I posted specifically because I didn't want it to come to that. I'm trying to work through some issues in a very public format here, and I would appreciate you helping to make this a safe space for people who are bold enough to put their faults on display. I'm seeking help, not picking a fight.
I have a few very nice teapots. This is not about actual teapots. I think the wanton appropriation of Asian culture may be affecting me negatively. In fact, I feel like I should stop even saying "wanton" because clearly, it is hateful to cause wonton to be viewed in a negative light, like saying "black death" or "George Zimmerman".

I think it's used more for anonymity. At least that's what I use it for.

I feel like you pressured me into posting my teapot in the "post a teapot you think is HOT" thread. I'm feeling a little violated right now by your microaggressions. You essentially bullied me into posting my teapot. I'm not okay with that.
I'm not angry. I just feel like we need to have a frank and open discussion about this. You need to come to grips with the fact that your green teaness is pervasive and clouds your perspective. Tea was forcibly brought to this country at its inception, but tea is largely overlooked in history books. Tea built this nation, and when it had, you just forgot about it and started putting milk in coffee and shit.

LOL! I never really look at those icons. I have had the teapot one before, but I didn't put it there.

More of the cultural appropriation and racism in this thread 
You were all still worshiping tree stumps when Asia had elevated tea to a cultural institution. Britain is to tea as groundhogs are to pigs on the ground.

Don't raise your blood pressure too much, you might have to pay to go to hospital

None of you Yankee peasants can comprehend the elite institution of the cup of tea

Wot mate?
It seemed so simple in the mid-1700s: China had tea, Britain wanted tea. First introduced by Portuguese princess Catherine de Braganza in 1662, tea soon overtook beer as Britain's favorite brew.
In 1848, the British East India Company sent Robert Fortune on a trip to China's interior, an area forbidden to foreigners. Fortune's mission was to steal the secrets of tea horticulture and manufacturing. The Scotsman donned a disguise and headed into the Wu Si Shan hills in a bold act of corporate espionage.M

Tea was invented by King Arthur in the sixth century when he used it to drown all the Romans and kicked them out of Britain. Everyone knows that

In all seriousness tea is an alright hot drink, but as a caffeine delivery method it's trash.

PSI: I can drink a couple of glasses of iced tea or coffee and it makes me speed a little. I'm sensitive to caffeine (and opiates/opioids) apparently.
