Case study in racial McCarthyism and liberal mental illness. Both owners are Asian but the Councilwoman still threatened them with the power of government. Gym also pimped out her own daughter to vandalize the truck.

That’s weally, weally cute and funny.
I’d buy food from them any day because of their creative name.

The only creature more idiotic than a lib arts professor is a liberal politician.
Paricularly, those of a certain persuasion.

Gym has been getting a lot of backlash about this and the ASIAN proprietors of the truck have been getting support. Most elected officials have a chronic case of ME.

Li went on to explain that Gym also took umbrage at the Asian caricatures painted on the truck, as well as the typeface used in the design.\
Gym should live in Asia for a while. I live in Taiwan ( so I guess I am more Asian than Gym) Those "caricatures" are used all the time on signs, books, cards, etc around here. The Taiwanese don't consider them racist.

So, cute puns are now racist. More proof that the Left is humor-impaired.
Of course, if the Left had its druthers, all food trucks would be painted a uniform battleship gray, and serve a uniform menu of gruel and groats.

Great! I don’t have twitter or I would yoo.
Rich Zeoli on 1210 had the owner on yesterday to get this story as much coverage as he can. This councilwoman needs a therapist and a new job. I hope this drives Wheely’s sales through the roof.
