Two white women have been forced to close their pop-up burrito shop after they were accused of cultural appropriation. Kali Wilgus and Liz 'LC' Connelly opened Kooks Burritos in Portland, Oregon, after taking a trip to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, last December. For the first few months, the weekend pop-up shop housed in an taco truck was a smash hit. It gained so much popularity, a local weekly newspaper decided to profile the entrepreneurial duo.

Can Kim’s missles reach Portland?
I want them to give us back their cell phones, their laptops, and their car keys since they appropriated all those things from white folks.
A recent episode of "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" featured the ONLY burrito shop in Cabo San Lucas, which was founded by, and currently owned by, an American. They're open 24/7 selling burritos to the tourists and locals.
So much for the melting pot that was America
Perhaps the ladies should open a pizza stand instead.
Portland is the Land of Snowflakes.
What if the ladies just worked for a Mexican? That okay?
Tell those ladies to drive the truck to Houston. We love taco truck tacos, and don’t care who makes them!
If a minority becomes a physician, is that cultural appropriation?
They should just say that they “identify” as Mexican and scream racism.
Judging by the pictures that accompany the tweets against them........no, I don’t dare post anything.
It used to be a compliment to a cook that you wanted their recipe(s). Now it is a new crime of ‘cultural appropriation’ if you bring a recipe concept, modify it for local tastes and setup in a different country. WTF? Surely this is a results of a community college bull session where they were trying to find the ultimate absurdist stunt!
The food was to good for Portland...???
BURRITOS are politicized, now...?
Boycott culturally appropriate ethnic food.
Every Mexican working in a McDonald’s must be fired, unless they can document ancestry in Hamburg, Germany.
Add “indoor plumbing” and “electricity” to that list.
What the hell is cultural appropriation...???
Two white women cooking Mexican food better than Mexicans...??? LMAO!
All Mexicans working in fast food joints please report to the border for immediate deportation.
This would be like Cubans protesting every cigar shop in the land claiming it appropriated Cuban culture!
(btw there was litigation post-embargo on the Cuban trade names and if the embargo is lifted that litigation may be re-visited, but that is what trademark law is supposed to be...)
Omg.
