    Exclamation OR - SJWs close white women's burrito shop

    At first glance, these two seem to be committed SJWs themselves.

    If so, they were destroyed by their own.

    Allow me to say:




    White women's burrito shop is forced to close after being hounded with accusations it was 'culturally appropriating Mexican food and jobs'

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz4i29jH4M0





    Kali Wilgus and Liz 'LC' Connelly opened Kooks Burritos in Portland, Oregon

    The two friends did so after taking a trip to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, last December

    While there, they learned the basics by 'picking the brain of every tortilla lady'

    'They wouldn't tell us too much, but we were peeking into the windows of every kitchen, fascinated by how easy they made it look,' Connelly told a magazine

    Many accused them of stealing by looking into the windows without permission

    Two white women have been forced to close their pop-up burrito shop after they were accused of cultural appropriation.

    Kali Wilgus and Liz 'LC' Connelly opened Kooks Burritos in Portland, Oregon, after taking a trip to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, last December.

    For the first few months, the weekend pop-up shop housed in an taco truck was a smash hit. It gained so much popularity, a local weekly newspaper decided to profile the entrepreneurial duo.

    But that's when the trouble started for Wilgus and Connelly, after quotes they gave to the Williamette Week led to them being accused of stealing their success.

    The store initially a success, but it was forced to close after the duo was accused of cultural appropriation. Pictured is a meal from Kooks

    Explaining their trip, Connelly told the newspaper: 'I picked the brains of every tortilla lady there in the worst broken Spanish ever, and they showed me a little of what they did.

    'In Puerto Nuevo, you can eat $5 lobster on the beach, which they give you with this bucket of tortillas. They are handmade flour tortillas that are stretchy and a little buttery, and best of all, unlimited.

    'They wouldn't tell us too much about technique, but we were peeking into the windows of every kitchen, totally fascinated by how easy they made it look. We learned quickly it isn't quite that easy.'

    Those comments were latched onto by a food blog in the Portland Mercury, which accused Wilgus and Connelly of 'preying' on the women they met in Mexico.

    After the duo gave an interview, many took to social media to accuse them of stealing from another culture

    'This week in white nonsense, two white women—Kali Wilgus and Liz 'LC' Connely—decided it would be cute to open a food truck after a fateful excursion to Mexico,' the piece opened.

    'The owners of Kooks Burritos all but admitted in an interview with Willamette Week that they colonized this style of food.

    'So let’s recap the story thus far: These two white women went to Mexico, ate tacos, and then decided they would just take what the locals clearly didn't want to give them.

    'If that wasn't bad enough, they decided to pack up all their stolen intellectual property and repackage it.'

    The piece went on to claim getting the weekend taco truck closed was a 'victory' in Portland - a city it accused of having 'underlying racism'.

    'These appropriating businesses are erasing and exploiting their already marginalized identities for the purpose of profit and praise,' it stated.

    Many on social media and the comments section of the Williamette Week article shared in the outrage.

    Many defended the duo after news spread that it had been forced to shut up shop amid the accusations

    'Stealing is in their (white people's) nature so I'm not surprised. They're not creative so they had to get the idea from someone,' Tee McNeill wrote on Facebook.

    'Kooks Burritos is now closed. Good riddance!' Jonas Lord said.

    'Awww, so you nice ladies stole hard-working and low-income Mexican women's tortilla recipes and are now turning a profit. That's not white basic privilege at all. #disgusting,' Alicia Dominguez commented.


    'Now that you all boldly and pretty f***ing unapologetically stole the basis of these women's livelihoods, you can make their exact same product so other white ppl (sic) don't have to be inconvenienced of dealing with a pesky brown middle woman getting in their way. Great job,' Shauna MacKinnon added.

    However, after news of the closure spread, many came to the defense of Wilgus and Connelly.

    '1. Burritos are from L.A. 2. Tortilla making is easy and not a secret 3. Breakfast burritos=white people food,' one person wrote.

    'Seriously!!!!? Do you not think they were speaking metaphorically "looking in people's windows"? She ended up with a tortilla recipe she developed herself and she puts french fries in them. Such cultural appropriation,' another said.

    'Oh my god. you cannot be serious,' another wrote.

    'If learning how to make a food from another culture and selling it is now considered cultural appropriation, then why not take this issue up with the successful Portland businesses that have been doing this at a much larger scale for years, and stop harassing these two women struggling to start a small business,' another added.

    Kooks Burritos has deleted its website, Instagram account, Facebook page, and Twitter profile.

    I hope they don't close any Italian food places the same way.

    If GOD has a sense of humor (and he does), these Morons will spend several centuries on their own island in purgatory, denied access to any thing that their own ancestors didn't invent, and denied anything that their ancestors built on top of something they got from others.
    I would almost trade my right to eat burritos to get a ringside seat to watch them play caveman.

    This sounds like more divide and conquer crap to me. Phrases like "cultural appropriation" or "cisgender".... Who comes up with these idiotic, divisive phrases? Probably those who want us all to be fighting each other so we take our attention off of the true enemy.

    I have no sympathy for Kali and Liz until I see their voting records and their party affiliation.

    What are the odds that two female "partners", and one named "Liz", located in Portland, OR would be constitution-thumping free marketeers?

    I'll wager zero chance.

    Until they provide evidence of their worthiness, these two hairy armpitted lezzies can go double-dong their burrito.

    If your educated guesses are right it is poetic justice, now the other freaks need to get theirs.

    I don't doubt for a second that the puppet masters, the ones pulling the strings, are all about that.

    But the shock troops on the ground?

    They believe the "Cultural Marxist" propaganda with a religious, fanatical zeal.

    I used to not think that, but this last go around, rubbing shoulders with Bernie supporters and then watching the utter hysterical meltdown over the election, has now got me convinced.

    Yeah, I know that many believe the cultural Marxist propaganda zealously. That's why it's sad to me… So many are taking the bait.
