Thank you. That’s why I can’t stand Rick Bayless. A white dude who has made a whole career cooking and specializing in Mexican food. People try to say so a white chef can’t make Mexican food and research and study it? It’s slippery because a man can love and appreciate a culture all he wants. But the way HE comes off and how money hungry he’s been with his business, you can’t NOT see it as appropriation. 

Pues, a ver aquí. Yo soy un estudiante de “Senior” de la escuela. Desde ser un “Freshman” ha estado estudiando la lengua y más recentemente la cultura de los países españoles (incluso sobre todo España y México.) Me interesa mucho la lengua, en no parte pequeño porque me viene fácilmente jeje, y quiero avanzar con estudiar este tema en la universidad; de hecho, quiero un título menor junto con mi título de las ciencias políticas. Ahora mismo, yo quiero abrir un negocio de la ley, de ser abogado, tal vez en un lugar donde puedo utilizar mi español. Pero, si elegiese abrir un ristorante, o trabajar en la cocina, no tengo el derecho? 
 

O, de corto, es especificamente ese hombre que no te gusta?

 

Spoiler

Translation: me asking if I could open a Mexican restaurant or work in one as a chef; clarifying whether it’s a general state that or whether this particular chef just bothers OP

I've eaten this and love it. 

Although I want to know why it's called a Pineapple Bun if there is no pineapple. 

I have NO idea so don't quote me on this, this is just my guess, but maybe because it looks like a pineapple on the outside? Like the inside where it's all yellow and stuff. 

Almost like how this is called a Krabby Patty even though it's clearly not :poot:

Yo hablo y leo en español amigo. Gracias por traducir. 
 

Sory for the shitty autocorrect with the first part. It’s hard to write in Spanish on a iPhone correcting every single thing when it’s not english lol.
 

He’s been called out for cultural appropriation and his arguments and defense cause him to dig himself into a bigger hole. i think you’d have to see his stuff to see it. But it def comes off as someone appropriating. 
 

he can def love and appreciate Mexican culture, but how he does and his actions behind the scenes it is where I have a problem.

The way I took four years of Spanish in HS and only know how to ask someone "Why did you crap in my milk?" :fatcat:

What I do find problematic is the fact that Mexican food in general is increasingly being capitalized on by non-Hispanics - it can be a little bit weird to find out when a Mexican restaurant or product is not actually owned by Mexicans

That’s something I never thought of but that’s a really good point, and I completely see how that could be problematic.

Ya sé, no fue para ti, jeje. Las reglas del sítio se dicen que todos los puestos tienen que ser escrito en íngles. Yo lo había puesto en íngles para los moderatores; si es en íngles, es más facíl chequear. Ádemas, la mayoragia (?, no sé:fatcat:) de cuentas aquí hablan íngles.

 

Pero mi español, cómo es? :selena: I will not be accepting criticism of my accent placement:huntyga:

Corporations will always give in to the symbolism. I prefer systematic change rather than having some non-offensive title on food be banned

Lol omg my spanish came off sarcastic now that I’m rereading it. Hopefully you didn’t take it like that cause. This is why I hate reading things from the net. 
 

anyways I don’t even mess with the accent placements. I never get it right. I learned french and even I **** those up BADDDD
