Change in the Latino community = Tacos for dinner
I usually don't say anything when I'm offended but this takes the cake. Wow. In East haven, CT., Mayor Joe Maturo made himself look completely ignorant in a WPIX interview. The original story was about police allegedly targeting Latinos but the story turned for the worst.

I still don't understand people who need proof that racism still exists.
To tell you the truth, I don't think it was very racist that he said he eats tacos.
Maybe it is because I am mexican and everyone in my family and every mexican that I know eats tacos. But I still don't see how that's racist.
you're right. you don't need a reason to prove racism still exists. But the context and the way he provoked his comment made it plain and simple that it was an assumption. It was more prejudice than racism
It was an assumption rooted in racism. Why be apologetic?
