So now the “Pizza Hawaii” threatens the same fate as the above-mentioned “Gypsy Schnitzel”. “Pizza Hawaii” should in future be called “Pizza Ananas”, and the “Toast Hawaii” should also be ordered as “Toast Ananas”, according to the demand of the Swiss group Linke PoC / Migrantifa, which calls itself “self-organized anti-racists”. The reference of the name to the archipelago in the Pacific serves deep colonial resentment.
The name “Hawaii” is associated with the history of colonialism and appropriation, because it is precisely with the pineapple cultivation that the indigenous population was exploited by white settlers. The debate is therefore not directly about racism, but about “colonial stereotypes”.
Ciao, “Pizza Hawaii”: The demand for the abolition of the “specialty” does not come from Italy – but from Switzerland!
