Spaniards were outraged. Some replied with angry, insulting tweets. Many sent pictures of their own paellas as inspiration. Others created fake, outrageous variations on the classic hot dog. A Spanish chef kindly took it upon himself to show the American actor what paella is and what it isn’t. For some hours, this became a trending topic in some regions in Spain. Schneider finally apologized and vowed to try to make it again, with all the new paella knowledge forced on to him through social media.
Krishnendu Ray, a New York University professor of food studies, argues in “The Ethnic Restaurateur” that white chefs have more freedom to play with other people’s food than chefs of color do, which creates an inherent inequality in the field. To that, I would add that in a world where most people turn to the Internet to find recipes — and English is the de facto lingua franca of the online world — English-speaking chefs not only have more freedom to play around, but they also have the power to ultimately transform traditional dishes from other countries, without so much as an acknowledgement.
So please, please, Mr. Schneider, at the very least — use a paella pan next time.
Why doesn't the UN's Council for Real, Accurate Paella step in and end this atrocity?!

Ok, for a second there I thought we were seeing our first atrocity of 2017, but that's from 29 Dec. I was worried for a second.
2017 will be different. 2017 will be different. 2017 will be different. 2017 will be different. 2017 will be different. 2017 will be different.
