In reply to the discussion: What a fucking idiot!: Border Czar Tom Homan says Taco Bell's menu is offensive to, "real Americans," [View all]alarimer
(17,146 posts)17. It's offensive to anyone who likes real Mexican food.
In any case, Mexican food is not monolithic. There are numerous styles. None of them are really like Taco Bell, which I guess is based more on Tex-Mex.
Homan is a shallow-minded piece of shit. One of the best ways to get to know a culture is to try its food. It's really great to try new things, except for American dipshits who expect the world to cater to them.
Real or not, there are plenty of Americans who don't know anything about Mexico or its food.

Yes, we know that the picture is fake. Did he say it or something like it?

I'd say it's time for a bunch of taco trucks to settle in around Homan's neighborhood.

If that's the case, then "real americans" would also find Italian, Chinese, Greek, and all other ethnic foods offensive.

If he means Native Americans, the only "real Americans," he might be onto something LOL
