Because "cultural appropriation." Because white people aren't allowed to do anything anymore without being called a slew of garbage, identity politics insults. *I wrote "taco truck" in the title but it should be "burrito truck." Jesus Christ, have we still not reached "peak SJW bullshit" yet? I've yet to read about or encounter someone who uses the term "cultural appropriation" in a serious manner who isn't just an awful, miserable person. pdx.eater.com/2017/5/22/15677760/portland-kooks-burrito-cultural-appropriation

Can't we all just agree the world needs more tacos?

If the (speculated) lack of compensation is really the issue, then call it out as IP theft or something, not cultural appropriation. To be fair, maybe there was a quid pro quo: perhaps they offered their recipe for green bean casserole with cream of mushroom soup and a crumbled potato-chip crust. Or is that known west of the Mississippi and south of the Seventies? I wish this thread had prompted a craving for tacos. But it made me think of Old El Paso... which made me think of this. "Thanks"

Potato chip wha? It's those onion crisps, silly.
Wait a minute... are you appropriating the green bean casserole recipe?
*flails*
ETA: I might have to try that though
*makes note for Thanksgiving*

I always use the onion crisps but my daughter says poetinahat's idea with the potato chips is "the bomb". So we're doing that from now on.

Or is that known west of the Mississippi and south of the Seventies? I wish this thread had prompted a craving for tacos. But it made me think of Old El Paso... which made me think of this. "Thanks" From the description they gave in their interview, it sounds like they simply just asked people who were making their food, "Hey, how do you make that?" and the people told them that they weren't gonna tell them the "secrets" but they told them the basics, and the two women got the general idea of what to do by asking lots of people. That's pretty much how a lot of cooks and chefs learn. Is using a recipe now considered "cultural appropriation?" I think the only reason this was a problem from the Regressives in Portland is simply because these women were white and wanting to make burritos and in the toxic alternate reality of bullshit that SJWs currently live in, white people are evil and shouldn't be allowed to do anything. If they'd been any other a racial group, I doubt this would've even been a blip on anyone's radar. Because, if we follow the fractured, infantile logic here, then the following businesses must shut down immediately because of bullshit "cultural appropriation:" Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, Taco Bell, Del Taco, every Chinese food place not run by Chinese people, every Japanese place not run by Japanese people, every restaurant that sells Southern food that isn't run by a Southerner (I'm sure the Southerner would still have to be non-white, though), etc. etc. etc.

Ugh. People who mouthfart all this bullshit about us living in a "white supremacist culture" or "patriarchy" or "rape culture" are deeply ignorant of what those types of cultures actually are, look like, and how they function. I imagine most of those people are likely deeply ignorant about a lot of other stuff too.
If a person claims that someone else shouldn't be able to do something because of their race, that is racist. It doesn't matter if they're white or non-white. It's racist, period.

Yeah, this is all leaving a bad taste in my mouth...
Some of the analysis on this is just impossible to swallow...
They've obviously been stewing on this nonsense for a long time...
*goes off to eat some freedom fries and cherry-cheese rose of the prophet Muhammad*
And how come no one appropriates Scottish cuisine?

Mod note:
I deleted two posts because they were referencing an argument from another thread that HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS THREAD. Do I need to make a rule about that?

And how come no one appropriates Scottish cuisine? Haggis appropriated it for his name. I think that deserves some level of punishment. *calls for my dog who probably is part pitbull* PLUS... I bet those SJWs sip on their Starbucks Venti Cafe Lattes and Grande Cappuccinos while they write those arguments without a thought of picketing Starbucks for cultural appropriation from Italian espresso traditions

Well, crap. I missed all the fun. Nonsense! The real fun is figuring out which thread the deleted posts referenced. it's like a scavenger hunt!
