Too good. 😂 Enjoy- White Guys Are Mad About Tim Walz's 'White-Guy Tacos'

https://www.thecut.com/article/tim-walz-white-guy-tacos-controversy.html

Conservative men with posting obsessions always need something new to yell about, and for the past 24 hours they’ve decided it’s Tim Walz’s taco preferences. Sure, why not? Their faux outrage spawned from a video released by the Kamala Harris campaign in which Walz tells Harris that he enjoys “white-guy tacos.”

My white guy hubby thinks it's hilarious (and true) although he also enjoys spicy ones. Really tacos are good in all forms as you quickly learn growing up in California. Even my whitebread family had tacos for dinner once a week. We made them the way they tasted good to us using that packet of taco seasoning you could buy back then. Thanks for the tacos, Mom!

Used to feed the HS basketball team on them.

A trick instead of the spice packet, I add 8 oz. V8 juice and my own spices (cumin, oregano, chili powder, s&p) to a pound of ground beef or turkey. Simmer until thickened.

I usually make my own, but the packet works for those days when I'm too busy or tired to root around in the spice cabinet.

The packets are also great for making very fast soups.

which are stereotypically bland and unspicy - hot dish (tuna-noodle casseroles or something made with tater tots and cream of mushroom soup) and "white guy" tacos made of ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese. But they have to get butt-hurt over something, I guess.

I can just imagine. On the other hand, some folks cannot handle pepper or some other spices. I have a good friend who hates spicy (as I. Hot pepper) food. He is Afro-Caribbean. I have to cook his food separately when I have the regulars over twice a year.

Because they're nightshade, and my allergies to them are only getting worse over time. Several things that gave me no trouble when I was younger are now intolerances, and what used to be mild intolerances are now 'get out the EpiPen' for me.

The one nightshade that's always been deadly for me has been cayenne. If people measure it out with a spoon, or sprinkle it on food in the same room with me, my throat swells shut in less than 30 seconds, and my head becomes the size of a pumpkin

So much fun.

I used to like spicy when I was younger, I eat a taco tonight it’ll be heartburn until tomorrow night. I used hot sauce on my eggs, my steaks, my chili, now it’s bland oatmeal, unsalted eggs and milk. I can’t even enjoy a whole soda.

No, not old age. Something Latin-y. My mother used it sometimes when talking about how people's dietary tolerances change over time.

I was like you--I could eat spicy anything when I was younger. Hotter the better (as long as it wasn't my nemesis, cayenne). Now? I'm almost Minnesotan in my heat tolerance. Almost. But not quite.

Food actually tastes better to me now that I'm getting more creative about seasoning food rather than maxing out the heat. I'm also learning about 'less is more' with seasoning. Many of these modern dishes go way overboard with the herbs and spices, when more judicious use of seasoning brings out the flavor of meats, and especially vegetables, better. After all, it's Coq au Vin, not Ail (garlic) au Vin. The chicken and wine are the stars, and the spices are the supporting cast, not vice versa.

The phrase "taco trucks on every corner" was used by American activist Marco Gutierrez, the co-founder of Latinos for Trump, on September 1, 2016 which received widespread attention during that year's presidential election.

My favorite taco is from a food franchise that made them as a side. These taco’s were really greasy back in the day probably loaded with cholesterol they eliminated the grease and they suffer today only a hint of grease. I still prefer a good dousing of tobasco. White people tacos, Mexican Tacos they both work for me

Several campaign ads could be made from just cuts of their conversation.

They are great together. They're winners IMO, and the nation is finding out just as we are.

There's something to be said about this short, abbreviated campaign length...sorta like in other countries where campaigns don't take two whole years and multi-millions of dollars.

66. 'Anti-white racism': MAGA influencers melting down over Tim Walz's taco joke
Sat Aug 17, 2024, 07:37 PM
Aug 2024

Walz's taco joke is pissing off the maga idiots



https://www.rawstory.com/tim-walz-white-tacos/

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz this week made a self-deprecating joke about liking "white guy tacos" without much seasoning -- and many top conservative influencers are furious.

Many right-wing influencers did not see humor in the exchange, however, and they accused Walz and Harris of engaging in anti-white bigotry.

"Crazy that a presidential candidate can just casually let out some blatant anti-white racism and nobody cares," complained The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh. "Imagine if Donald Trump said that a 'black guy taco' was made with fried chicken and watermelon. Nuclear meltdown."

The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro also registered his objection.

"See, folks, it's funny that white people hate spices!" he wrote sarcastically. "Not racist at all! Just funny! (FACT CHECK: Europeans liked spices so much that they literally got involved in several hundred years of war in order to determine control of the spice trade.)"

MAGA influencer Mike Cernovich did some detective work and discovered that Walz had at one time made a taco recipe that featured spices including paprika and chili powder, which he suggested shows "Tim Walz is lying about how people in Minnesota don’t season their food."
