Rightly or wrongly, there are people here in the US that make it a hobby to become offended and make a big deal of how offensive it is. Obviously it would do everyone some good to use discernment with their actions, but everyone should also not try to look for how you can spin something that was probably tongue in cheek into something offensive. Is bodega a great idea? Probably not, but I don't know what the entire offering was, maybe the idea got funded because they were interested in a specific part of the whole idea. I would like to see people in the US realize that someone is going to do something they don't like and there is an option to ignore the behavior.
