During a speech in San Antonio on Monday, first lady Jill Biden said that Latinos were as different as 'breakfast tacos.' A group of Hispanic journalists told her that she was wrong.
During the annual UnidosUS conference, Biden was praising civil rights leader Raul Yzaguirre when she made the strange compliment.
Yzaguirre was in charge of the group for 30 years. It used to be called the National Council of La Raza.
“Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community — as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio — is your strength,” Biden said.
When addressing the Bronx bodegas, though, she mispronounced the convenience stores and said “bogedas.”
The National Association of Hispanic Journalists panned the remarks, stating, “We are not tacos.”
“Using breakfast tacos to try to demonstrate the uniqueness of Latinos in San Antonio demonstrates a lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the diversity of Latinos in the region,” the association wrote.
“NAHJ encourages Dr. Biden and her speech writing team to take the time in the future to better understand the complexities of our people and communities. We are not tacos.
“Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by a variety of diasporas, cultures and food traditions, and should not be reduced to a stereotype.”
The US Census says that about 1.5 million people live in San Antonio, and 65 percent of them are Hispanic or Latino.
Conservatives also said bad things about Biden, and they wondered how liberals would react if a Republican said the same things.
“No wonder Hispanics are fleeing the Democratic Party!” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) tweeted.
