This woman is certifiable. Nothing racist about "authentic" food and I only care that the restaurant is using legal help that washes their hands and know something about American standards of hygiene. My tacos are tacos and definitely not a political statement.

No, my political statement is to skip anything Mexican on May 5th.

I am of Mexican Ancestry and I speak Spanish. I enjoy when St. Patty’s Day comes around I enjoy making my Corn Beef, Potatoes, and Cabbage.

So now what am I suppose to do for that day?

Rot in Hell you Liberal Political Numbskulls. I am going to have my Corn Beef whether you like or not!

Thanks for the link to this thread! I’m sorry to say that I just had an “authentic” Mexican dinner. Believe it or not, this very topic came up with a friend, who said, “pretty soon we won’t be allowed to eat here, due to ‘cultural appropriation.’”

Mmmm...had to look that up.

Best to toss it now than to be possibly raided later for misappropriating another culture. Pats on the back!

LOL, I would like to see someone try.

Don’t get her started on talking about China either. Her father fought the Japanese and Chinese Communists. Her parents were the only family members to escape to Taiwan.

The other family members were all tortured and either killed or sent to the interior to live in poverty. They were made an example of because they were wealthy and educated.

I have heard many stories about the civil war in China.
Does that make her and her family racists toward Chinese?

Seeing that the Celts, when they dispersed from the Caucasus, went pretty much everywhere, I can eat what I darn well please. ☺

Interesting and sad history for your wife and ancestors. Glad her parents escaped. I don’t think she can be racist, though...only white people can have that designation.

Getting dumb—Ethic Restaurant Owners don’t care who comes and eats their food—Its not the color of the skin its the color of the cash that counts—so it has always been. Long ago did Blacks kick out KKK members who came to enjoy the Bar-Bee-Que? No—They became good customers. This stuff today is just Black Racism—worst than white racism of 80 years ago.

A Saint Pat’s day without corned beef and cabbage and potatoes? Unthinkable. That’s like Thanksgiving without turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and string beans. Downright unAmerican.

the only Authentic ethnic food i eat is Asian... and unless they are trying to tell me Authentic Asian food doesn't have cat in it, it's about as authentic as it gets.

I’m guessing that the Mexican food I had in Fiji would make these people very happy. The only thing “Mexican” about it was the superficial appearance. Otherwise, its flavor was less authentic than Taco Bell, and that is a difficult feat to achieve.

Do not expect authenticity if you go to Fiji and order Mexican food made by Hindis.
