Portland Burrito Spot Shutters Amid Claims of Cultural Appropriation
Eater Portland, OR ^ | May 22, 2017 | Mattie John Bamman

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.”

I considered qualifying my statement for those in the Public School system, but then I realized they were Actively Appropriating our culture by just trying to learn or even being there.

#14: "They are probably just angry they were making it better than Mexicans."

Even beyond the American food tasting better is the fact that it isn't contaminated with spoiled meat, rotting vegetables, salmonella, or bits of fecal matter.

“Cultural Appropriation” is a another method to use the race card to divide people for the political benefit of the Marxist insurgency. This is not a issue of fairness. It is about political power for the benefit of elite leeches.

Now what sort of people started and control Taco Bell? And who owns the franchises? If it was white people, then somebody has a heck of a lot of complaining and protesting to do.

I have been to 20 Mexican states, in all regions of mexico. I have never ever even once seen an american style burrito. Things not part of mexican pallet

1) Flour Tortillas - I think flour tortillas are considered sacrilegious in Mexico - especially large tortillas
2) Cheddar Cheese - If Cheese is used at all, it is generally goat cheese.
3) Shredded lettuce, just not used...closest is shredded cabbage for seafood tacos, or straight up cilantro
4) Sour Cream, just not used anywhere
5) I can keep going

You got it right.

Taco Bell was founded by a guy named Glenn Bell shortly after WWII. The taco, as you know it, did not exist until Glenn Bell invented it.

Pepsico owns Taco Bell. And they’re also appropriating Faux Italian with Pizza Hut.

But those oh-so-authentic breakfast burritos with French fries and avocados nestled in there with the other ingredients are a time-honored meheecan tradicion from before the birth of Guadalupe Hidalgo. We must hespect their esacred culture-o.

True. The entire west coast. And Colorado. And Austin. And the eastern seaboard. And Tulsa.

But other than that, we're golden. /s
