    I'm so confused, like were there not always street vendors or is it just that it's fruit, do they just hate tajin, seriously wtf does this mean

      If I had to guess it's likely some racist brainworms relating fruit street vendors with Latin American countries, unlike the checks notes all other non-ethnic street vendors like hot dogs or halal carts.

      Probably some transplant pretending to a concerned New Yorker. Fruit stands have always been a thing in NYC and almost always belong to people of color.

        Moves to one of the few cultured, decent spots in Amerikkka

        "Yo WTF!? Where's the tater tots! I DEMAND A RIGHT TO IGNORANCE!"

        Ma'am, if you're wealthy enough to move to NYC and hate its superior culture, please move back to the boonies and let someone who actually wants to flee the boonies have a chance at living there.

    She should be in favor of this. Literally the only argument against the stalls is that the owners don’t have the right permits, but conservatives fucking hate bureaucracy. What happened to the small business owner love?

            Ma'am the current mayor of NYC is a fascist cop.

              There's two types of New York politicians: Republicans and Republicans smart enough to call themselves Democrats.

            Conservatives oscillate hard between claiming the things they hate are minor annoyances or the complete end of all civilization

            Yeah ok lady you're not afraid of the fruit stalls. Then what, you think it's fine they're doing great replacement by selling apples covered in tajin?

            Lol, does she remember "keep NYC trash free?" dipshits like her should stop ruining the few halfway decent places in the country.

            Tell her this, she can move to bumfuck nowhere Ohio where I'm stuck right now, and I get the privilege of living in NYC. Deal?

            Conservative women are some of the most cringe types out there, real moms for liberty type losers who think George Soros is following them home from seeing the sound of freedom.

    Any street food that doesn’t make me either constipated or shit myself is deeply un-Amerikkkan and an attack on our culture alex-oopsie

      I've never really seen any white street food except the ice cream trucks. The only food carts I've seen are Mexican - typically elote carts.

      The most polite neighborhood I've lived in has been mostly hispanic as well.

    i've been to one specific minor city in mexico before, and when i saw the street fruit vendors, my only thought was "unlike america, this is actually an urban area for human beings"

      I miss living a place with the fruit cart (Tajin plz), the ice cream truck, and the elote cart. Random grandmas selling tamales out of a stroller.

        There's a place near my old house that was an elote cart, but they did so well they built a permanent building on the lot and they're not a cart any more. I'm happy for them but also the food got worse after it stopped being a cart.

    Standing right there, turn until you see a pile of trash bags and take a picture of that instead. There's your legitimate gripe with Manhattan.

      Racism really does eat away at and replace logic to some people to the point it looks like this. Crime stats are no way of telling what language a fruit vendor speaks. A child could tell you that. The pattern seeking part of their brain has just been replaced by racist platitudes.

    I remember once walking through a Midwestern city eating a bell pepper like an apple. I got some honest glares from strangers.

    I would love some fruit card around town. I would buy fruit from them and eat those fruit. Fruit is good. It's nature's candy
