They’re trying to cleanse the neighborhood of “toxic masculinity” …
New residents in Austin, Texas are on a crusade to shut down a long-standing car meet held since the early 1990s in what locals call “Chicano Park.” The new move-ins at a luxury apartment complex across the street called The Weaver have decided the black and Latino car enthusiasts don’t fit in with their vision of how the neighborhood should be. The lowriders, muscle cars, classics, trucks, donks, etc. playing Texas hip-hop and Tejano tunes while screeching tires, flashing elaborate paint jobs and sparkling chrome, etc. is simply too offensive for the sensitive tastes of the newcomers. Plus, the gatherings have been termed as a manifestation of “toxic masculinity” which we all know must be eradicated with extreme prejudice.
These new Austin residents should see what street shutdowns are here and then decide if these meets are really that bad.
One woman claimed the tire smoke from the events was killing trees in the area. She also threw out that the increased traffic would block an ambulance from getting to her – maybe because she knows being so tightly wound will lead to a heart attack sooner or later?
Residents have remarked the gatherings are “scary.” They even have hired a private guard to be stationed at the apartment complex during car meets.
Videos on YouTube of the car meets at Chicano Park in Austin stretch back several years. They portray an eclectic group of enthusiasts and cars, with just about every make and decade represented. Plenty of elaborate modifications abound, delighting the crowd. Friends and families gather to socialize while watching the vehicles cruise around the park. Children break open pinatas and people grill meat. Nothing in the videos seems to be genuinely disturbing.
