What's up with East Coast reporters writing about California's drought like they don't also consume the food that's grown there?

I'm calling it now: in 2016, an East Coast reporter will talk about his prize-winning CA drought story while sipping from a Dasani bottle.

Please let me know if you spot a story written by a person of color from California about the drought. (And no, a transplant doesn't count.)

And you know why I don't want to read a transplant's take on California's drought? Because they act like it's the fucking apocalypse.

If you're actually form Cali, you'll remember the water rations. Droughts aren't a new thing there!

When we were kids, people talked about building some kind of pipeline to bring water in... from Alaska. That was the Cali we knew.

East Coast reporters writing about Cali's drought as an "uncharted territory"? Are you kidding me?

Again: let me know if you see a story written by a person of color from Cali who's writing about the current drought. I'd appreciate it.

@aurabogado You obviously are talking about So Cal. You all have been stealing and importing your water from N. CA and Colorado way too long1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@MaestroGaeta This is an arbitrary division that conveniently fails to mention how much water the Bay Area gets from the Hetch Hetchy.

@aurabogado It's obviously not as much an issue when rich white people are doing the stealing.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@aurabogado I should say taking more than their fair share. I'll reserve "stealing" for when a place/community has been grossly exploited.0 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
