Hipster or Mexican? Yelpers can tell the difference, like that!

Some of us grind away, blogging haphazardly for years, with not much more than a few new imaginary friends to show for it. Other folks have one good idea that blows up like a rearended Pinto, and becomes a lucrative book deal or costly lawsuit in a matter of weeks. (See TIWYF.) Happy to see the latest of these, The Yelp Elite. The Cod is on the record as thinking the site's owners thuggish and users dimwitted, so it's nice to see someone focused on sharing Yelp gems with the rest of us, The Yelp Elite. Seriously, you can't make this shit up:

There are indeed hipsters behind the counter. LOTS OF HIPSTERS. No Mexicans. Just in case you weren’t sure, hipsters do not EQUAL or substitute IN LIEU OF ACTUAL REAL LIVE MEXICANS.

This gem hits a bunch of chords for the Cod. Authenticity and culinary nationalism both come up around here on the reg. More recently, we've tried to get to the bottom of the internet anti-hipster fatwa. But, unfortunately, I am pretty sure that the hipster or Mexican binary is maybe a little teensy weensy bit racist. Let's ask Esquivel which one he is. And play us off, won't you?

I have found myself having to dance delicately around friends who like and interact with Yelp -- they are on par, all at least ten years younger than I am -- as not to offend what they find valuable.

However, I am glad someone has set up this tumblr since I was too lazy to do it myself after my last anti-Yelp outburst, brought on by a reviewer who was upset about the lack of vegan options at a Philly cheesesteak shop in the Valley.

At the same time, some long-standing breaks have exploded in value, such as the deduction for mortgage interest and the tax-free treatment of health-insurance premiums paid by employers.
