Patel is a Libertarian Socialist from India and became a US citizen...
Now American apple pie is cancelled! The Guardian links it to the 'vast and ongoing genocide of indigenous people', the slave trade and even calls traditional gingham cloth it sits on cultural appropriation
Guardian writer Raj Patel said the classic American dessert was born of slavery and colonialism
His article highlighted how apple trees had been brought to the west from Asia
He claims they were used as symbols of property by settlers who arrived in America, and forced indigenous people off their lands
Patel also took aim at the sugar crust, and even the gingham cloth an apple pie is traditionally cooled on
But his opinion piece, first published last month, was widely mocked online
One sarcastic tweeter claimed the piece was 'going for gold in the oppression olympics'
Another joked that apple pie was also 'glutenist' and discriminated against people with wheat intolerances
