    ^^Just a little food truck, those are typically staffed by the owners and are basically labors of love. Some of them go on to do other things. Wouldn't a front of a mexican slinging their appropriated food be even worse? That is a joke of course considering that none of this makes any sense whatsoever.

    Oh on another note here is a picture of Chipotle's owner.



    Yeah he's made millions and millions of dollars by appropriating another culture's food and looks to be possibly the whitest douche on the planet.

    But people went after two young owners operating out of a roach coach. Because they are fucking retarded beyond all hope.

    Really? You mean you wouldn't just laugh if off as being a totally stupid thing to be "accused" of?

    Possibly a militant lesbian based PC cyber attack.....

    After the review was published, Kristin Goodman, co-founder of feminist workspace Broadspace, circulated what she called a "shit list" of "white-owned, appropriative restaurants." [Update: As of 11 am on June 7, the document has been deleted or made private.] The list names more than 60 restaurants that serve ethnic cuisine but are owned by a white person.

    "White business owners wield economic and 'cultural capital' advantages over POC (people of color" business owners, so they are 'punching down' by appropriating cuisines from people who are disadvantaged in comparison," the list says.

    The list identifies Pok Pok (Thai), Voodoo Doughnut (religious appropriation) and the Alibi (Polynesian), with suggestions of POC-owned businesses that readers of the list should frequent instead. The Portland Mercury decried the "pattern of appropriation" Kooks represented and linked to the list, calling it a "who's who of culinary white supremacy." Nine days later, the Mercury pulled the Kooks story from its website and issued a retraction.

    Meanwhile, the owners of Kooks received so many threats—at least 10 of which were death threats, they told WW— that two days after our review appeared, they closed their business because they felt unsafe.

    I was already going to take a crack at the potential consequences such an article could have, but I think Fred's post says it all.

    I feel sorry for anybody who's dream is crushed by pathetic stupidity and small minded ignorance.

    Is there not anything that we can we all just come together to say that "yes, this is stupid". No qualification, no left versus right little box to throw it in. Just full stop, "this is dumb".

    Don't you think its a little weird that everything is political? Like your post just feeds back the same dumb right wing mindset that makes this about oppressed white people. You're just using their interpretation to apply an equally silly one of your own.

    This situation isn't about any of that nonsense. The fact that these two women were ran out of business is newsworthy and a story worth telling. And that story is about the pure dumb unadulterated pig headed indefesible and laughable ignorance of people who would turn making burritos into some type of political statement about race or culture or anything else whatsoever.

    Its almost like that mindset that turns every little tiny thing into something political could be used to say...oh I don't know...maybe run a couple of people out of town with pitchforks for making burritos.

    I mean, just generally speaking or whatever....

    My once English neighbourhood High st is now awash with proprietors from Afghanistan and regions who open and run "Pizza" take away or Colonel Fried Chicken take aways, I'd be arrested if I pointed out that these invaders had stolen another's food making culture recipes.

    I lean to the left, but the people who persecuted these women are absolute pratts.

    Most small bakeries in NZ are owned and operated by Cambodians or Vietnamese.
    I'm sure nobody would complain that they produce excellent pies.

    I get a little bit hot under the collar when Maori whine about cultural appropriation for things like a Disney movie having traditional Maori designs on a cartoon depiction of a wall, or my mate's craft beer which has a Maori name on the label. But at least the people complaining have some sort of "ownership" of the IP. But the dyke feminazi who published the "shit list" is way over the top; she's not even crusading for her own culture and I bet she didn't ask the Mexicans if they cared.

    The women who started the burrito shop should have stuck it out.

    It would be nice to see them reconsider. Death threats do have a way of putting together 7 dollar burritos with 5 dollar overhead seem much less appealing

    After reading some responses it seems (once again) that people have missed the entire point.

    Should any person or people, based on their ethnicity, race, nationality, location or origin, - NOT - be able to cook certain foods and offer them to the public?

    That's the irony. Wrong for non-poc to sell ethnic food, OK to lodge death threats and violence at the 'violators'. A good law suit to the dyke who instigated it all would be fitting.

    ^^ Though of course if it were mexicans making apple pie you'd only be interested in their legal status.

    I wouldn't personally, but there would be someone there making it an issue, especially if they were making money at it.

    The point is about food.

    And should all people in their world be able to cook and offer the foods that they want to the public?

    Nothing more; nothing less.

    Silly bullshit this. Using same logic, Mexicans should not be allowed to cook Mexican food because Mexican food is based on Spanish, Mayan and other Native American foods.
