Choice for Maryland State Sandwich lacks cultural awareness and sensitivity

I can't beleive, and Bmore Ken and others will agree with me here, that this Eastern Shore Republican chose the soft shell crab as the state sandwich. This is racist but what would you expect from the GOP from the Eastern Shore at that??!?!?!?!?!??

And others mention the crabcake. These choices are ethnocentric and show a lack of awareness for diverse cultures and declaring this white invention as the state sandwich will alienate Marylanders from diverse backgrounds. I hereby would like to nominate two other contenders for the Maryland state sandwich .

1. The Seven Layer Burrito - we need to make sure that the New Americans we are welcoming with the Dream Act will truly feel welcome and included in our state's culture. Hence I nominate the Seven Layer Burrito (or the Doritos Locos Taco or the Chalupa Supreme) in honor of the rich cultures of our undocumented workers and New Americans and their rich cultural contributions to Maryland life.

2. Lake Trout Sandwich with side fixins of chitlins, collared greens, and watermelon - this is an authentic and indispensible part of Baltimore's urban culture. Generations of city folks and families have gathered around this rich sumptuous cuisine which has been passed down from generation to generation amid the rowhouses of such culturally rich communities like Sandtown, Randallstown, Pigtown, O'Donnell Heights, and Greenmount Avenue.

3. The Organic Veggieburger - for those who are progressive and socially and environmentally aware, who support a greener planet, and an end to the needless slaughter of animals for meat.....who seek an alternative lifestyle to mainstream America.

Nope, Soft Crab or oyster with a Smith Island cake to chase it with. Chicken Neckers stay the **** over there and you need not apply.

I'm going with the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Peanut butter with apple butter and a banana would be okay as well.

I'm just glad to see the MDGOP finally tackling the important issues facing our state.

What's racist about a soft shell crab? And who really cares what the state sandwich is?

I think Bloomin Onion was trying to be funny. Didn't work.

I think I am more offended that someone would waste time coming up with a "State Sandwich"

I thought it was very amusing. I love sarcasm and satire.

You may be correct

Opinions & rectums... You know the rest. But, why perchance, do you believe that you are the ultimate judge or right/wrong?

That's the point I am taking from this story too.

Talking about your rectum and Opinions? I really don't care what you think. However, If you think, I am ultimate judge right/wrong. You are correct. Now, move on.

Are they serious? We're paying them to come up with stupid 5h!+ like this. I don't care if it's a (R) or (D) after their name, they should be thrown into a vat and have hard crabs dumped on them.

Dear Senator, our economy is tanking, we have a serious deficit problem, we're being overtaxed, our infrastructure is crumbling and you're worried about a friggin' state sandwich. Are you effing kidding me?

Just another thing to get you upset, and it works everytime.

You're not? Why not? If not, you're as much to blame as these fools we have in office. Unless you're the driver of the clown car in the circus. The next thing I guess they'll try to change is the state sport to duckpin bowling. Oh nevermind, they tried that before and it fell through.

Can one REALLY say these examples are human? Darwin should have left them on Galapagos. Who knows what might have happened in 5,000 years?
