The style of food or hat legitimizes the dispossession of the colonized. Putting their cultural patrimony to a "higher and better use" than they could, similar to the justification for land theft. Abstract stuff that doesn't respond well to demands for policy change, but a real thing nonetheless.
Either way, it is probably the single most trivial gripe one could have with Israeli settler colonialism and it's strange to see so much energy devoted to it.
Vanity sizing is out of control, though. Appropriate waist sizing also can vary a bunch based on the rise height. Measurements help, but vibes are all we can cling to in a world of illusion.

Idk how we get good behaviors with only sticks, but that seems to be where we are.
Immigration is by far the most important political issue of the century for the simple reason that it has the same origins and effects, the same scope of impact, and arouses the same passions with the same moral urgency as the issue of slavery did in 1850s America
Which makes it way more tradition-coded! And she also fully satisfied motherhood expectations by birthing and raising a bunch of kids before ever running for office.
Gender firsts are tougher because gender spills into a bunch of categories. Hard to have a traditional marriage when you're a woman governor. Or be a traditional mother, etc. etc. Not a coincidence that Nancy Pelosi's career went the way it did.
This is also why Buttigieg is a strong contender. He has all the trappings of being an extremely bland candidate, but he is also gay (in a very non-controversial, heteronormative kind of way).
The rule of being just one non-normative thing at a time really succeeded here. He was moderate on issues, avoided the stain of an Iraq vote, had a picture-perfect marriage, spoke like a professor, but was also the first black major party presidential candidate.
