Well I already alluded to that straight away when I pointed out the the controversy appears to be about Jamie supposedly taking a concept from another culture and distorting it in order to promote a product. He's apparently appropriated a word/concept/food 'jerk', and distorted it into something that isn't 'jerk' at all.

I also agree that it's nothing to get outraged about.

So the logic is that I can eat food originating from another country/culture (I am embracing multi-culturalism), but I can't cook it myself (I am resorted to cultural appropriation).

Not sure that I want to be in a world where those are the rules. Seems Ms Butler wants to have her cake and eat it... but only if it's baked by a Jamaican Chef! FFS.


I read this when it first broke and the argument should be than Jamie Oliver is a sh1t chef. "Jerk" is a meat marinade. "Jerk Rice" doesn't mean anything. And on top of that the recipe JO used, I believe, bears no resemblance to the ingredients used in "Jerk". Storm in a teacup at best!

Can we just give up with the outraged claims of "cultural appropriation" over every little thing?....We're supposed to be a diverse and inclusive society/world... let's embrace sharing clothes/food/music from elsewhere!

All we are saying

I’m with you most of the way but I draw the line with white blokes having dreadlocks and/or playing the bongos.

Only because they look like knobs though - not because they are offending anyone.

Was George Harrison accused of CA for playing the sitar on a load of Beatles songs?

I see Levi Roots has said that Jamie’s made a mistake. Levi’s real name was Keith Valentine Graham. Isn’t changing it to Levi Roots cultural appropriation?
