The way Leno related the story, the Intern might have been talking tongue in cheek.

Leno: I really don't like Mexican.
Intern: Whoa, that is kind of racist.

Leno left the 'food' part out after Mexican - so I could see the Intern needling him.

Of course it is racist.

Racism is the act of disagreeing with any liberal about any topic.

Leno doesn't like Mexican food. That is disagreement. Presumably the student is a liberal.

Thusly, racism.

Remember when some morons had a cow when a city official used the term “niggardly”? People are becoming stupider and stupider. And yes, I meant to say that.

I am not “Mexican” but I sure like so called Mexican food, that is the better ones.

El Pollo Loco is one, Rubio’s is one. I suppose Chipotle, in some peoples’ minds Mexican, is another.

I’ve had Mexican food in Texas, and in Arizona, but I like those above better.

And yes, I know that all of this is not “authentic” Mexican food, which would be found in Mexico itself.

For the record, my favorites go thusly: Italian women, German cars, Mexican food and Irish music.

I don't know why they are upset with Leno. He even drives an electric car

Dog food smells like dogs which smell like dog poo.
Mexican food smells like...

George Orwell writes that the word “fascist” was misused the same way about 70 years ago.
“My fascist landlord won’t return my security deposit.”
