This week, a professor at Loyola University in Chicago claimed that organized pantries in people’s homes are rooted in “racism and sexism.”
Dr. Jenna Drenten, an associate professor of marketing at Loyola University, made the remarks in a piece for the Conversation, where she slammed the trend of people posting videos of their styled, organized pantries on the platform TikTok.
According to Drenton, maintaining a clean, organized home equates to “sexist” and “racist” behavior, because most people who post “pantry porn” are white women (via the Conversation):
Cleanliness has historically been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague understanding of “niceness”:

Oh look, another maroon who probably graduated one of our top 20 colleges and universities.

Clearly professors nationwide have too much time on their hands. Universities need to give them more classes to teach and fewer TAs doing their work for them. Let them spend every evening grading papers rather than making up things to get offended about.

It's amazing what people will do to get attention.
Just stop handing out college loan money and she will disappear.

As someone posted online a few days ago; the universe consists of protons, neurons, and morons.

an orderly life makes reasoned , rational behavior possible .Chaos is messy ,messy unstructured thoughts and actions .And jealousy is a nasty hate that can fester the soul and en flame any productive results . Hell, wear dirty clothes , don’t bathe and live on the streets .. ain’t gonna make one happy or a life worth the candle .. sad sad jealous scatterbrained prof in a dead end meaningless vortex of nothing , nothing ..zero

Well don't tell her I have boxes of instant grits in my pantry. She'd likely want me arrested and charged with racism.

In other words, blacks are slobs. Is that your message?

So that is what that noise was OP. I heard you clear over here. LOL
Being organized is now racist?? Seriously? Wonder what these fools think about how organized Jerry Seinfeld's groceries were in his apartment. That always impressed me and gave me incentives to do the same.

Like OP, I've got eye-roll fatigue now. What is hard to picture is the best use of this person's college education leads them to not only watch Tic Toc, but to comment on it as well. Saints preserve us.

OMG...had no idea back in the day that I was a racist/sexist when I alphabetized my spices and kept a very orderly pantry. The label my family and friends gave me was 'anal retentive' and delighted in rearranging everything to annoy me. It worked. I could now not care less if the tarragon and basil are cozying up to one another...well maybe just a little. LOL

I kinda' sorta' remember 50+ years ago when some lie-berals were not totally insane. But those days are long gone!!!!! They are all moonbat crazy these days!!!
But, hey, don't worry Dr. Drenten, at the rate things are going, Bidenflation will soon make it impossible for anyone to have anything in their pantries. So it will be a moot point by then!!!

Organized?
Beyond organized.
I keep a running inventory/shopping list for mine.
I guess I retired and became a racist.

An organized pantry saves money. With grocery items so expensive now due to inflation, it makes it even more important. Mark items with a sharpie with expiration dates so you can see which item to use first. Organize by item - no need to buy 37 cans of the same item that you end up throwing away half because they weren't used. It keeps heavy items off of upper shelves that won't fall on your head. I guess being frugal, logical and safe must be racist now. Let's see a photo of the professor's shelves. Then again, how many ways can you arrange your edible insects?

I'd like the professor to explain to Black women the only conclusion that can be made from her theory. If by being neat and organized, White women are hateful and racist then Black women who are not racist must be messy, disorganized, slobs.
I have at least one Black lady-friend who may take issue with that.

I’m sick of this stupidity. I’m sick of this bull about racism. Roads are racist. Trees are racist. Bird names are racist. And now organized pantries are racist. So this jerk is saying that people of color have messy, unorganized pantries? That’s an insult. How do we put a stop to this idiocy created to cause division between the races.

Are they saying that minorities are incapable of being clean and neat? Who are being the racists here?

Blacks in Chicago do not need pantries. They just shoplift what they need each day, no need to organize or store it so technically this overeducated clown is correct. I used to have a friend who attended Loyola. We haven't spoken since 2016, when the greatest president in US history was elected. It pushed him over the edge.

Spoken like the sow you know she is! I gotta ask did she stink also? Given the tenor of her opinion, bathing has to be "Racist ' as well.

These people are actually insane and I believe it runs rampant in academia on every level from preschool to doctorate levels. By the way, women seem to be the major carriers of the disease. It spreads quickly and can only be cured by taking the Red Pill. Can we mandate that??

Working on my prepper pantry today. Call me what you want. You would think that the black community would be concerned that blacks can't seem to be able to do anything for themselves. Can't do math because math is racist, can't use correct English or write a complete sentence or fashion a paragraph. Another racist ability. And read, we won't even go there. (As we all know the ability to read and comprehend is just too white.) So many "secret" white abilities that blacks are not privy to. So now if my pantry is neat, and tidy and I group my canned meats together and have all my tomato soup cans facing forward that is also another white trick not available to the black community. So I guess the ability to be organized and neat is another white privilege that blacks are not capable of doing. It must suck to be a black person being held back on all these white tools for living. There are plenty of stupid, ignorant white people and obviously that is one trait too many share with the black community. Pathetic. I am a prepper, I have a working pantry, so what?
