First lady Jill Biden called the Latino community “as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio,” on Monday. The National Association of Hispanic Journalists quickly released a statement telling the White House “do not reduce us to stereotypes.”

 

 

“We are not tacos,” tweeted the NAHJ who posted a statement.

“Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by a variety of diasporas, cultures and food traditions, and should not be reduced to a stereotype,” NAHJ said along with the hashtag "#representationmatters."

 

 “Dr.” Jill made the remark at a conference held in Texas, where she spoke on the Hispanic “Quest for Equity.”
