Not when every bbq joint has to take on the additional costs of Halal.

Why does every BBQ joint have to do this?

I think the issue you are glossing over is assimilation appears to be a one way street. It is local and regional culture having to adapt to outsiders instead of outsiders adapting to the local culture.

---

Is opening up a BBQ joint in TX not an example of assimilating to local culture?

Faulty generalization

My original response in this thread said nothing about Kosher food. I believe it’s on page two if you feel the need to double check.

---

I didn't respond to your original response. I responded to your other posts differentiating kosher from halal. Your argument being that the difference is that Jews don't think kosher is as "American as apple pie." You said it in multiple posts. It was a very illogical argument. Why are you having so much trouble here?

Your post is incomprehensible balderdash.

This says more about you. My posts in this thread have been very coherent and easy to follow. If you have trouble “comprehending” them, not sure how to help you.

What exactly are you trying to say?

Just let me know which line is incomprehensible to you:

Yes, and your comment was that the difference between halal and kosher (after your failed “cuisine” argument) was that Jewish people don’t believe that kosher food is as American as apple pie. Effectively arguing that Muslims believe otherwise. Your evidence for the latter being….the statement of a single business owner with a clear financial motive.

I’m commenting on a topic on a political board on the internet. Same as you.

If you are going to make poorly thought out arguments, don’t hide behind “hey, I’m just commenting on a thread.”

If the influx of muslims is problematic, then logically, creating a welcoming environment for them is also problematic.

These aren’t people creating a “welcoming environment.” They are business owners identifying a market need, and (attempting) to capitalize on it financially. Time will tell if this is a profitable venture, but that’s the great thing about markets.

Only 17% of Mission High’s 11th graders scored proficient or above in English, along with a shocking 6% in math on the 2025 state assessment exam, the lowest of any school in the San Francisco Unified School District

Mission High School had a 45% acceptance rate into the elite university, with 34 out of its 76 applicants gaining admission last fall, far ahead of the state average of 15%

What were the stats of those who gained admission?

It’s not about starting threads. It’s about posts.

Correct, and despite the multitude of threads on this board centered around race…I infrequently post in them. I am much more active in threads with a medical/scientific slant.

but do you feel that color has hindered your career in any way? Do you think about color at all?

Nope to your first question. When you had the parents I had growing up—there were no limitations.

To your second. No on a day to day basis. Yes whenever I log into to the PB :lol:
