1 day ago'Whitexicans' restaurant raises eyebrows in Queens. The owner says the name is satire.
Others said they were offended. But the restaurant, whose name is a mashup of white and Mexicans, is real, and opened earlier this month on Northern Boulevard in the heart of Jackson Heights. Cristina Furlong, a longtime neighborhood resident and member of Community Board 3, wished the restaurant well on Facebook but urged the owners to change the name, given heightened immigration enforcement and "people self-deporting."
