Who's falling for this shit anymore?
Answer: nobody.
From the article :

Translation : Black South Africans are oppressed therefore poor, and not the other way around. Since they are "real" Africans, they drink beer - the true libation of a true, noble people who have none of the snooty proclivities of stuck-up, evil Euros.
.../...
And you ignorant racists thought only white chicks could have freckles. Another scientific observation to drive home the underlying reality: race is a social construct.

Lest Times readers never forget for even one second the troubles from whence this poor, noble soul did come!

once again COTT nails it !
ReplyDeleteI'm not buying it either!
ReplyDeleteWho paid for her vinitculture education?
Whites.
Who paid for the farmland you see in the photo?
Whites.
Who paid for the clothes on this woman's back?
Whites.
I especially liked the line: "They don't smell the bottle cap."
The New York Times is such a disgustingly stuffy, condescending piece of shit of a newspaper. THey don't smell the bottle cap, as in my homies are so hinest and so noble, the true sale of the earth types, they would never think of dabbling in white wine-loving ritual.
Of course when they do, the NYT will be the first to write a front-page article about it, and get all teary eyed and hagiographic.
What a sick, condescending, hypocritical bunch of little faggots they are.
Quite right, the Babuntu are not traditional wine-drinkers; their drink is sorghum beer, formerly known as kaffir-beer. And they have no time for subtleties of flavour - the objective is to get drunk, not to drink.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in the wine-growing area depicted, the non-White population consists mostly of the mixed-race descendants of Malayan and other South Asian slaves, known as Coloureds. (Blacks were never slaves in South Africa, at least on any large scale, because the White colonists never even saw one of them until the colonists crossed the Great Fish River nearly a hundred years after they landed; and because Babuntu were - are - bloody useless, anyway).
The Coloureds are the traditional wine farm labourers, and alcoholism is a big problem among them. Under the infamous tot system, farmers paid part of their wages in kind. Not, obviously, with their best products.
I find it laughable that the NYT is trying to romanticise living in a hut built from cow dung. I also find it funny that the newspaper of record doesn't know how to spell "pretension". Don't they have proof-readers, editors, or spell-checkers?
Wine is not "food", unless you are really starving or really alcoholic.
ReplyDeleteA wine-maker indulging in reverse snobbery, pretending that wine is just "food" and should not be "smelled" or "talked about" !...
It's obvious she's unable to taste wine properly, or talk about it in a perceptive fashion. This is a white (and maybe Asian) thing. I suppose her produce is some sort of horrible plonk.
