[NYT] Don’t Call It an ‘Ethnic’ Grocery Store

This is a point I love exploring here on HO. I have tried a few times, some more successful than others, and on occasion I have been surprised about the sensitivity it sometimes engenders!

For the purposes of this go round, I am reminded of this place labeled DeKalb “farmers market” in Atlanta, Georgia.



The website refers to a “world market”. IIRC, I was there for “salt fish” and “pigeon peas”. Other folks from a variety of places were likely there for these and other things as well, and often called the same things by different names.
