Lena Dunham has spoken out in support of her alma mater Oberlin College, where the dining hall has been accused of 'cultural appropriation' for serving the likes of sushi and Banh Mi sandwiches.
Students began protesting the liberal Ohio college's incorporation of Asian cuisine on the cafeteria menu in November.
'There are now big conversations at Oberlin about cultural appropriation and whether the dining hall sushi and Banh Mi disrespect certain cuisines,' Dunham told Food & Wine.
One of the students' biggest gripes was with the Banh Mi Vietnamese sandwich that swapped the traditional baguette with ciabatta bread and used coleslaw and instead of pickled vegetables.
'How could they just throw out something completely different and label it as another country's traditional food?'
