You should’ve read the whole thing. I was commenting on the google doc that’s caught poor @caze in such a tizzy. The white owned restaurants cited in the google doc are in direct competition with the POC owned restaurants of Portland.
And I repeat, the topic of this thread is about cultural appropriation. Racism is being raised as a mechanic within certain forms of cultural appropriation, and various hows and whys have been put forth as to how that all shakes out.
Pointing to a fucking dictionary and crying “look that’s not what it says” does not dispute the thesis of institutional/structural racism. You don’t like it being called racism? Fine, come up with another, more precise word to explain how whites have every advantage in the western world across all facets of society.
