Republicans getting big mad about ‘white guy tacos’ lol.
My wife and I fairly regularly have ‘midwest burritos’, which is some basic taco beef, sour cream, fresh tomato, cheese and onion in a burrito. It’s simple, and great. These guys can fuck off.
I like white people tacos a few times a year, but we should all be clear that they aren’t actually Mexican food in the same way Taco Bell isn’t Mexican food (they’re way better than Taco Bell though). At best they’re entry level Tex-Mex.
Proper Mexican tacos are a soft taco sized tortilla, your protein, and your choice of onions, cilantro, and salsa - some of the salsas are salsas con crema. Sometimes you’ll have some other chopped veggies available.
Yes! I hated most veggies growing up and still hate them the way my parents made them, but I love 90% of the veggies my wife makes, my favorite being her broccoli or broccolini which is what I hate most the way my parents make it.
She likes to tease me that I married a Latina to get properly seasoned food.
Spaghetti with Ragu sauce, hot dogs, burgers on the grill occasionally, meatloaf, steak and potatoes occasionally, and this chicken in crescent rolls thing that was great actually.
Lots of frozen TV dinners too.
When you look over that menu and then consider that breakfast as a kid was a sugar-filled cereal probably 28 days a month and french toast or pancakes the other two, it’s not a pretty picture health-wise.
Imagine going back in a time machine to a couple days before Biden dropped out and letting everyone here know that our ticket was going to be so upgraded that our POTUS would be teasing our VPOTUS over taco seasoning, while leading in most swing states and 90% of national polls, with Tester and Brown leading in their races… Leading to us having a derail about tacos and vegetable preparation methods and veggie breeding to reduce bitterness.
Meanwhile Trump’s VP has been out there talking about females breeding to be worthwhile to society and the sole purpose of old ladies being supplemental daycare robots for their grandkids.
Growing up in small town Iowa, Mexican food was Old El Paso. Chinese was La Choy.
But we had garden fresh vegetables in the summer that were delicious. People who only get veggies from a grocery store don’t know what they’re missing.
It’s wild that in the year of our lord 2024, right wingers still don’t understand why it’s okay for ~anyone to make a joke about a white guy putting tuna and mayo on a taco and not okay for a white person to make a fried chicken and watermelon joke. They simply cannot wrap their head around why that “double standard” not only exists but is correct to exist.
If they could wrap their head around it they’d still be against it, but their arguments would be different.
These are the same people that not only say “slavery ended a long time ago, get over it”, but the people that fought (and fight) to preserve its vestiges during Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Redlining, employment discrimination (employer rights), and all the rest.
