No, the DNC did NOT compare Mexicans to “taco bowls”

With a little bit of context, cries of “racism” are easily debunked.

Oh, good fucking god. I’m starting to think some of the people criticizing the recently released hacked DNC emails are completely devoid of understanding context.

I see a few friends sharing around several articles, claiming that one of the emails clearly show racism among the Democrats. While skeptical, I was quite intrigued. So I check it out. The screen capture of the email is provided in the image above.

According to these articles, when one of the DNC members named Rebecca Christopher sends an email, stating, “Attached is a script for a new video we’d like to use to mop up some more taco bowl engagement, and demonstrate the [sic] Trump actually isn’t trying,” Rebecca is correlating Mexicans to a taco bowl.

Ummmm….. NO SHE ISN’T, YOU MORONS!

By “taco bowl engagement,” she clearly means engagement surrounding the absolutely tasteless taco bowl tweet made by Donald Trump. You remember that, right? Just in case you’re being deliberately stupid and deny this, just look at the date of when the email was sent. Don’t worry, I’ll wait….

May 6, 2016. Now I want you to go to Donald Trump’s twitter account and look at the date of when Trump sent that stupid tweet about loving Mexicans because he’s eating a fucking taco bowl. Don’t worry, I’ll wait….

May 5, 2016! It has absolutely nothing to do with calling Mexicans “taco bowls,” rather has everything to do with responding to Donald Trump’s stupid ass — racist! — tweet.

So the next time you start running your mouths, pretending to be actual “journalists,” be sure to get your facts straight and keep in mind one of the most important things when analyzing anything dealing with online text, emails, dates, etc. — context!!!
