    Portland beer bar and bottle shop N.W.I.P.A. announced that it is changing its name to North West IPA. The name change comes after Black Portlander posted a Tiktok video that voiced concern about the name.

    • can we start a go fund me for billionaire dr Dre? will the oppression never end?_niko
    • the only thing they're guilty of is bad font choices_niko
    • “... I am committed to doing better“ totally not a cultGnash
    • lol, because it has the letters NWA. Holy fuck people are so goddamn stupidmonospaced
    • I sorta understand, but I don’t really see the big issue with cultural appropriation. I don’t really think it’s a bad thing. Explain?monospaced
    • Shouldn’t we also look critically at the idea that some black people have an issue with white people liking their music? That’s just as fucked up.monospaced
    • Acting like white people cannot enjoy and celebrate gangsta rap is pretty exclusive too. Just sayin.monospaced
    • rap appropriated the japanese 808 drum machine! I'm furious!inteliboy
    • oh yeah, also the Japanese technics sl. 1200 turntables lol_niko
    • and RUN DMC appropriated German sneakers and Cool J stole Australian goofy hats. outraged!_niko
    • hah, the business is registered as NWIPA, so you can assume that N-word was implied before. Appropriation, meh? Stupid yehkingsteven
    • To be fair, NWIPA is the legit acronym for his company and has nothing to do with the n word.monospaced
    • but when their logo is the NWA logo and there's no mention of 'North West' before? (i assume, from a quick google search) cringe at best.kingsteven
