@wcp Don’t change the name.

@wcp are you gonna bait people to scream white privilege and appropriation? Cos that’s gonna be weak af. Why not also tweet about businesses that use English word but none of them are one nor speak it?

@wcp Honestly I didn't see anything bothersome about it. It's not some sacred word here I suppose. This is just cancel culture taken to the extreme

@wcp Man...these Fil-Am Karens...

@wcp Shouldn't really be a big deal. Why are those Fil-Ams so territorial and possessive about the word? In no other country would this (non-Pinoys naming their resto/bar "barkada" ) be an issue..only in the US.

@wcp The real Vikings should be angry at us.

@wcp What the f--k is the problem? Cultural appropriation? It's more like cultural appreciation to me. Shame on those who see it otherwise. To the owners, please don't change. Maybe just add some Filipino dishes to your menu. Check out our #Sisig #Kinilaw (Ceviche), #Chicharon . 😊

@wcp There’s nothing wrong with them wanting to use it TBH. Filams need to move on.

@wcp OA... while in the Philippines a lot of business names are Foreign names what a clownery 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡💩💩💩💩

@wcp Keep the name.

@wcp lmao the Filipinos are okay with other people using our words for their restaurants, whether or not they're Filipino cuisine. Y'know, it's like how people use French words to make things fancy. THE HILARIOUS THING IS BARKADA IS SUCH A CASUAL WORD IT'S NOT FANCY AT ALL HAHAHA

@wcp OMG. This is not a big deal at all. Go on with the Barkada name if you still want to. 💯

@wcp The four owners are Barkadas (magbabarkada) and barkadas loves to hang out at bars so the name is just appropriate even if nothing filipino is in there except the word Barkada

@wcp Nat'l Ass. of Fil-Am Conservatives (NAFAC): “The word Barkada is a Spanish word for Barcada—Filipinos adapted to mean "group of friends hanging around instead of being productive" [Lexico]. Today, it means more than that—We appreciate the cultural appreciation of our language.

@wcp So what if they used that name? Try visiting the Philippines. You’d be surprised to see most uses foreign names or words in their business name. They should keep the name.

@wcp Real pinoys should be proud, its the half-pinoys that were offended by the "appropriation". They lived in murica for so long, they have taken the causcasian habit of getting offended easily. I hope the caucasians treat them as equals too, for their sake.

@wcp Just keep the name! All (100% Race) Filipino community will love it.

@wcp I’m Filipino and I do not see anything wrong with using Barkada in their business name. I think it is flattering. The people who complained are effing nutjobs.

@wcp I am absolutely fine with them using the common and beloved word that we have, “Barkada”. I don’t see anything wrong with that at all. However, it would be better if they add a Filipino drink to their product list to pay respect to our culture 😊

@wcp Not a big deal at all. Heck, Filipinos use an entire language foreign to us just to have a shot at life. There.
