Food and gaming chain Dave & Buster’s has had to apologize after sending out a racially-charged tweet to promote #TacoTuesday.

On Tuesday, Dave & Busters --which has more than 70 locations in North America-- posted on this on its official Twitter feed:

Their tweet said: "I hate tacos" said no Juan ever. #TacoTuesday

[Mrs. Don-o]

Which word is actually a race? Taco or Juan?

[dware]

I think it was the “Tuesday” part. =D

If you eat at a Mexican restaurant are you racist or is the restaurant racist?

Pray America wakes up

[fhayek]

You would think that they had hired the Frito Bandito or something..

[Genoa]

Both, and you’re a racist for asking, and I’m a racist for laughing at it.

[Swordmaker]

Which word is actually a race? Taco or Juan?

i find it fascinating that the person who claimed it was "racist" was named "Clarke". . . that a really Hispanic name, isn't it?

[SkyDancer]

Oh wow! How insensitive (/sarc)... so, Hispanic is a race now? So using ‘taco’ and a Hispanic name together in a sentence is now considered racist?

[cripplecreek]

I have a mexican friend who used to want to open a mexican restaurant and call it “Taco Benders”.

[Responsibility2nd]

Not offensive.

My guess is that D&B knows that there is no such thing as bad publicity.

They took a nothing remark and ginned it up and “apoligized” for it in some lame “look at me” attempt to get recognition.

[rhoda_penmark]

That’s known as “outrage by proxy”.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

I knew a guy who wanted to open one called Nacho Mama.

[Responsibility2nd]

Here in San Antonio there was a Food Truck Vendor serving up a good Chicken dish served Asian Style.

What did they call it?

“CockAsion”.

It did not go over well. It got banned.

[Red Badger]

No Juan cares..................

[rfreedom4u]

I have a friend from Jamaica who wants to open a restaurant. I told her to name it “Jamaican Me Hungry”

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

No Hispanics will be Joaquin into their restaurants.

[rktman]

Apparently any ethnicity can now be used for race based discrimination. Unless you’re central or northern european. Then there is no “protected” category for you. Wait until you fill out the latest questionaire at the docs office. If you go to one that is.

“I love Frito's corn chips,
I love them, I do,
I love Frito's corn chips,
I get them from you.”

*Bandito points gun, get chips, amnesty, and your job*

Does this make make La Rasa mad?
Que lastima!/s

[FreedomGuru]

On what planet does a person who follows Dave & Buster tweets come from? Somebody needs to get a life.

[Mich Patriot]

Someone will get butthurt over anything ever said, written, or thought about. That’s why I say carry on and ignore the effing limp-wristed whiners. OOOPS, DID I JUST OFFEND GAY MEN? I sure hope so.
