I didn’t know you need to be authentic Mexicans to own a Mexican restaurant. Should Greeks own Italian restaurants? Or whites Chinese restaurants?

Best pizza I've ever had was from a Greek-run hole in the wall gyro joint.

The place will be subject to protests.

It’ll be a magnet for the majority of students who hate the SJW snowflakes, therefore will be very popular.

The snowflakes will demand that the university take punitive action against students who patronize it. Being a state school, Univ of Arizona won’t be as to.

The snowflakes will start taking pictures of the kids who patronize the place, and will intimidate, harrass and bully them both physically and on social media.

This will only cause the snowflakes to be more despised.

The university just needs to FORBID students from going there or even looking in the direction of the restaurant. They can supply blinders to people who have difficulty averting their eyes, perhaps even digital blinders that photoshop in a different scene when they look at Illegal Pete’s.

Actually, maybe that would be a generic solution for all these campus sensitivity problems. Immerse the students in virtual reality so that they are never offended by real reality.

What’s a “racist restaurant”?

They serve racists?

If you serve Mexican food, then you are “appropriating” the Mexican culture, for you which surely owe reparations.

These people are certifiably nuts.

“as it led to the dismantling of Tucson’s highly successful Mexican American studies program”

Successful at what?

The end game for these marxist whiners is for Universities to have extra territorial jurisdiction for a certain radius from the campus.

Reminds me we had a sushi place down the street which I regularly ordered takeout from and after the earthquake and tsunami disaster of April 2011 I went in to offer condolences and the lady I spoke to said oh we’re all Korean here.

Meet Pete (not Pedro), Professor.


Pete Turner

It appears Illegal Pete's (founded in 1995) has absolutely nothing to do with los ilegales!

Looks like they're quite the progressive company as well when it comes to employee compensation, the exact kind of business the Left wants others to emulate. So they're trying to shut it down.

I’ll worry about that as soon as the Mexicans apologize for appropriating the Spaniards’ culture!
