Portland Burrito Place Forced To Close Due to “Cultural Appropriation”

Two young women fascinated by traditional tortillas studied how they were made in Mexico and brought back what they learned to start their own business in Portland. That was until the social justice lynch mob took affront and accused the entrepreneurs of stealing the livelihood of the Puerto Nuevo Mexican tortilla ladies, and cultural appropriation. Now, the thriving business has been shuttered and erased from social media.

  1. How to tag this? War On Women? War On Whites? War On White Women Shoestring Startups?

    Eventually the Left will eradicate itself.
    But it will have destroyed everything of value before it goes.

    By the way, these two Portland white chicks were “fascinated” by tortillas?
    News flash, ladies. It’s flattened corn flour.
    $1 for 100 at every Dollar Store.

    If the humble tortilla “fascinates” them, wait til they discover the light switch, the umbrella, and the microwave.

  2. Remember what a starving Fred C. Dobbs said about trying to survive by trying to sell lemonade in Tampico, Mexico in “Treasure Of Sierra Madre”.
    “The Mexicans would hound a Gringo
    doing it and run him out of town”.

  3. There is a great Bento place in Hillsboro, owned by Japanese Americans, that makes THE BEST hamburgers in the PNW. I guess they need to drop the burgers and concentrate on bento.

    You’d better check your privilege, Mr. Firefly! Unless those womyn have penises, electric lighting is the cultural expression of white men (pox be upon them).

  5. A burrito store should have been a great addition to the Mexicoast! They should have claimed that they were feeling like they were Mexican Men everytime they went to work. Heck, they should have renamed their wading pool the ‘Rio Grande River’ for authenticity and to let their customers wade thru it into the store!

  6. If these two entrepreneurs in Portland were taking business away from Puerto Nuevo, Mexico tortilla ladies then I wonder just how many burritos those same ladies were actually selling in Portland before Kooks?

  7. This is what happens when chronic bedwetters become activists.

    I love Italian food and make it all the time, better than most restaurants. I’m not Italian. Does this make me a bad person somehow? What about taco night at casa Henry?

    I guess i could just have popcorn for 3 meals a day or am i coopting Native American culture?

    Or just tell the bedwetters to bugger off.

  8. Geesh, these yokels have no foresight whatsoever.
    The Portland biz will employ illegals, who in turn will send their illegally paid wages back to Mexico. Win-win!

  9. So how soon do they start boycotting Taco Hell and every other tex mex restaurant out of business that’s not run by real Mexicans? If it was me and my business I would’ve told them to go to hell or worse. Cultural appropriation is just another made up leftist bullshit term to intimidate people into doing what the left wants them to do or else. Soon nothing will be allowed because it might offend some pissant snowflake. BOO FUCKING HOO! I’ve got an idea, you leave us alone and we’ll leave you alone and everyone will get along just fine.

  10. When do the special snowflakes get forced to eat food and drinks only from their cultural background? No clean water if they have African ancestry, because they do not have clean water in most of Africa. No pizzas for non-Italians. No beer for non-Germanic. No noodles for non-Asians. I can go on forever.

  11. I sincerely believe that near half the country is mentally ill. I think this is a condition that’s happened because mentally ill people entered politics,were voted for by other mi individuals & now it’s feeding on itself. It’s a
    cycle that has to be broken. I can see no solution to this but a civil war.

  12. This, too, shall pass. The one nice thing about childish children is their attention spans are so short. Today tortilla shops, tomorrow….who knows? The women could open their shop up in another couple of months, change the name to something mexican sounding and claim the recipe is from their aunties in El Paso. No one would bat an eye.

  13. This is even more absurd than it seems !!!
    Burritos in Mexico, are nothing like OUR awesome creations. Certain places in Mexico do serve Gourmet (our standard) Burritos,using the recipes stolen from San Diega’ns. Example – Fries inside- veggie’s added- Nacho Cheese etc.
    We got the idea of using the Tortilla as a delivery system from the Mexicans, then WE Perfected it… Tortillas too.
