AITA for telling my coworker that celebrating Juneteenth by making fried chicken for the office potluck is 'problematic' and now HR is involved? TL;DR everyone's mad I called out cultural appropriation.

AITA for telling my coworker that celebrating Juneteenth by making fried chicken for the office potluck is 'problematic' and now HR is involved? TL;DR everyone's mad I called out cultural appropriation.

In a painfully predictable turn of events, some corporate 'thought leader' decided to 'celebrate' Juneteenth by selling a 'Limited Edition Freedom Fruitcake' that's literally just a fruitcake dyed red. They're calling it 'sweet emancipation.' The comments are a dumpster fire of people asking if they're also selling 'watermelon-flavored reparations.' Absolute peak corporate cringe.
