'Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by a variety of diasporas, cultures and food traditions, and should not be reduced to a stereotype,' the National Association of Hispanic Journalists said.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is facing criticism after a comment she made during a speech at the 2022 UnidosUS Annual Conference, seemingly likening Hispanics to tacos.
"The diversity of this community -- as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio -- is your strength," Dr. Biden said. The organization released a statement, saying in part,"We are not tacos... Do not reduce us to stereotypes."
