Old School. Biblically Independent.

What are people craving as they shelter in place? The food delivery service Uber Eats gave some state-by-state insight on this curious question, revealing what was the most popular order in each of the 35 states where they operate. Popular picks included french fries, Pad Thai, and burritos. However, some choices on this list confounded Constitutional Law Professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley. So, he took to Twitter to expose his culinary ignorance.
The most popular uber eats orders in Oklahoma is spicy tuna roll and in both Missouri and Wisconsin crag Rangoon? California is chicken tikka masala? I don't even know what that is beyond the chicken. If true, we have an outbreak of the panpompous. https://t.co/42bRnUQTD0

Thus the dragging began.
Google can help you figure out what chicken tikki masala is, sir. I do enjoy these pretending-I’m-confused-about-cultures-but-actually-just-lowkey-racist-food-tweets, Professor. https://t.co/5HbNMhnZd5

Cool way to announce to the entire internet that you're boring as shit and don't season your food

Tikka Masala is pompous? LOL!!! That's a bit like calling people who order a McDonalds cheese burger snobs ;)

Professor Turley, who teaches at a law school that charges $63,205 a year, pretends to be ignorant to take a swipe at Asians after the President gives a virus a racist nickname and violent attacks on Asians around the country are rising. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.

ah yes, that traditional exotic dish of deep fried krab and cream cheese.

crab rangoon is a fried puff filled with cream cheese and imitation crab meat, it’s been a staple of midwestern fast food since the 1980s, and this attempt at demonstrating your salt-of-the-earth bona fides only reveals that you have no idea how people live https://t.co/ipQjb8W5EQ

How in the hell can you be a Professor at George Washington University in culturally-diverse DC and not know what chicken tikka masala is? https://t.co/oIHcfgVW7t
