There is a link to a short segment from CBC's Out in Open podcast in the second part of this post. If certain culturally specific lunches are shunned and leave people ashamed, it means others are held up in high regard and can make some students feel entitled because what they eat is "normal" (the opposite of different). This form of shunning is a microaggression and sends the subtle and overt message that YOU DO NOT BELONG; that's messed up. I do not like the use of the word "ethnic food" because EVERYONE has an ethnicity but the word is often used incorrectly to refer to people who are not White.
