Every year across the nation, several Pi Beta Phi sorority chapters host all-you-can-eat “Pi Phiesta” taco bar fundraisers at their respective campuses to raise money for charity.
But that longstanding tradition, typically held around Cinco de Mayo, is in jeopardy.
In the past few weeks, pressure from a handful of Latino students at two high-profile universities who complained the events are offensive prompted dramatic changes to two “Pi Phiesta” fundraisers.

FOOD FIGHT:
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WAS FOUGHT FOR THE FREEDOM of EATING!!!
The Mexicans have morphed into the 1775 Brits:
“On the 23d of June 1775 Gen Bayley prepared an address to the Northern Indians which is here given in full Newbury Coos June 23 1775 -

"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision
of what is before them, glory and danger alike,
and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it."~Thucydides

And they are really small, not large like Americans have made them. I love real Mexican tacos. When in Mexico there were 4 of us and we’d order 20 tacos and a bucket of beer. Yum!
We have a small Mexican restaurant here that serves real tacos and they are always busy.
I grew up in Texas, I do not consider tacos to be ethnic food
Not Liking Mexican Food is Racist According To Democrats
Latino student group says eating tacos is offensive to Mexicans
Victimology is a Marxist tactic. The feigned offense is simply a method to move their agenda forward.
Pray America wakes up
Indeed. More like comfort food.
The sorority’s response should be to condemn those Latino students as snobs who deplore one of the most popular cuisines in the world, because they think it is “peon food” and below them.
LOL
I’m beginning to think liberals are cannibals.Or zombies...
Parasites maybe?
