Portland Burrito Spot Shutters Amid Claims of Cultural Appropriation

Just shortly after WWeek announced Kooks Burritos — a small burrito pop-up with events at the Tight Tacos food cart in Southeast — the operation has shuttered and deleted much of its online presence. The closure coincides with public outrage at what some are calling the restaurant’s “appropriation” of another culture’s “intellectual property.”

“These white cooks bragged about stealing recipes from Mexico to start a Portland business.” It reads, “The problem, of course, is that it's unclear whether the Mexican women who handed over their recipes ever got anything in return.”

Please do not use the internet to make these complaints as it was a creation of white men who would not appreciate the cultural appropriation of their efforts.

HONKIES invented phones.

I demand all Mexicans STOP insulting me via their use of phones.

And internet.

And cars.

And planes.

And electricity.

And anti-biotics.

“Cultural Appropriation” is just another cudgel that the cultural Marxists wield to cause chaos and pain. The thing is, it only has power if you grant it.

Actually, all “western “ medicine, basic science, democracy, Christianity and Judaism. If we have to pay “reparations”, I demand royalties for all this and more.

This country is now officially too stupid for words.

Portland is not a part of this country. It is faggot central. And that’s their highlight.

Just wondering - can you get a cheeseburger in Puerto Nuevo?

[TexasRepublic]

The commies in Portland are insane. A restaurant can serve any recipes it wants to, regardless of origin. I would have told those critics to eat a burito through their southernmost orifice.

Should Blacks and Latino’s even be Allowed in ANY School in America because of Cultural Appropriation of White Europeans,

Why are they appropriating our culture by learning to read?

[TChad]

Would someone please link the patent for a burrito? I can’t seem to find it.

[Yogafist]

So, let me get this straight. Men can be on the cover of Vogue magazine pretending to be women, but white people can’t make Mexican food? They are probably just angry they were making it better than Mexicans.

Julia Child culturally appropriated all of those French cooking techniques. Shame.

#12: "Why are they appropriating our culture by learning to read?"

Are you sure about that? They are learning to read?

Ironic given that the “burritos” these dims bulbs eat are from San Francisco and/or SoCal and not Mexico.

** intellectual property **

Is it patented? Trademarked? Copyrighted?
