How can something that pays honor to an ethnicity’s cuisine to celebrate that ethnicity’s holiday, to raise funds for a non-profit, be considered “offensive”?

Guess some folks will have to resort to using code words like “tequila” now. Just wondering when we’re gonna get the list of words that can’t be used without offending someone.

Because we’re all supposed to be vanilla-flavored, gray-shaded, non-unique snowflakes of inclusion.

Are tacos actually Mexican food? I thought they were first made by Americans.

Here’s another example what decades of racial pandering does
Just skip everything “Cinco de Mayo” Boycott its sponsors Just ignore the whole damn thing

Of course it's not offensive to celebrate another country's cuisine and culture. Or your own country.
The "Offensive!" criers are messing with us.

First made by natives of the Valley of Mexico, apparently; the Aztecs ate them with fish as the primary filling. The Spanish named them “taco”. The US innovation might have been the “hard shell” version, where the corn tortilla is deep-fried.

Tacos are definitely Mexican in origin. But Americans have made them into something different. A real taco is seasoned meat in a warm corn tortilla. Maybe with a little garnish like a bit of onion.
I like to oil fry my corn tortilla and put some diced onion and a sprinkle of cheese on it. That seems acceptable to the Mexicans I know.
But the flour tortilla or the hard shell corn tortilla tacos are ‘American’. As is the habit of shoving a salad on top of the meat.

I think you have to be a radical liberal type, to understand the logic involved here.

There is a simple solution to this violation of “soft or crunchy” political correctness. Refer to them as “openly gay” tacos and that should solve the problem.
