Not My Abuela

[ELEVEN]

I never ate the tamales my illegal would bring me at this time of year. What if they were a roofie and she raped me and stole everything?

Good point.

[Spirit]

I have a ham.  #'Murica

What she did was fine. Its just the hypocrisy of the cultural appropriation/racism left.

I hate tamales.

That's called a divorce.

I got drunk and hit on my cousin. That's what makes me honorary Mexican.

 

That makes you a Tennessee native.

I think we can all agree that this is not going to happen to you.  If you need reassurance, please take a look in the mirror........but we still love you man.

Nothing?  You guys suck!

I'm conflicted because Hispanics are a huge part of our society and especially as SoCal folks we understand that and I'm sure all us SoCal white folks have included Latino things into our daily lives. We eat mexican food regularly, we eat tamales during the holidays, we have many Hispanic friends.

Obviously she is pandering to some extent, but so what? She's trying to be accepting of Latino culture. That's bad? That's offensive?

If I post on twittergrambook that I'm having Christmas tamales and Feliz navidad, as a white person I'm a racist even if I love fûcking tamales and I'm wishing merry Christmas to everyone just in Spanish? Is that not ridiculously stupid?

Would those college Latinas that got their chones in a bunch prefer that she said, "**** you Mexicans, eat ham on Christmas and stop getting drunk in parks on Sunday afternoons."?

Sometimes you just can't win.

 

It's condescending.  So yes, it is bad and offensive.  We don't need you to be "accepting" of our culture by throwing around Spanish words here and there.  If you like Mexican food, fine.  Say you like Mexican food, just don't be a patronizing douche about it.

Nobody is picketing Clinton over this.  It is more like we are displeased and found a funny way to express it.  White people seem to like this my abuela stuff more than we do.

[Rico]

Condescending: having or showing a feeling of patronizing superiority.

 

When a rich white lady who is probably the favorite to be the next US President at this point goes around saying. "I'm just like your little old abuela in Mexico."  Yes, that is showing patronizing superiority.  Regardless of intent of being disrespectful or not.  It has nothing to do with being insecure with my culture, although I'd be the first to admit my culture has major problems.

Are you referring to the Raiders or menudo?

[Rico]

You've just proven my point.

She can only be perceived as "superior" if you feel inferior.

She is about to be our next President.

[Rico]

Are you referring to the Raiders or menudo?

Just Ricky Martin.  Leave the rest of menudo out of it.

[Rico]

Unless you are a female Asian SJW what makes you the authority on what someone else finds offensive and why?

[Rico]

BTW, I never said I was personally offended with what Clinton did.  I found the #notmyabuela stuff funny.  When I saw this thread late last night I wasn't planning to make a comment.  I only came in here after I saw your post.  YOUR post was condescending.

Truthfully, this is my main problem with the NBA's annual "tribute" to Hispanics, tacking "El" or "Los" onto every team name for that one day. It's ridiculous.

Imagine if Hilary had made this declaration on campus at Yale.

I have homemade tamales in my fridge right now. Goodbye, constipation. #myabuelo

Haha I can't breathe

I like it. We should have Los Angels on a jersey.

I can say that because I'm Irish and we were all drunk together on the other side of the Alamo.

We may not win any wars, but we are too drunk to care.

And for all you Trump voters, he thinks you are already too overpaid.

[Kevin]

Who here is voting for Trump?

You sure suffer from a lot of word vomit. Good luck with that.

[Spirit]

I wasn't aware anyone had voted yet.
