Are Mexicans offended when we eat tacos, burritos, enchiladas and drink Corona & Dos Equis for Cinco De Mayo celebrations?

You're damn right we get offended.

Yup, I get offended when they do that too.

It's not even about that. Just because you don't find something offensive doesn't mean that someone shouldn't find it offensive.

When I'm around my friends, I might throw a couple of F bombs but if I offend someone, I'm going to stop.

The bottom line is that some parents found this offensive and the school apologized.

They did the right thing.

No I don't and I honestly don't mind if people eat tacos on that day. It doesn't offend me. Frankly, it takes a lot to offend me.

Damn Massachusetts private school racists.

It is an associated stereotype IMO that is overblown. Now if they had served Chitterlings and rice...collard greens and grape soda? All hell would break out.

Loved the purple stuff too growing up. MMMMMMM... MMMMMM.....

Radar O'Reilly would like to have a word with anyone who stereotypes Grape Nehi!! :)

And I ALWAYS put peanuts in my Barq's root beer if I have a glass bottle of it ALWAYS!! To do otherwise, shall incur the wrath of KHAN!

Well, you're black.


May I suggest government cheese and bread as a traditional black meal? That won't offend anyone.

I believe Rye or Pumpernickel would be appropriate.

Since we are on the subject, what would be considered a traditional "white" meal?
