We need a new term for this. One thats not already attributed to good people or the initials of internet originated terminology.
Something like... Fauxgressives.

The taco truck is in Portland, they got (or stole according to comments) the recipe and technique on a trip down to Mexico. I assume the comment is saying they sole those peoples customers?

My bad, I misread. I thought they went to Mexico, got inspired, came back, and then started learning.

[QUOTE=Booker K;52276331]Pretty much every Taco Bell I've been to the majority of workers are typically white, and nobody bats an eye about it.
I'm as baffled as to why they would target a single business over culture appropriation while there are plenty of other larger franchises who sell food originating from a culture that differs from their ethnicity.[/QUOTE]
Because if they ever tried harassing them they'd get absolutely annihilated with lawsuits.

Baby, you can't taste racism
"Cultural appropration" is such a bizarrely ethnocentric idea, you'd think it came from fascist rhetoric.
In this world, simply existing is cultural appropriation, unless you're born into an unconctacted tribe in the jungle. Cultures give and take from eachother all the time when they meet.
American culture itself is a product of several immigrant cultures coming together. Even some traditional European customs that we take for granted, came from another culture centuries ago.
European and American cultures gets "appropriated" too in the third world, and I don't see no-one complaining about that.
And from the cultures that we "appropriate" I rarely hear the same complaints. Rather, they are often happy that their culture is spreading around the world. I remember that video where a guy in Japan asks random people on the street what they think of weaboos (and they're fine with it).
Even though the intention might be to protect vulnerable cultures from exploitation, this idea only ends up reinforcing ethnocentric and racist ideas, such as segregation and cultural superiority.
Thankfully, this idea is a fringe among the left wing, mostly confined to some sheltered students in the US.

This honestly reads like you got all of your information on the topic from Facepunch threads.
Australia even has laws pertaining directly to this.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;52276192]I kinda get what they're getting at... Serruptitiously sneaking around and trying to get the recipes (intellectual property) of people who do not wish to disclose them, who are currently selling those foods? Yeah, that's pretty fucked up regardless of race.

I don't think burrito recipes can be patented, unless they were very innovative somehow. So they're most likely not intellectual property.

Coming up with a burrito recipe that's similar to another chain is different from specifically going to another chain and copying exactly what you see.
Should I call all the Italian restruants over here racist since they are mostly ran by Mexicans? No that's fucking stupid as fuck
I'm tried of these racist that yell racism when something stereotypicaly done by one race is done by another

Neither seems like a big deal at all. Every burger place on the planet has a variation of beef+ketchup+pickles+lettuce +tomatoes+mayo. The exact ingredients in a whopper. Doesn't mean anyone stole the whopper.

They didn't copy the entire burrito, just the tortilla making process. The rest of the burrito was with their own ingredients:

Christians are fair game to criticize, with Muslims you have to respect the culture.
Imagine being so progressive that you actually end up being pro-segregation. Hows the saying go? "The anti-fascists of today will be the fascist of tomorrow"?
"cultural appropriation" the single most bullshit non-issue SJWs have fits about. Yeah, don't patronize and make fun of other cultures, that makes sense, but a white person cooking a fucking burrito isn't cultural appropriation and you're the one being a cunt if you're gonna make a big stink about it.
There's that misused and misunderstood phrase again, cultural appropriation. I'm fucking fed up of seeing a misused anthropological concept being used to shut others down in one form or another. From shit like that one museum that had a Kimono night and there were protests (even non-japanese people telling japanese people to stop cultural appropriation) to shit like this. It's a fucking shame that a basic concept of cultures (that they are fluid and that new ideas/whatever are taken/given during contact with other cultures. it's not some weird negative thing) is used to harm rather than celebrate an exhange of ideas and a broadening of horizions.

Imagine being so progressive that you think it's okay to hate a relatively benign religion by today's standards but will defend an inherently hostile, destructive religion without a second thought.
Seriously, what are these 'progressive' people smoking?
In my opinion the anti-fascists of today are already the fascists of today.
The ideological spectrum isn't a straight line. It's more like a circle. It's possible to be so 'progressive' that you wind up back on the other side of the spectrum you were trying so hard to get away from.
The polar opposite of a Hitler is still a Hitler in ideological warfare. That's something these progressive people can't comprehend.
I'm going to culturally appropriate the fuck out of anything I see. I'll wear a rice farmer hat while I slam down Jaritos after making some curry.
Why is it always whiny, upper class, educated, super privileged white kids who have to get offended for people who 9 times out of 10 aren't. I'll have to ask my half-Japanese half-Vietnamese girlfriend if it's okay for me to eat rice. Oh wait, I can, because it's just fucking food.

Cool. I don't fucking care.
They're complaining over stuff that doesn't matter and doesn't affect anyone. Instead of tackling real issues in American culture, such as the blatant disregard for the lives of Afro-American/Hispanic-Americans in urban environments, the rampant homelessness in Los Angeles/Chicago where these individuals are made to leave in order to allow businesses in, the discriminatory policies that LGBT individuals have to face when applying for school/jobs, the lack of support for lower class drug addicts due to America's broken healthcare system. These are real-deal issues that aren't some "starving african child" asspull, but are instead things that people are fighting [I]right now[/I], and these whiny shitdicks could join up.
But no. Some people making burritos happen to be white, and therefore, it is racist and the most important thing they need to be decrying and fighting.
