sidwell friend school is serving "asian" food today. so what?

Wow. I guess things are pretty slow in the WUSA 9 news room. Because this story, written by Manny Fantis, appears to be a blatant attempt to create some bullshit controversy out of nothing. It's also flat-out ignorant as hell: Sidwell Friends School, Sasha and Malia Obama's School, Opts For Asian, including Japanese Food On Pearl Harbor Day.

Today marks the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. A day of remembrance. But this observant reporter has made the shocking discovery that the Sidwell Friends School, where President Obama's daughters attend, is serving up -- gasp! -- Asian food on the lunch menu. On today of all days! The insensitivity.
What are President Obama's kids eating at school on Pearl Harbor day? Japanese food, of course!

Sidwell Friends School's website shows the menu for Wednesday December 7th, 2011, the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day, as an Asian food day.
