There may not be a single notion among leftists that is more groan inducing than cultural appropriation. These people flip their lids every time someone borrows an idea from another culture. To them you’re a racist if you act, speak, or dress like anyone who isn’t from your tribe, or if you even celebrate their holidays. And of course, it generally only applies to white people, as if they’re going to ruin every culture they touch. Now this petty belief is ruining reputations and livelihoods. It Portland, Oregon, it forced two successful business owners to close up shop. Kali Wilgus and Liz ‘LC’ Connelly, who are two white women, started a burrito business several months ago called Kooks Burritos. It was an instant hit. Last week they revealed in an interview with a local newspaper, that they had learned some of their recipes during a trip to Mexico. 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.’ After the article was published, social media lit up with accusations of cultural appropriation. The outrage snowballed after a writer for the Portland Mercury slammed the two women for cultural appropriation, and “colonizing” recipes from Mexican cuisine. ‘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 business was also eviscerated on Yelp by hyperventilating social justice warriors. Somehow, I find it quite funny that there’s some sad sack out there, cautiously protecting his precious tortilla recipe from white people, but I digress. Amid this backlash, the two women have shut down their business, seemingly without comment. Their website, Facebook account, Instagram account, and Twitter profile have all disappeared. And all because they were white people who had the audacity to serve burritos to the public. Cultural appropriation is a bizarre concept when you think about it. It demands that you treat every culture like an animal in a zoo. You can admire them from afar, but don’t you dare touch. It’s also a sign of severe cognitive dissidence among leftists. They claim they want everyone in the world to mix and live in peace, but they snap at people who dare to share another culture. Ironically, it sounds an awful lot like regular old racism. It used to be that liberals fought ideologies that segregated races and cultures. Now these people are fighting for the same thing that racists in the past fought for; which is to maintain the purity of certain races and cultures. And just as it was in the past, this deluded belief is ruining lives.

Now hold on. If every tortilla lady in Mexico was using the same recipe, who stole from who? Where's the outrage? But if every tortilla lady in Mexico was using a slightly different recipe, then the "two white women" (can I say that?) created a recipe all their own based on a combined input. That's not stealing. Liberals need to make up their minds -- integration or segregation. Personally, I think making or eating food from another culture is a compliment to that culture and a sign of acceptance.
This is insane !!!

Hopefully their plan will be to reopen in another city under another name, this time declining interviews.
Makes you wonder when they will go after white musicians like Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jonny Lang and other guitarists for "appropriating" The Blues. Might as well go after the Rolling Stones as well. Give them time. They are too busy right now with burning Confederate flags, and tearing down confederate monuments, and with this happy horseshit. I suspect that sooner or later, the PC Anti white crowd will want to blow up Mt Rushmore. Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Might as well go after the Rolling Stones as well. Won't work. Blacks "stole" the blues from white people. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
"they decided to pack up all their stolen intellectual property"

That's our new version of judicial activism.
