You're such an elitist. If this was the 19th (or even early 20th) century, you would be the kind of person who would advocate separation of blacks and whites to protect blacks. Apartheid in South Africa was born of the idea that blacks were inferior, originally the "noble savage" and had to be protected by the white man. In the 21st century, everyone is equal. So even if they're not "rich white guys" they deserve to have the same rights. And if they want to exercise their freedom and buy fast food, that's their god-given right! The government has no right to outlaw a business that is evidently very successful and has many customers. Do you wonder why these fast food joints make so much money? Because people want to eat that food! And although you, a "rich white guy" elitist, may think that to undignified or even harmful, that's their right! You don't have to hijack their freedom just to protect the poor, stupid "noble savages" in south-central LA from their own desires, you pathetic nanny-statist.
