Maybe it's just the Chicagoan in me but when I hear "The wrong kind of people were going to move into the neighborhood but we put a stop to that!" I do not think "Sweet! Let us eat traditional food and play traditional music to celebrate this victory for justice."
- amyjess 12y agoYes, I've noticed there's a distinct racist element to the anti-gentrification movement. Hell, look at how the article treats ethnic segregation as something that should be celebrated. Disgusting.
- judk 12y agoYes minority cultures have no place in America. Cheesecake Factory and McDonalds is our Melting Pot
- roneesh 12y agoThere's a chain restaurant called The Melting Pot, so I'd say that's our melting pot.
- kzhahou 12y agoThey serve a delicious false dichotomy pie at the cheesecake factory.

- oldmanjay 12y agoI bet you think you can solve racism by being racist. Am I right? You can tell me. I'm very accepting.
- klipt 12y agoI doubt any of the hipsters moving into the Mission would patronize a Cheesecake Factory or a McDonalds.
- pnathan 12y agoI believe the traditional term for this kind of behavior is redlining.
