“We Aren’t Tacos”: After Hispanic Community Outrage, Jill Biden Apologises
Cultural unnescending comments by US First Lady Jill Biden who spread like fire throughout social media encourage the apology of the White House and the anger from the group that insisted Hispanic “Not Taco.”
During his speech on Monday in Texas, Biden praised the diversity of the country as “different from Bronx Bronx, as beautiful as Miami flowers, and Seunik Taco had breakfast here at San Antonio.”
His statement may be a nod in popular dishes in South Texas Hispanic which is very Hispanic, but falls flat as a pancake, quickly becomes the focus of ridicule, ridicule and political opportunism.
“The First Lady apologized that her words conveyed anything except admiration and pure love for the Latin community,” Press Secretary Biden Michael Larosa said on Twitter.
Mea Culpa came in the morning after a spicy reprimand by the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, who warned Biden not to reduce their various communities to “stereotypes.”
“We are not Taco,” Nahj said.
“Using Taco’s breakfast to try to show the uniqueness of the Latin people in San Antonio showed a lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the diversity of Latin people in the region.”
The Texas First Lady trip is intended to attract hispanic voters, traditionally a component of an important selection for the Democratic Party of President Joe Biden.
The United States is home to around 62 million Hispanics, according to the 2020 census data.
Nahj said it urged Biden “to spend future time to better understand the complexity of our people and communities.”
With about four more months before the election of the Midterm Congress in the US, the Republican Party joined the criticism.
“Hispanik is not monolitic,” member of the Carlos Gimenez Congress from Florida was posted on Twitter.
“No wonder Hispanic escapes the Democratic Party!” Member of Congress Andy Biggs, a Republic of Arizona, said.
Over the past year, President Biden’s approval ranking has dropped from 55 percent to only 26 percent of Hispanic voters, a Quinnipiac poll showed.
