Left wing racists force white owners of restaurant to close...because they cook Mexican food....

[NYcarbineer]

No one stopped them from selling burritos.

Correct, but it doesn't dismiss what kind of reprehensible people you run with, does it?

I run with people who hate white people for making burritos? Were you born that stupid?

 

[Iceweasel]

So only Mexicans can make burritos without criticism? Portland has something in their water.

lol, did you leave your 'free speech' rants at home today?

Nope, I'm free to criticize politically correct assholes.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Now that these two gals have pulled a publicity stunt to garner RWnut support, they should be able to re-open and enjoy the patronage of the RWnut lunch crowd.

They might want to add a baloney burrito to their menu though.

 

[ricechickie]

No one shut them down except the marketplace.

Maybe they should have sold whine like you do ........

Oh look, another extremist defending bigotry and bullying. Welcome to today's Democratic Party

Where did I defend bigotry and bullying?

I'm just wondering what you would do with this "problem"?

Guess political-correctness or racism, has become a food problem. White people aren't allowed to learn, cook, and serve traditional Mexican dishes.

Just one week after Kooks Burritos in Portland, Ore., was featured in a profile for local publication Willamette Week, the pop-up Mexican food cart has closed down amid accusations that they ripped off their recipes.

Kali Wilgus and Liz “LC” Connelly, the two white women who started Kooks earlier this year, have been accused of stealing their techniques from the “tortilla ladies” of Puerto Nuevo, Mexico — because Connelly told Willamette Week that they gathered their recipes and tortilla-making processes during a holiday road-trip to the Baja California village.

In other words, they did what cooks and chefs have done since the beginning of time. They learned how to make a dish from somebody else, and they started making it themselves. I always kind of figured that was how it worked. Right?

But of course, because these two women are white and they’re living in America in 2017, they get criticism like this:​

If You’re A White Person In Portland, You Can’t Sell Burritos Anymore

Why do you start your thread with an obvious lie?

 

[WillowTree]

Portland grows assholes, like the woman on the plane who told the Trump supporter he could not use his armrest! Now they make a big ******* deal because two white girls wanted to work for a living instead of being on welfare. I am sick of these people.

It's not even clear that the marketplace shut them down. What it looks like is that they caved to some internet people criticizing them

No one stopped them from selling burritos.

Horseshit! You libtards are nuts!

Who stopped them?

Ever hear of the term "white guilt"?

You should tell us all about it.

head's up your ass pal. Liberals are the people who wrote the Constitution and started this country. They had nothing to do with burrito roach coaches

Your brand of liberalism is nothing like the Founders. So-called "progressive" thinking leads to the insanity of SJWs. Keep it up. SJWs are forever linked to the Democrat party.

I have no idea what the **** an "SJW" is and I've never had political party, but I do know Liberalism, and there ain't no reference to it here, expressed or implied. So I called it out --- before this thread got merged the one I posted in referred to "Liberals". The new title refers to "racists". None of that appears here either --- "burrito" is not a freaking race.

See, I'd rather know what I'm talking about before opining on it. What a concept.

Now I suppose we could call a burrito maker "ricist"if they make them with rice. Matter of fact I'm gettin' hungry.

Is eating a burrito cultural appropriation as well?

Were the girls fat? If not, then they should be allowed to sell burritos. Burritos are yummy.

 

[gallantwarrior]

Looks like the market has spoken.

Isn't that capitalism?

Ayup! And the market can be fickle.

Maybe the OP is suggesting we pass a law preventing the SJWs from talking to people.

And is it wrong for us to take issue over the reasons these SJWs decided that it's wrong for whites to make burritos? Is it wrong to think the ousting of Eich (Firefox) because of his position on gay marriage, was totally inappropriate?

No, not at all.

Sure there was no "force" or "policy", that ran these girls out of business...the real issue is SJWs squashing diversity, "Mexicans can only make burritos." Wanting to shut down other people's voice, business, whatever, when we should be voting and promoting freedom. THIS IS NOT FREEDOM, SJWs do NOT want nor BELIEVE in actual freedom. Not of speech, or conscious, beliefs, or religion.

40% of Millennials OK with limiting speech offensive to minorities

Poll: 51% of Democrats support criminalizing hate speech - Hot Air

LOOK at these articles, this is a very bad direction we are taking. Also ask yourself, what constitutes hate speech these days? The term hate speech has gotten immensely broader. This is the issue we are taking up with the social justice warriors in this situation. The fact that they do not believe in basic freedoms, to the point where they believe MAKING FOOD IS STRICTLY BASED ON SKIN COLOR!!!! This is straight up RACIST!! And these people are voting to have this agenda done. Get your head out of the sand and recognize this problem, we should together (left and right) shame these reincarnated puritans the same way they shamed these white girls out of business, something that they probably made a big financial risk to undertake and now are SOL. These SJWs are our new puritans.

"THIS IS NOT FREEDOM, SJWs do NOT want nor BELIEVE in actual freedom. Not of speech, or conscious, beliefs, or religion."

I have to agree with the last part. Most of the lefties I talk to either don't understand freedom, or fear it. But the same goes for most conservatives I talk to. And FREEDOM is exactly what this is. You have every right to complain about it, but no one's freedom is being violated.

Freedom carries an inherent responsibility with it. If one is free to make choices and decisions, then on must accept the responsibility for those choices and decisions. It's so much simpler to blame one's sucky, loser life if they perceive that someone else can be held responsible for that failure. What these losers do not seem to realize is, by allowing others to make their decisions for them, they are responsible for their failure because they accept those decisions.

"Mexican" is not a race, either. It's a nationality.

Portland burrito shop forced to close amid accusations of cultural appropriation, stealing recipes

Just one week after Kooks Burritos in Portland, Ore., was featured in a profile for local publication Willamette Week, the pop-up Mexican food cart has closed down amid accusations that they ripped off their recipes.


Kali Wilgus and Liz “LC” Connelly, the two white women who started Kooks earlier this year, have been accused of stealing their techniques from the “tortilla ladies” of Puerto Nuevo, Mexico — because Connelly told Willamette Week that they gathered their recipes and tortilla-making processes during a holiday road-trip to the Baja California village.


"I picked the brains of every tortilla lady there in the worst broken Spanish ever, and they showed me a little of what they did," she told the site. "They told us the basic ingredients, and we saw them moving and stretching the dough similar to how pizza makers do before rolling it out with rolling pins.”


In the profile, which first ran May 16, Connelly also claimed that, when the Mexican cooks wouldn’t give up their trade secrets, she and Wilgus “were peeking into the windows of every kitchen, totally fascinated by how easy they made it look.”


Connelly then said she used a trial-and-error process to recreate a tortilla with the same flavor and texture after returning to Portland. She and Wilgus then opened their weekend pop-up inside a taco truck on SE Cesar Estrada Chavez Boulevard, and began serving their Mexican-style tortillas filled with California-inspired ingredients.


Though the eatery had been open for several months, the owners of Kooks were only recently accused of cultural appropriation by The Portland Mercury and Mic.com based on Connelly’s revelations.


"Because of Portland’s underlying racism, the people who rightly own these traditions and cultures that exist are already treated poorly," The Portland Mercury said, calling the closure of Kooks a "victory."


The article continues,"These appropriating businesses are erasing and exploiting their already marginalized identities for the purpose of profit and praise."...

"Stealing recipes"? Lmao, as if it's so hard to put meat, cheese, beans, cilantro, and salsa in a tortilla.

I guess liberals have to stop eating at Taco Bell, Del Taco, Chipotle, etc. due to cultural appropriation as well.

I'd be satisfied if liberals stopped eating, period. The added benefit would be their inevitable positive contribution to decreasing human-caused gorbal warming (AGW). Ooops! My bad, "climate change".

 

[gallantwarrior]

Stealing recipes is wrong.

Are the recipes copyrighted? Then, no, it's not theft.

 

[gallantwarrior]

The left are racist ***** who are waging war on people with white skin.

And some of them are totally self-destructive, being "white" skinned themselves. Maybe such mental aberration should be isolated and treated?

Does this mean Mexicans will no longer be allowed to flip burgers?

institutionalize them.

HUH? where does it say anyone was forced out of business? This is the usual Koch corporate conservative complex nonsense in Reason, a magazine supported by wealthy right wing donors to keep the puppets occupied. Much ado about nothing unless you are a tool of corporate money.

Gosh, I dont know where it said that.


Portland Burrito Shop Forced to Close After Getting Hounded for ‘Stealing From Mexico’

The ironic part is the two people in question are probably good leftists themselves (Portland).

It's sad to watch, but better they eat their own than go after us.

It's probably a good thing they did not refuse service to the alphabet crowd (LGBT-what-the-****-ever). They'd be hanging from the nearest light post with rainbow pantyhose.

Except being a kinder, gentler society, we have done away with proper institutions and just let the crazies run the asylum.
