They could have been brought over by Koreans except for the fact that they don't have burritos in Korea. 

They are a product of the interaction between the large Korean and Hispanic populations in LA. A wonderful example of cultures fusing.

Kind of like Chicken Tikka Massala which funnily enough comes from London.

What I meant was that Korean-Americans helped create them.

I remember someone saying that people shouldn't eat Vietnamese food because it's trendy and exotic. My response was that around here (Greater Seattle), Vietnamese isn't exotic, it's just tasty food. Last summer, when I interned at my high school, I had Vietnamese food for lunch nearly every day. Why? Because I like Vietnamese, and the restaurant I found had free WiFi.

If you want to encourage a woman to take self-defense classes to stop her from getting raped, I just have one word: don't.  The pressure should be on men to stop raping, not on women to stop getting raped.

I hate victim blaming just as much as anyone else, but this is ridiculous.  If somebody advises me to take self-defense classes to avoid getting mugged, are they saying that the mugging would be my fault?

(To quoted person) Pretty sure the problem lies in how we focus on what the victim should have done to prevent it rather than the people committing it.
Telling someone you know on what to do to avoid rapists (be with a group and stay in contact with them, avoid drinking to much, if you feel woozy have your friends drive you home, ect. ect.

The only instance where I can see "taking" food from another culture being a genuine issue is when a staple food for the poor in one region suddenly becomes a fad in richer areas, thus driving up the costs and limiting access in the area where it originated. Though again, that's an issue owing to external factors (namely larger businesses absorbing most of the profits, with limited compensation for the people who relied on those foods prior to the rise in popularity) and not really a case of "appropriation".

Even for a troll that's not okay.

Hey, there's that Tumblr antisemitism I was talking about earlier.

[Jewish privilege] Is denying the racism, ableism, and heterosexism of referring to the holocaust as “a Jewish tragedy” because “we suffered most”. Remember that POC, the differently abled as well as non-neurotypical, queers and the Romani people were all interned at the camps. only acknowledging the white, able bodied, straight victims is a rally shitty thing to do.

Goddammit Tumblr.

I would actually bet money this was written by an American.

6 million dead privilege.

Anyone who uses "people of colour" in an unironic manner is almost certainly American.

I've come across a number of clueless, sheltered Canadian teenagers (on the internet, anyway) who have started using it, completely oblivious to the fact that they're likely to piss someone off if they try to use it in real life.

Ah, but "colour" would tip us off to the ruse of a Britfag pretending to be American saying it unironically, ironically.

Or a Canadian actually saying it unironically.

"Britfag" should be the new demonym for Canadians.

I found a rather odd response on a particular Tumblr to asking her of her ethnicity:

i’ve had white privilege almost my entire life, so i feel uncomfortable associating myself with any sort of ethnicity other than “white”.

So.....you're white? Or are you not white, but you just call yourself that because of privilege? You look pretty Caucasian and I think you're from the Midwest.

Also, she's apparently triggered by jeans because they highlight her thighs too much. I'm deeply concerned for someone who actually suffers from some kind of post-traumatic stress over their thighs being made more prominent by their clothing.
