So if social media is to be believed the special snowflakes of Portland were outraged by the cultural appropriation of these ladies and led to backlash.

QuoteKooks Serves Pop-Up Breakfast Burritos With Handmade Tortillas Out of a Food Cart on Cesar Chavez
Update: Kooks has closed.
By Walker MacMurdo | Published May 16
During an impromptu Christmastime road trip last year to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, Kali Wilgus and Liz "LC" Connelly lost their minds over tortillas.
"In Puerto Nuevo, you can eat $5 lobster on the beach, which they give you with this bucket of tortillas," Connelly says. "They are handmade flour tortillas that are stretchy and a little buttery, and best of all, unlimited."
Connelly and Wilgus were so enamored with the tortillas, they tried to uncover the recipe.
"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," Connelly says. "They told us the basic ingredients, and we saw them moving and stretching the dough similar to how pizza makers do before rolling it out with rolling pins. 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."
Connelly and Wilgus have turned their passion into new weekend spot Kooks Burritos, which has a concept that fits twee Portland: a breakfast burrito pop-up inside the hip Tight Tacos food cart in a Southeast Portland parking lot.
"On the drive back up to Oregon, we were still completely drooling over how good [the tortillas] were, and we decided we had to have something similar in Portland," Connelly says. "The day after we returned, I hit the Mexican market and bought ingredients and started testing it out. Every day I started making tortillas before and after work, trying to figure out the process, timing, refrigeration and how all of that works."
Well, she figured it out.
Connelly rolls out the tortillas in front of you and cooks them on the cart's flat-top griddle, bubbles forming through the uneven circle as the gentle smell of frying dough wafts from the cart. That tortilla is stretchy, pie-crust flaky, char-kissed and stuffed with fixins authentic only to SoCal burrito joints: french fries, scrambled eggs, guacamole, cheese and your choice of bacon or carne asada.
The result is as decadent as it sounds, the flake of the tortilla and soft crunch from the fries contrasting with the gooey goodness of the eggs, cheese and guac in a hangover-killing burrito. Served with Wilgus' neon-green serrano salsa and neon-orange chile de árbol salsa, both spicy and bright, breakfast doubles as a 'grammable burrainbow.
"The second we had the tortilla, we were like, 'We're doing this,'" Connelly says.
Get up a little early this weekend, and you can do it, too.

Good for Portland. Cultural appropriation is evil.

Right. Unfortunately yelling racist shit is not uncommon enough for people to think that the person doing it is a dangerous felon. That is a pretty specific situation.

No win situation. You intervene, you get stabbed. You don't do anything, you empower to the douchebag. You call the cops, they laugh at you for calling them on this non-issue.

Not sure "empowers" is the word that describes what I meant. He would walk away thinking, "Well, that was all right, and no one interfered, so they tacitly agreed." Or at a minimum not noticing that this is not socially acceptable behavior.

Apparently the county's GOP chairman is floating the idea of getting militias to act as security forces for Republican public events. :wacko:

QuotePortland Republican says party should use militia groups after racial attack
County GOP chair James Buchal says security forces may be appropriate as tensions rise after two people died in a racial attack on public transport
(...)
Multnomah County GOP chair James Buchal, however, told the Guardian that recent street protests had prompted Portland Republicans to consider alternatives to "abandoning the public square".
"I am sort of evolving to the point where I think that it is appropriate for Republicans to continue to go out there," he said. "And if they need to have a security force protecting them, that's an appropriate thing too."
Asked if this meant Republicans making their own security arrangements rather than relying on city or state police, Buchal said: "Yeah. And there are these people arising, like the Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters."
Asked if he was considering such groups as security providers, Buchal said: "Yeah. We're thinking about that. Because there are now belligerent, unstable people who are convinced that Republicans are like Nazis."
The Oath Keepers are described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "one of the largest radical antigovernment groups in the US", recruiting current and former military and law enforcement personnel. They have recently appeared at rallies from Berkeley to Boston, standing with activists from the far right, activists holding what were once fringe positions who have recently risen to national prominence.
The Three Percenters are described by Political Research Associates as "a paramilitary group that pledges armed resistance against attempts to restrict private gun ownership". They were a highly visible presence in Burns, Oregon, before and during the occupation of the Malheur wildlife refuge by rightwing militia early in 2016.
And nothing dispels accusations of being nazis than employing a private paramilitary force for security!
