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.

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

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.

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.

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 present war is only between the King and a part of the Lords and America. The Lords say all Americans shall become slaves or servants to them, shall plow no more than they say, EAT NOR DRINK nor hunt BUT ONLY BY THEIR LEAVE, shall not kill deer, moose, beaver or any other thing but by their consent. Americans say they will and that the King by the Lords advice has sent redcoats to kill us if we will
not be subject to what they say. And we have thirty thousand men with guns great and small to fight in our defense; we only want to live as we have lived heretofore. We do not want to fight if they would let us alone.”p73

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. At Dartmouth College, the fundraiser was cancelled outright, and at Stanford University, the sorority girls scrapped their Mexican themed “Pi Phiesta” for a summery, ocean-themed one, although they still served tacos. …

Victimology is a Marxist tactic. The feigned offense is simply a method to move their agenda forward.

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.
