University students have been flooding their school paper with complaints about the food, complaining dishes on offer in the campus cafeteria are “insensitive”. One student, Tomoyo Joshi, said the rice used in campus sushi was undercooked in a way that made it “disrespectful” of her culture. She added: “If people not from that heritage take food, modify it and serve it as ‘authentic’, it is appropriative”.

Meanwhile Diep Nguyen, a first year student from Vietnam complained about a poorly made recreation of the traditional Banh Mi Vietnamese sandwich, saying :”“It was ridiculous,” “how could they just throw out something completely different and label it as another country’s traditional food?” Oberlin College in Ohio is renowned for its social justice, and has been called “the most liberal of liberal arts colleges”. Officials in charge of the food on campus later folded to pressure, and agreed to name food based on its contents when it does not follow traditional recipes.

It comes as universities strike out at PC student’s approach to campus life. Earlier this month Dr Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, slammed his “self absorbed” students, telling them to “grow up”. He said: "Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic. "Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims. "Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them 'feel bad' about themselves, is a 'hater', a 'bigot', an 'oppressor' and a 'victimiser'."
