As an ABCD, likewise. My mom told me to specifically buy turmeric at western grocery stores (as opposed to other spices, which could be had for better prices at Indian grocery stores) because of concerns around lead.

- sidewndr46 3y agoOh wow, I've seen this without knowing it had a name.

- princevegeta89 3y agoLol, I never knew there was a Wikipedia article for this slang acronym that we use all the time.
- sbierwagen 3y agoWikipedia has been backfilling slang terms lately, in competition with urbandictionary and knowyourmeme. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheugy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheugy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_boomer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_boomer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%2BRatio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%2BRatio etc

- Eisenstein 3y ago'Woke' is a very loaded word. A heads up that if you use it in the way you just did, people will assume certain things about you. Unless you don't care, in which case continue so that everyone knows what assumption they should make.
- worthless-trash 3y agoI don't think you can assume someones internal views by use of word, especially such a term with a complex history that means different things to different people. The way you present it seems to have more problems than the 'not care' use case.
- Eisenstein 3y agoYou can debate all you want the merits of it. I am stating a fact.
- concordDance 3y agoSome people will assume X and some will assume Y and the majority won't bother to assume anything.
- worthless-trash 3y agoI wasn't debating.
- DropInIn 3y agoThe quotation marks denote a very specific form of usage, one that generally implies a disregard/disrespect for those who use the word legitimately. Using the word isn't the issue, it's How you use it. Like using the word Jew. It's fine if you're saying "I'm a Jew" but not fine if you say "Get a load of that Jew over there". Is that clear enough?
- valarauko 3y agotbf lead testing is pretty standard in Indian spice brands for a long time now, though for some reason the brands don't really advertise it. Reputable brands like MDH and Everest would be pretty safe.
