“If you grew up in a Latino household, you know the blue tin. You know the smell. You know the heartbreak of opening it and finding sewing needles instead of cookies.”
Why does a Middle-Eastern author writing about Danish cookies being falsely accused by a Chinese app of being made in India interject about Latino households when describing what as far as I know is a universally American experience?
My thoughts as well, I've bought those cookies for years and never thought of it as a "Latino" thing.
