Another small business of enterprising risk takers murdered by "social justice".
:doh:

Some choice quotes from another source on the story:
Some commenters in the Week article agreed with the “white folks profiting off the labor of people of color” explanation.

One accused Connelly and Wilgus of being “white girls using their whiteness to steal from brown people.”

“This is about stealing aspects of a culture without credit, and laughing about it like the two little idiotic privileged white girls they are,” another commenter noted.

Yet another wrote, “These white girls think what they’re doing is completely harmless and what not. They don’t go through the struggle these women do who wake up early in the morning to make a living [in] a community.”

A Portland Mercury piece said the burrito-making duo “colonized this style of food” and then “decided it would be cute to open a food truck.” And while the Mercury called Kooks’ late Friday closure a “victory,” it added other forms of cultural appropriation will happen in the future “unless we continue to call this out.”

It was a response to the post directly above it, which raised the topic of cultural appropriation.
Derp.

I found it to be Waleisian, or, sub-standard.

Yeah, thanks, I watched Blades of Blood. It was pretty good... a little different from what I expected. I have some of the others on tap to watch soon.

War of the arrows and the Admiral are probably next on my list.

I'm unsure of Waleis' proper pronoun, but live Waleis does.
