Imagine cooking a traditional dish from your homeland, only to have it ridiculed and turned into a social media spectacle. That’s exactly what happened to our Brazilian friend, who decided to whip up a beloved dish, feijoada, for his friends. But when a new friend, Emily, took issue with his rice preparation and posted a rather unflattering video on Instagram, things got heated. Let’s dive into this culinary conflict, shall we?

Rice, Racism and a Raging Debate: Who’s in the Wrong?
What started as a simple dinner party turned into a heated debate over cultural appropriation, racism, and the correct way to cook rice. Our Brazilian friend’s traditional dish was criticized, ridiculed, and turned into a social media joke by Emily, a new friend from work. Despite the Brazilian’s attempts to explain his cultural cooking method, the situation escalated into a full-blown argument, dividing the friend group into two camps. Now, the internet is weighing in on this culinary conflict. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? And will this rice debacle ever be resolved? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
NTA. Mocking someone’s cooking for Instagram likes after they prepared food for you is r**e as h**l.
