It’s Monday, which means it’s time for your weekly dose of locavore levity: the Joke of the Week! This week’s joke comes from East Orange’s Bitsy Biron. Take it away, Bitsy…

I love fashion. I especially like to wear exotic clothing from other countries … and then I like to trivialize them with a T.J. Maxx blazer! Just to lean into my white privilege. Cuz those colors and patterns might actually have some cultural significance to somebody somewhere. But, to me, they are just simply adorable.

About That Joke
Says Biron: I starting feeling weird about wearing a Guatemalan tunic someone gifted to me. It got me thinking about cultural appropriation and how we as a culture know so little about the meaning of things we adopt from other cultures.
