If white people move into an area, it's gentrification; if they move out, it's white flight; if they remain, it's keeping the neighborhood white.

which opened last week serving coffee from Heart Roasters of Portland, Ore., and pastries from Homeboy Industries, which provides training and support to former gang members or previously incarcerated people.

Why do you care?




That's not me dismissing any potential racism or implying that the event being talked about is acceptable. I'm asking you personally, why do you care about all of these events so badly as to being them up all the time?

Also wait, Peanut Butter Chicken? This sounds like something I need to try out one day!

Peanut butter chicken is pretty great

I work in Boyle Heights, not far from that coffee shop. Well, when I'm not on summer break, anyway.

I make fun of Boyle Heights a lot because it's been known to be a crappy neighborhood in LA for decades and now they're being very resistant to change for the better. That said, this isn't about race necessarily, it's about hipsters. They've been protesting art galleries for years, a hip coffee shop isn't that much different in terms of who it serves. Also, two of the owners of that coffee shop are white, and one is Hispanic. Boyle Heights is predominately Hispanic.

All that said, again, it's not really about race, it's about the costs rising in the neighborhood as artists and others move in and see it as a trendy place. It just so happens that some of those people are white, but I've seen articles about them complaining about Hispanics that are moving in too and driving costs up.

Trust me, I like to talk shit about Boyle Heights too, but the way you're presenting this isn't quite right.

Because the term "cuck" loses more and more of its original meaning by the months.

anyone who uses the word "cuck" non-ironically can't be taken seriously tbqh.

"I may be white but I am just as shocked, saddened, and disgusted by systemic racism as all you Mexicans are! I hope we can all come together in our common belief that affordable housing in this community is a noble goal, and that as a society, we need to do more to make the American dream achievable for everyone of all colors and socioeconomic backgrounds

also, "the left" is leaving the guy alone.

certain individuals on the left, maybe not.

Aside from orange chicken, that list is missing lemon chicken and cashew chicken. One buffet I went to also had strawberry chicken as their orange chicken variant, and it was also good.
---

i had mango chicken recently, it was pretty good

General Tso's Chicken if it's soggy

oh god

I'd probably put good General Tso's on top, even above curry, but if a place gives you soggy Tso's, never go there again.
