I just saw someone get chopped on Chopped bc they "overcooked" their meat. Yet every black/latinx/native person I know eats meat like this.

Ever had a Mexican taco? Again: the meat is WELL DONE. It doesn't drop blood. It grosses me out thinking that it would.
-
Same thing with an Indian taco. The meat is delicious and (surprise!) well done. Just like Navajo mutton... again, it's well done.
-
Every black barbecue I've ever been to? The meat is well done. Perfect potato salad. Perfectly cooked meat.
-
There are cultural and historic reasons for why some people eat meat that's well-cooked. But it's super frowned upon by elite white culture.
-
I feel like a pariah asking for a well-done steak or a well-done burger at a restaurant. It's GROUND MEAT for gawd's sake how sacred is it?
-
Who sets this rare meat is good meat standard? White people, right? Was it the French specifically?
-
You wanna eat a bloody steak? That's cool but how do we begin to make some room for non-white people who like to cook/eat meat all the way?

*fellow journalists, especially white journalists, please don't lift my thread to write something without crediting me thanks
