This scene is from a Chipotle paper sack and it is racist. I was told it was a monk. A monk? With a cowl and a pointed cap? No, I said I'd put it to the internet and let them be the judge.

Hint: it's racist.

All dem Catholics be racist

There have been lots of people to wear that style of pointed hat. A KKK uniform would cover the face, which this doesn't.

nah, where is the face covering, and the traditional KKK garb is not in 2 pieces

I believe that you are correct in believing that it MIGHT be an image of a klansman. There are many other people groups depicted in that image as well. As evil and vile as the klan is, the act of depicting them in an image, in itself, is not racist.

What are all those other figures of around that person with the cap? Is that a middle ages scene?

I would say not racist. Ever see Holy Week processions in Spain? They've been going on for a lot longer than the KKK has been around.

Well, not a monk - but a local sexton or whatever a la middle ages. Seriously - look at any Where's Waldo book with a scene set in the middle ages, and you'll probably find like eight of these guys.

CounterTorqueSteer > McMike

I think it is kind of an everything scene. There is everything from Spanish nobleman to Aztek tribe members being shown.

ACTUALLY, that looks like a Capirote.

This is backed up by the fact that there are quite a few other Medieval/Renaissance Spanish garbed people in that picture.

yeah... it's not racist. There isn't a face covering, and a pointed hat by itself doesn't mean klan.

*edit* it looks like that guy is giving dual middle fingers.

Sorry, Aces, I'm not buying it. Look at all the other Spanish Medieval/Renaissance-looking figures in the picture. Seriously, what could Chipotle possibly have to gain by putting a KKK guy on their bag? How many KKK'ers would eat at a restaurant with a furrin name they can't pronounce? Monk of sorts + executioner = Inquisition, and you could make a pretty strong case for just how bad it is to remember that horrible era of history.

As a committed Catholic and non-racist, you have seriously caused me to doubt the non-racist image of my church.

I think the Aztecs will appreciate that their name was updated and South Afrikaanized by Pontiac and then made famous by Breaking Bad.

It was a cold shot one day when I learned that many Greek letters have no relation whatever to similar-looking Roman letters so of course Sigma sounds nor looks anything like E and now I can't look at your handle and think of anything but Sigmalectronic.

But I'm trying.

The only outrage I find resulting from trips to Chipotle is what happens in the bathroom a few hours after I scarf down an over-stuffed burrito. Oh, and that they charge for guacamole.

ACESandEIGHTS > nermal
12/16/2014 at 14:38

You went here, and I got grief for my my post.

Their guacamole is delicious and made from these crazy fruits called avocados that they actually have right there in the store, so this argument is invalid as even Taco Bell charges for their caulk-gun guac and that's more akin to play-doh than Chipotle's genuine article.

You should really check your pervilege regarding use of the term "rapier". It's bad enough to perpetuate the rapey culture, but you're engendering an even rapier one.

ACESandEIGHTS > samssun
12/16/2014 at 21:18

You're the one who's espousing the rapey vibe if anyone's being rapey at all.

I wonder if a European in his travels ever met an Arab or Asian who laughed at his silly little epee or rapier and proceeded to attack him with a much more substantial sword.
