Cultural Appropriation

There's a place up in Portland called Kook's Burritos. Public pressure has prompted them to close because in a featured article, they admitted the recipe for their tortillas was essentially purloined from natives of the city of Puerto Nuevo in Mexico, est. pop; of 135 in 2010.

While I'm naturally sympathetic to the idea of minority ethnic cultures somehow being assimilated,  I have to categorize this particular protest as a result of the professionally indignant, and leave it at that.
