I'm not sure that they're smart enough to know that it is racism, after all their PR states that they are closed on Sundays, since that is a day of worship... Christian bigotry all wrapped up pretty with bows is still racism.
Have you seen that photo of the hipster trap?
Bear trap with neon sunglasses, a can of PBR and a Holga camera. Is that a harmless joke or not allowed either?
There is an Italian joint in Costa Mesa called the Spaghetti Bender. This made me laugh, cause I'm pretty sure Taco Bender has become an offensive term for Mexicans.
But if they made a t-shirt where they replaced the tacos with poutine I would buy it because then it WOULD be a "witty and comical statement regarding illegal immigrants".
They DO eat a lot of tacos in Mexico. But none of the tacos look like that. Some of my friends in Mexico even thought it was funny, because those are clearly not real tacos.
As an equally witty reposte, I propose creating a t-shirt with text to read "How To Catch A Taco Cid Customer", and replacing the two tacos with images of one of the following:
Twinkies
Lotto Tickets
Cans of Coors Light
Swanson "Hungry Man" TV Dinners
Pit Bulls
Honey Boo Boo
Confederate Flags
Blocked up 1978 Chevy Camaros
David Duke
Those big busted sillhouetted chicks one sees on the back of Dodge Ram Trucks
After all, I'm sure the owners of Taco Cid would have no problem seeing any of these as a "witty and comical statement" on their customers and not be upset that they might be fomenting some sort of silly "raciall or hate remarks" towards them, right?
On behalf of my state and the people of my state, I apologize. I apologize personally for not having done enough to make the owners of this business aware that this sort of misbehavior is not acceptable. I am ashamed that these people think they can operate while displaying this kind of Hate. Please believe me, we're not all like that.
Wait, are we saying hard-shelled "tacos" makes it racist, but if they had instead (say) a nice pastor with the pineapple, onion, and cilantro on a small, hand-made corn tortilla, it wouldn't be?
No stereotypes implied here at all: "I have to assume it's because generations of hillbilly inbreeding have rendered you incapable of little more than fucking your sister-cousin..."

Or at least I did.
2 days for a news cycle on a non-major story? They might as well not report it at all!
The quote in the story about not buying their tacos, not because of the racism, but because they make shitty tacos was great.
For shame.
Fucking white people.

More like feast food without the crunchy goodness that is usually there.
(not saying I'm Hispanic, but a lot of my relatives are, and I spend holidays with them)
I'm so confused.
