What was the point of their little story telling people how they were peeping through windows and copying recipes, I m sure they thought it would make their taco shop adorable but it just imbued their business with a negative image from the onset. Chipotle was started by some white guy and i have been to Thai restaurants run by Chinese people. If they left out some of the details of their story they would have been just another outlet serving Mexican food.

I mean if I don't see a chinaman in a Chinese spot I don't patronize. If I don't see a Mexican in the taco spot I don't patronize. If I don't see black folks at a soul food spot I don't patronize. But gooddamn they ain't have to shut them down like that :picard:

Maybe because I'm getting older but I'm so over these "OMG! I'M SO OFFENDED!" types who try to be offended on everyone's behalf.

I completely understand cultural appropriation and the problems it cause but if we are going to go after those two, why not go after the whole nation then?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If we want to defeat the CAC, it's going to have to take more than be offended and preaching on social media. The only way to beat the CAC is by his own game: Economics and politics but nah, that's too much work required.

so what have you been doing about it?
