The National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) slammed First Lady Jill Biden in a statement — telling her, “we are not tacos” — after Biden compared the Hispanic community’s diversity to “breakfast tacos.”
The First Lady claimed that the Hispanic community is “as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio” while speaking at Latinx IncluXion Luncheon on Monday.
“Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community – as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio – is your strength,” Biden said, speaking about UnidosUS founder Raul Yzaguirre.
NAHJ admonished Biden for her remarks in a statement issued hours after her speech.
“Using breakfast tacos to try to demonstrate the uniqueness of Latinos in San Antonio demonstrates a lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the diversity of Latinos in the region,” NAHJ said.
The statement also called out Biden’s speechwriters for not understanding “the complexities” of the local San Antonio Hispanic community.
“NAHJ encourages Dr. Biden and her speech writing team to take the time in the future to better understand the complexities of our people and communities.”
“We are not tacos,” NAHJ continued. “Our heritage as latinos is shaped by a variety of diasporas, cultures and food traditions, and should not be reduced to a stereotype.”
In addition, Biden butchered the pronunciation of “bodega,” which drew fire from many social media users.
“Once again, Dr. Jill Biden butchers the Spanish language in furtherance of pandering to a client constituency (the org FKA National Council of La Raza),” tweeted Media Resource Center director Jorge Bonilla. “I hereby bless your timelines with Dr. Jill’s rendering of ‘bodega.’”

What a stupid whore. Perfect match for POTUS “Slobbering Joe.” Nice going, America. The Klintons. O’Bummers. Bidens. You can sure pick ‘em.
Dear left wing Hispanics, the democrats don’t really think you are tacos. They think you are lawn guys.

If she was a man. For example, her husband or Beto. I would say,” baboso!”
But she is a woman and I am a gentleman so I won’t
and house cleaners
This is the same thing as Hillary carrying Hot Sauce in her purse everywhere she goes, its pandering to a minority group by woke liberals that would only know Hispanics based on one cutting their grass or picking their vegetables.
100 proof hot sauce
They didn't have tacos when I was a kid...and I only have them when I want to make a mess.
How are fine cigars and Chicago Landscaping crews alike?
The best ones come from Nicaragua.
What more would one expect of an education major. Bottom of the academic barrel, right down there with “studies” majors.
Who did they vote for?
First Ladies should not be making speeches, period. They are not elected nor do they have any power in the executive branch. Edith Wilson proved the point. Why the hell are they receiving any federal money for support personnel
(Press secretary, COS, etc). It’s time to cut government spending. Start with the WH.
Agree!
Jill is typical of all Liberals who think of EVERYTHING in a very infantile,
flat, one dimensional perspective.
NO Liberal is well read, well spoken or intelligent. In my lifetime of looking at politics and listenting to politicians, it is an invariable fact.
She’s as blonde as a flan.
Hey, Jill, are they hard tacos or soft tacos? Wink, wink.
Just as a human I find this insulting. Good thing she has never been asked to define Women.
