White Owned Restaurants In Portland, OR. "Shamed" For Serving "Ethnic" Food

Question

https://www.google.com/amp/reason.com/blog/2017/05/23/someone-created-a-list-of-ethnic-restaur/amp

{The list, a Google Docs spreadsheet, includes about 60 Portland-area restaurants, the names of their white owners, and the kind of cuisine they serve. (For example, the list informs us that Burmasphere "was founded by a white man who ate Burmese food in San Francisco.") The spreadsheet also lists competing restaurants that are owned by people of color and urges customers to try them instead.}

"Cultural Appropriation"?!?!

New one on me.....

So, apparently, if you're white, hard work and dedication doesn't account for anything anymore. I thought America was the "Land Of Opportunity" - make the best burrito, we'll buy your burrito. Regardless of your heritage....

I live in California, so I guess pretty soon I'm going to have to start identifying as a Transgendered Half Black/Half Hispanic Muslim Refugee just so I'll be able to collect a paycheck.....

Jesus H. F#kkin' Christ.....

I don&#x27;t know.  Some people are phuckin whack.  You&#x27;re also talking about Oregon here; one of the biggest Liberal, white-guilt states in our beautiful nation.Being part Italian, I could give a sh!t if I went to an Italian restaurant that was owned by a Mexican, who served me a better meal than off-the-boat chef/restaurateur Guiseppe Di&#x27;Lamberto Hold the Tomatoes from Palermo, Sicily.  I went to one of those Hibachi-Japanese joints a couple years back with a lady and she pointed out that the dude working the grill was a Half a Rican and was kind of complaining to me after that he wasn&#x27;t Japanese.  He did the same sh!t and the food was banging so who really cares?  Just b/c he has round eyes doesn&#x27;t mean the food didn&#x27;t come out just as good as the Asian dude who served us the last time.In short, I don&#x27;t discriminate about my food.

So, one pop-up "Mexican" food cart already forced to close because of this?!?!

WOW.... Last I checked, this is still America, right? Year 2017? Correct?

Everyone reading this, **SERIOUSLY** flip the script.... Insert {whatever race/color/etc.} establishment closed by "evil whitey" for "stealing" a hamburger recipe and then having the audacity to try and sell their version of it to the public. White boycott ensues.....

Is this not the lead story on every news outlet nationwide? How much of this country would be on fire right now?

Hey "non-judgemental" Liberal Left, where are we going with this? Why all the "white guilt" and "shame" for being born white? What's the end game here?????
