What if everyone stoped using terms like libtard, commie, Nazi, fascist, racist as an experiment?

@CopperCicada Not to mention I know working class people from Brooklyn who work blue collar jobs and are far from "elite" and still have access to various foods thanks to the diversity.

@basilfawlty89 yea. gyros. kebabs. coke and a slice. chinese take-out counter. dumpling shop. jewish deli. diners.

Not taking a pot shot at you my friend. Here is a definition for you:

coastal elite
noun [ C, + sing/pl verb ] UK ​ /ˌkəʊ.stəl eˈliːt/ US ​ /ˌkoʊ.stəl iˈliːt/
​
the group of educated, professional people living mainly in cities on the western or northeastern coasts of the US who have liberal political views and are often considered to have advantages that most ordinary Americans do not have.

@CopperCicada

I posted the definition which appears to exclude those of which you speak. @basilfawlty89

@jackjjackson you said mediterranean food was coastal elite food. still haven't explained.

I was referring to the context in which it was posted by a coastal elite in another thread. @CopperCicada

@jackjjackson i have no idea what you're talking about. he just said what he eats and why.

Okey dokey @CopperCicada

@jackjjackson did i miss something?

[i]goes back to the thread[/i]

Nevermind 😀 @CopperCicada

@jackjjackson Went back and looked at the post.

[quote]That’s an example of coastal elite fare.[/quote]

The [i]fare[/i] is coastal elite.

In the specific CONTEXT the fare was featured yes. @CopperCicada

@jackjjackson 🤔

The term appears in most dictionaries. It’s similiar to Reagan Republican or limosine liberal. Here you go.

'Coastal elite' is a not-so-obscure reference to primarily intellectual, educated, economically advantaged, people in states like Washington, Oregon, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania. They happen to be overwhelmingly Euro-American, preponderantly supportong a Classical Liberal, Progressive, Civic Nationialist and Cultural Nationalist political ideology and are mostly Democrats with a few "Rockefeller Republicans".
Majority of students at Harvard University are from families of the Coastal Elite.

@jackjjackson alright. even more confusing what makes a hummus and falafel plate "coastal elite" in that conversation.

There is a difference between enjoying ones native food, expanding ones world and enjoying all types and bragging about certain foods to appear cool and trendy and like to brag about it. I submit that coastal elites fall in category three by definition. Just my opinion. @CopperCicada

@jackjjackson i didn't realize i was "bragging" about a hummus-falafel plate being "cool" and "trendy". it was sort of like mac and cheese for me coming up. and remains so-- comfort food. that's why i said i'd take it over bbq. comfort. nostalgia. memories. family.

interesting watching the culture war play out like this.

Non of this has referred to you at all my friend. You are down to earth and real. I like that you call it as you see it. Unless you’ve been play acting, you like me are not qualified to be considered a coastal elite. @CopperCicada

@jackjjackson 🤔

You’re not a smarmy condescending know it all smartest person in the room type. You’re real. At least it seems that way to me. No you really not get it or are you pulling my leg? @CopperCicada]
