All-u-can-eat Taco bars may become a thing of the past on college campuses. They’re too offensive. The College Fix reported:
Every year across the nation, several Pi Beta Phi sorority chapters hostall-you-can-eat “Pi Phiesta” taco bar fundraisers at their respective campuses to raise money for charity.
But that longstanding tradition, typically held around Cinco de Mayo, is in jeopardy.
In the past few weeks, pressure from a handful of Latino students at two high-profile universities who complained the events are offensive prompted dramatic changes to two “Pi Phiesta” fundraisers.
At Dartmouth College, the fundraiser was cancelled outright, and at Stanford University, the sorority girls scrapped their Mexican themed “Pi Phiesta” for a summery, ocean-themed one, although they still served tacos.
The Dartmouth situation created national headlines, while the quick switcheroo at Stanford took place much more quietly.
Nevertheless, the future of “Pi Phiesta” fundraisers across the nation hang in the balance as the charitable tradition faces increased scrutiny from the politically correct campus police.
Maybe they could serve something else and still call it Pi Phiesta, like pizza pie?
We can't generalize about any one culture or even identify it with certain favorite foods. In three generations we've gone from strict stereotyping of the races to the complete taboo of any racial associations.
Italians can't be associated with pasta -- offensive!
Chinese cannot be associated with - fried rice and Pu Pu Platters
Turks can't be associated with Naan bread
Americans cannot be associated with hamburgers
The French with pastry? No no no no!
Nope, can't do ANY of these!!!!! Smahten up!

I agree 100% with these radical Mexican kids. I call for the stamping out of all Mexican food. First off, it is low grade dog food that sucks. Secondly, I would feel a whole lot better if every bit of their culture was eradicated in the US. I do not want the guilt of illegals feeling offended.
Let's push for more Italian and German food. It tastes better anyway...
