I Am Not A Taco

A phrase used by people of Latino/Hispanic cultures in response to people referring to them in simple stereotypes, referring to them as 'tacos' to sum up a culture, or assuming they are of Mexican descent.

The phrase is mainly a direct response to First Lady Jill Biden's speech, where she simplified the multi-ethnic community of San Antonio to the Mexican-American dish "breakfast tacos," in a quote from her speech: “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.” prompting the phrase as a response to the cringy assumption/pandering.

Person 1: "Did you hear that speech from Jill Biden in San Antonio the other night?"
Person 2: "Yeah, I can believe she said that crap. Like, I am not a taco."
