That might be the stupidest comment I've encountered this week. You think my analogy which compared the city defending its thoroughfares against food truck blockages with a body's immune system defending its blood vessels is.... racist? You think white blood cells are racist blood cells?

Calling food trucks "parasites", rather than a more data-driven, less passionate, and more economically aware comment is not moving the average quality of commentary on the site in the right direction, if I may say so.
