La primera dama Jill Biden intentó elogiar a los latinos cuando dijo que eran tan únicos como los "tacos de desayuno". Pero solo generó críticas.

En su discurso, la primera dama también habló de la legislación bipartidista sobre armas de fuego firmada por el presidente y de la tragedia de Uvalde, que se encuentra a las afueras de San Antonio. "Sí, la comunidad latina es única. Pero lo que he escuchado de ustedes una y otra vez es que quieren lo que todas las familias quieren.

Jill Biden apologized on Tuesday for comparing the diversity of the Latino community to “breakfast tacos” during a speech.

Biden made the remark on Monday while speaking at a conference in San Antonio, Texas, for UnidosUS, a Latino civil-rights and advocacy organization. She started out by noting that the president recently signed bipartisan gun legislation passed in the aftermath of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and that the organization’s former leader, Raul Yzaguirre, was just awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Then she began speaking more generally about the Latino community. She has managed to avoid wearing any outfits emblazoned with insulting phrases, and one of her more notable controversies centered around the White House taking too long to get a cat.

Jill Biden said the Latino community is "as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio." After Latino groups complained, she quickly apologized.

“It was disappointing, because it felt like it was resorting to a shallow stereotype when she could have used the opportunity to examine and give some examples of that diversity.” During the campaign, she also crossed the border to serve a Christmas meal to asylum seekers in a refugee camp in Matamoros, Mexico. As first lady, Biden has emerged as a key administration messenger to the Latino community and immigration activists. In an interview, Yvette Cabrera, vice president of online for NAHJ, said that after Biden’s comments, the group’s rapid response team huddled to assess their own reaction. In a tweet, NAHJ wrote that the organization “encourages @FLOTUS & her communications team to take time to better understand the complexities of our people & communities. “I do not identify as Latinx.

Hizo estos comentarios en un discurso destinado a homenajear a Raúl Yzaguirre en la Conferencia Anual de UnidosUS de 2022.

Por muy deliciosos que sean los tacos de desayuno, no son representativos de la comunidad latina, ni deberían utilizarse para celebrar las consecuentes contribuciones de Yzaguirre. "Ha nombrado a latinos para los más altos cargos de su gabinete. No nos reduzcan a estereotipos", escribió la NAHJ en Twitter. Su equipo trabajó con todos ustedes -Unidos y muchos de los afiliados aquí presentes- para vacunar a los latinos, luchar contra el hambre e invertir en sus pequeñas empresas", dijo Biden. La idea de que todos los latinos están representados por las bodegas y los tacos de desayuno refuerza los estereotipos tradicionales, agrupando a una comunidad ampliamente diversificada en el mismo grupo. "No somos tacos.

Tone-deaf, entitled Jill Biden and more commentary (New York Post)

Commentary on Sri Lanka's protests, Biden's elitist cabal and how he keeps us in the dark, our tone-deaf first lady and the coming de-population reckoning.

In 2025, the United States faces “a demographic cliff” as “the numbers of college-age students will start to drop precipitously,” writes John Feehery in The Hill. He faults elites on the left and the right for believing in “the perverse idea that population growth is bad for America”: “Roe v. . . . They can’t be racist, insensitive, or abrasive; check their voter registration!” But this time the National Association of Hispanic Journalists objected; its members are clearly “exasperated from always being expected to play along and just pretend they didn’t hear what they just heard.” Yes, “the uprisings are inchoate . . . but it’s obvious what people are generally angry about — the irrational decision-making practices of a new class of political rulers.”’ It is expending a lot of energy to keep Americans in the dark.” This is “what happens when policy is shaped according to the desires and prejudices” of elites. Wade was the culmination of a long campaign to get more people to end pregnancies” and it came at the cusp of “the sexual revolution and the environmental movement.” Left and right are both wrong, as population growth “is essential for economic growth and for a healthy society.” Depopulation won’t just leave colleges short on qualified students, but employers unable to find workers even as Social Security and Medicare are “far down the path of insolvency.”

Naturally, the internet is up in arms about that statement, and for good reason.

Jill Biden's San Antonio 'taco' comment exposes how Democrats are failing Latino, but Republicans' outrage skips over Trump's abusive anti-Latino rhetoric.

Either they are consistent, or they are not, because in the end, the Latino community deserves and commands more respect. Seven years have passed since Trump made anti-Mexican and anti-Latino sentiments that quickly became a foundational part of the party’s platform, yet here we all are giving more attention to breakfast tacos. Do not reduce us to stereotypes,” the National Association of Hispanic Journalists tweeted Monday said in response to the first lady’s speech (full disclosure: I am a lifetime member). Political parties continue to view the country’s second-largest voting cohort through simplistic lenses, many of which are rooted in years of institutional racism. But are Republicans really the right ones to launch their criticism at Biden, and at Democrats more widely, when it comes to serving Latinos? Biden’s words led Sen. Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican, to tweet a photo of a taco.
