In a speech on Monday, Jill Biden said the Latino community was "as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio."
Biden made the remarks at a Latino advocacy conference in the Alamo City. Her remarks drew swift rebuke from Republicans and others, including the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, which issued a statement saying her comment “demonstrates a lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the divinity of Latinos in the region.” NAHJ encourages @FLOTUS & her communications team to take time to better understand the complexities of our people & communities.
We are not tacos.
Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by various diasporas, cultures & food traditions.

— NAHJ (@NAHJ) July 12, 2022 Biden issued an apology Tuesday.
But other critics leaned into Biden’s breakfast taco comparison, including U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. At first puzzled by Biden’s remarks, Cruz later said in a tweet that “personally, I’m a chorizo, egg & cheese.”
The Express-News asked locals on social media, including Reddit, Twitter and a local food Facebook group: “If you were a breakfast taco, what would you be?”
Most said they would be chorizo mixed with a myriad of add-ons such as huevos, frijoles and papas. The second-most popular response, as one reader put it, was: “Bean and cheese, a delicious classic.”

She should borrow Hillary’s bottle of hot sauce out of her purse.
The panering is so obvious that the Hispanics can see it, and certain other minority groups may be seeing it too
Damage control.
It continues to amaze how the media feels compelled to be INSTANTLY biased.
Hey, San Antonio Express-News, those "others" you mention there were the entire remainder of the country laughing or cringing.
I'm shocked they didn't say "Republicans pounced..."
Someone needs to give Jill a tuna stuffed raw jalapeño.
Yeah. That’s always a good one.
So, am I a potato since I’m Irish?
huevos, frijoles y arroz - my favorite breakfast.
I’m so tired of all the bigoted ideas about the Irish.
Damn it!
I just dropped me whisky.
It doesn’t seem to matter does it? The idiot dems pander every election cycle, they’re just terrible at it because they’re out of touch elitists. Hispanics, or whatever they’re called now must like to be pandered to because so many of them still vote democrat.
I can’t decide if I’m a pierogi or a kielbasa.
Actually I yam an abondegas.
.............around my neighborhood in West-Central Texas we have a taco called “Migas Taco”. It is absolutely the best and I’ve been eating them for 50 years.
I identify as a chalupa
No wonder.
I can just imagine the beating your wife’s gonna give you.
I'm sure somebody somewhere did. 😃
I am convinced hunter Biden got some bad Irish Genes.
Anyone with Irish Genes that have some weird stuff going on should look up the Irish Travellers genes . They have a propensity for certain diseases including CAH
