According to Eater, the two aforementioned white women came under fire after being featured in a WWeek article that describes how they “picked the brains of every tortilla lady” in Mexico to learn their secrets. “These white cooks bragged about stealing recipes from Mexico to start a Portland business,” whined Mic in a subsequent article. The Portland Mercury followed with an article stating, “this week in white nonsense, two white women decided it would be cute to open a food truck after a fateful excursion to Mexico.” Ultimately, as Eater puts it, “the operation has shuttered and deleted much of its online presence.” The “appropriative” white women. (Image via WWeek) Judging by a spreadsheet making the rounds, the social justice warriors of Portland are not content with merely causing one restaurant to shut down. No, they’re going after them all.“White people are nearly 50% more likely than people of color (POC) to own a business in the state of Oregon,” the spreadsheet’s ‘About’ section declares. “Ownership builds wealth in ways that employment does not.” “The racial wealth and small business lending gaps in the US are pronounced, which allows white folks to open new businesses more easily.” “These white-owned businesses hamper the ability for POC to run successful businesses of their own (cooking their own cuisines) by either consuming market share with their attempt at authenticity or by modifying foods to market to white palates. Their success further perpetuates the problems stated above. It’s a cyclical pattern that will require intentional behavior change to break.”The spreadsheet’s authors clarify that they are a group of “POCs,” because apparently people have accused them of being white. Over in the ‘Restaurants List’ section of the spreadsheet, the sheet’s creator has listed several “appropriative” restaurants along with the “nearest POC-owned alternative.” Here’s a sample. The spreadsheet’s creator, by the way, has defined culturally appropriative restaurants in the *totally not racist* sense of “Restaurants or food carts selling non-European international cuisine owned *solely* by white people who were not born or raised in the country or region from which the restaurant’s cuisine originates.” If this all makes you cringe, wait till you hear Comedy Central’s rap song about cultural appropriation.Warning: may cause cancer.
