Food Network Host Claims ‘Straight White Male’ is ‘this Century’s N-Word’ and Unironically Compares Himself to Martin Luther King

Straight white man Josh Denny does not like to be described as such.


The comedian and host of the Food Network's Ginormous Food posted a tweet on Friday saying the neutral description of his race, gender and sexuality has become the modern equivalent of a word associated with slavery, lynching and other crimes against humanity.

"It’s used to offend and diminish the recipient based on assumption and bias. No difference in the usage," said Denny.
