Portland Burrito Spot Shutters After Cultural Appropriation Outcry

[Dextroden]

Only if he's French.

Jesus. This country really would fall apart if we took this seriously.

Honest question. Do you do pineapple alone? Pineapple alone makes no sense to me. It needs to support a meat or vegetable.

Yes, I do. But I think it's better with ham. Or in a fruit salsa on fish or maybe chicken.

I have to be careful with it, though, or I may begin appropriating Hawaiian cuisine.

[Stelio Kontos]

Guys, I need to understand this. Did I become a privileged white the moment I stepped foot on US soil?

Do I need to change my name? Do I change my name to Chad or Dale or Skip?

Help turn me into a proper WASP. Do I need a trust fund? Do I wear a romper?

I wish the US government had some kind of initiation package to prepare me for my pending privilege. Do I get a trophy or some robes or something?

[Dextroden]

Oh no...do I have to change my name to Chad?

Chadwick or Chadwin. Chad is the dude who goes of surf seshes. Until the Hawaiians got him.

The ramifications are frightening!

It's as simple as not getting reflexively offended anytime someone says something I don't like. I'm confident anyone can manage that if they simply put their mind to it.

no you keep using that intellect of yours, stop it other folks are not as privileged as you and you are oppressing them with your brain, just stop.

[Dextroden]

Who gets golfing? Irish or Scots?

Did you just assume my potential to do something...?

I'm a quarter Irish, so it's sad for me to admit: Scots.

No theft, NO PROBLEM!

By the way, this is your own creation, and thus is not cultural appropriation!

See how this works?

What harm do you think this will cause?

[Canderous1]

suddenly feeling hungry for burritos.

[belfpala]

I think this thread is way off track.

The important question is this:

WERE THE BURRITOS GOOD?

If yes, this is an outrage!

If no, good riddance!

There.

Now I'm imagining Rich Americans and Japanese either committing suicide or changing citizenship to keep access to one of the most social sports.

[belfpala]

I am also a quarter Irish. Let's go drink a quarter of a green mug of bear on March/4 17th/4 and generally crap on Irish culture like only Americans of Irish descent can. Naturally, we should loudly boast about how proud we are to be Irish-Americans while we do this.

The first restaurant I worked at made really good corned beef and cabbage! It was run by an Italian guy!

[Canderous1]

not going to lie, i'm a little bit concerned that all the micro breweries in the us are going to shut down, since we didn't invent beer.

You can culturally appropriate food now? I guess no chef is ever allowed to learn dishes outside their nationality now then.

Imagine them actually visiting Ireland and proclaiming that among natives. I'm sure it would work out very well for them .

No one gets beer. At all. Anywhere.

Beer was invented by the Sumerians. The original inhabitants of modern Iraq before Semitic-language tribes came in.

Shut it down. Shut it ALLLLLLL down!

There.

In all seriousness: the above is really what is important.

I've got the feeling that there's more to the story. Burrito places have been popping up all over the places and doing fine without anyone screaming cultural appropriation. It's a thriving industry at the moment.
