However, calling a race of people "taco bowls" because it's their cultural stereotype isn't racist? And even if the DNC starting calling Hispanics "taco bowls" soley because of a Trump Tweet they claim is racist, doesn't that still make them racist for taking the racist Tweet a step further by replacing the name of their actual race with a stereotypical food? And if calling Hispancis 'taco bowls' is so totally not racist, how come no democrats use the term publicly, but instead opt to use Hispanic or Latino?

"But, when it comes to the Latino-focused emails some say they are being taken out of context, and that the language in one of them actually references Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s racist comments.

On May 5, Trump tweeted: "Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!" The tweet, which included a photo of Trump giving a thumbs up, was widely criticized from the likes of ex-Florida Governor Jeb Bush to former Mexican President Vicente Fox."

Maybe  you read that differently than me.

Quote:The email in question, sent May 6 by DNC creative strategist Rebecca Christopher, reads: "Attached is a script for a new video we'd like to use to mop up some more taco bowl engagement.”

But that email was directly referencing Trump's tweet from the day before, and the video the DNC made in response to it - not Latinos themselves, a DNC spokesperson told Univision News. "Trump is running an incredibly divisive campaign and it's our job to hold him accountable," the spokesperson said.

They were talking about addressing Trump's taco bowl photo...not addressing Latinos as taco bowls.

Seems pretty clear.
