>People don't become less racist after eating foreign food
No, I think the point is, people (like the author) feel less racist after eating foreign food among people who don't look like them. Pride is one possible emotion, but relief is one that seems like it would generalize more. The internet is full of faceless people talking about racism, and getting out in the real world and doing normal things around normal people can be therapeutic. Like taking a walk outside the cult compound.
>They shouldn't, on top of that, be forced to emotionally validate their customers.
Well, the point is to describe how they do, whether or not intentionally; do you have a proposal for how they should stop gratifying customers?
You're entitled to find the picture painted ugly, but if it's really shocking, then writing the article may be worthwhile regardless.
