An Arizona woman went on an unhinged rant against a taco restaurant because it is owned by two white brothers.

Lily Kaplan torched Poolboy Taco in Phoenix after sampling the Mexican eatery's nachos and soft tacos.

She shared a blistering review with her 21,000 TikTok followers earlier this month slamming the quality of the food and taking aim at owners Jared and Aaron Pool.

Arizona is a center for Mexican food—especially Sonoran-style Mexican food.

You do not have to be Mexican to make—or sell—Mexican food!

If this feminazi insists that one has to be Mexican to make Mexican food, she should just pick another restaurant, and stay off of social media.

No one needs more feminazi yapping on social media—or in daily life!

FROM GOOGLE AI:

Yes. Attempting to destroy a business by publishing fake, malicious, or misleading reviews is illegal at both the federal and state levels. The following specific federal laws and regulations directly cover these actions:

1. The Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1125)

This is the primary federal law that protects businesses from unfair competition and false advertising. Under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, a business can sue a competitor in federal court for making false or misleading descriptions of fact that hurt the business’s reputation or sales.

Applicability: This applies if a competitor is posting or sponsoring fake reviews, artificially inflating their own ratings, or manipulating review systems to intentionally sabotage your business in the same commercial space.Available Remedies: Injunctive relief (forcing the removal of the false ads/reviews), monetary damages, and attorney’s fees.

2. The FTC Act & The Rule on Consumer Reviews and Testimonials

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) strictly enforces laws against deceptive and unfair marketing practices. The FTC’s Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials specifically targets review manipulation and suppression.The Rule makes it illegal to:Create, sell, or buy fake consumer reviews.Write reviews about competitors that misrepresent the reviewer’s actual experience or opinion.Use unfounded or groundless legal threats and intimidation to coerce a consumer into deleting or refraining from posting a negative review.Penalties: Businesses found in violation can face severe civil penalties, reaching over $50,000 per violation.You can report this deceptive conduct directly to the FTC Report Fraud portal.

3. Defamation (Libel)

Beyond specific advertising laws, publishing false statements of fact that damage a business’s reputation and cause financial loss is considered defamation (specifically, libel when written). While defamation is primarily governed by state law, federal courts often handle it when it is combined with Lanham Act claims.

Another pretty American girl ruined by feminism and leftism. She probably doesn’t date white boys either.

Does she have a rant about foreigners raping women here and Europe or is that approved behavior because they are not white?

This is ridiculous. I don’t need an Italian to make my pizza, I don’t need a Thai to make my beef satay, I don’t need an Indian to make my chicken vindaloo and I don’t need a Mexican to make my tacos. Just make them good and I’m good.

“”’This photo is giving wannabe Brooklyn edgy, but it’s just giving your kids hate you, and you hate the person taking the photo,’ Kaplan said.

She noted that Poolboy ‘overall represents the state of America’ at the moment. “”

***

Yet another ‘not so bright’, brainwashed and unhinged leftie bleats up and clearly displays how much they really hate America, not just ‘whitey’. It’s a shame that she is, as proven by her own words, hate-filled and ugly on the inside, despite the somewhat attractive outward appearance. I pity the person, male or female, that ever gets involved with that one.

It would seem to me that her review is less about the food and more abour her anti Trump, anti Maga, sensibilities. The fact that she tied her statements in with pediphillia represents a lawsuit opening for libel. It assumes that the Poolboy owners share a mindset that one must automatically suspect as being pedophilliac in nature.

I would raise Holy Heaven and raucous hell if someone ever did that to me...lawyer cost be damned.

Spoiled officious white girl who pretends she is down with latino culture and presumes she has they right to judge white men she doesn’t even know personally? Nope...that one needs to cost her!

She did a subtle drive by accusation of pedophilia in her statements concerning these owners...that should get a libel trial!
