Yo, Is This Racist?

Anonymous asked: I was just reminded that Croissants are crescent-shaped to celebrate victory over muslims in battle in the eighth century. :-/ Is it racist for me to still think they're goddamn delicious?

They aren’t even delicious, tho, fuck those racist-ass pastries.

20. sechan19 said: A crescent shape means the croissant is made with margarine. A diamond shape means it is made with butter. All other meanings are apocryphal. Racists may think the shape refers to some past battle, but that says more about them than about the pastry.
