Angry Arab Faux Pas
I committed many political faux pas in this trip. I first mentioned Kit Kat, only to be told that it should be boycotted. I then expressed my admiration in UK to those triangular sandwiches that they sell in stores around the country, only to be told that they should be boycotted (but they are most delicious--I tried them before I knew their evil). And after my talk at SOAS, a woman in the audience (I don't know her), berated me for wearing Lacoste and Polo. She said that both are bad companies that need to be boycotted. Is Manaqish ok?
