An Arizona woman went on an unhinged rant against a taco restaurant because it is owned by two white brothers.
Lily Kaplan torched Poolboy Taco in Phoenix after sampling the Mexican eatery's nachos and soft tacos.
She shared a blistering review with her 21,000 TikTok followers earlier this month slamming the quality of the food and taking aim at owners Jared and Aaron Pool.
'I'm just over white restaurant culture here in the Valley,' Kaplan, who is white, said.
'White culture in the US is giving racism, misogyny, and pedophilia these days. And it is such a bummer seeing another duo, white men, brothers, opening a really, really mediocre restaurant.'
Kaplan took offense to the fine print of the colorful menu, which mentions the restaurant is '100 percent seed oil free.'
'The seed oil mention is very MAGA,' she said.
Kaplan admitted that her review was going to be 'unfriendly' before she even set foot in the store as she railed against its white owners.
Lily Kaplan, of Arizona slated Poolboy Taco in Phoenix in a review over its 'white culture'
Poolboy is owned by brothers Jared and Aaron Pool. 'It is such a bummer seeing another duo, white men, brothers, opening a really, really mediocre restaurant,' Kaplan said
Her review featured a picture of one of the Pool brothers sitting outside his restaurant with his two children. He was dressed in black skinny jeans, a tie-dye shirt and a gray snapback hat.
'This photo is giving wannabe Brooklyn edgy, but it's just giving your kids hate you, and you hate the person taking the photo,' Kaplan said.
She noted that Poolboy 'overall represents the state of America' at the moment.
'It's white men doing things that aren't that great or remarkable, just because they're the only ones with the capital to do it, because of the centuries of the patriarchy and racism,' she said in the video.
She also slammed the liquid cheese sauce on her $8 nachos, which were loaded up with guacamole, pickled red onions, pico de gallo and slaw.
'These nachos were apparently a staff favorite, which is such BS,' she said. 'It's nacho sauce, which is never going to do it for me.
She also ordered five soft tacos, which range from $3 to $5.50.
'Not a ton of flavor,' she remarked. 'It's fine. Again, pretty flavorless, I'm not gonna lie. Very, very, very basic.'

Poolboy is a play on the owner's surnames and named after their award-winning taco.
Aaron disputed Kaplan's claims that they are flush with cash, telling The Arizona Republic: 'It's not that I have a lot of money. I have debt from operating through the pandemic.'
He also told the outlet he didn't know why Kaplan would even visit if she already knew she wasn't going to like the food.
The brothers also own Gadzooks Enchiladas, which Kaplan said in the video she also didn't like.
'I've been building this brand for six years,' Aaron told the outlet.
'This is me. We have never taken ourselves seriously and said that we are authentically a taqueria.
'It's all of the life experiences I have gone through put together. It's just a better version of Taco Bell.'
Kaplan told The Republic that her video was not about cultural appropriation.

'I just had the vibe that they don't represent diversity,' Kaplan said when questioned about her dislike for Poolboy
'White people should be able to make tacos. It's an American food,' she said.
'I just had the vibe that they don't represent diversity. I understand that it's a wild thing to say in a food review. If they are not aligned with Trump and pedophilia, then we should talk about it. I don't know, and I don't really care.'
She also said she did not choose the place to specifically make a political comment, telling The Republic: 'There's really no thought behind it.
'They have the right to be white, they have the right to own a taco shop, they have the right to be Trump supporters. They could have reached out to me to disagree with me, but they didn't.'
It is unknown what political party the Pool brothers align with.
Since posting the video on June 1, Kaplan's video has amassed three million views.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Kaplan and Poolboy for comment.
