Is Wal-Mart stocking salsa under "Latino Foods" racist?: A productive ILX race thread.

srsly tho

mort d'wal

lonely wal-mart just thinking baout salsa

also racist

better than "Hispanic Foods"

Isn't it sexist?

"Latino" is not a race.

enlighten me kerm

Latino y Latina food

DOMINGO DOMINGO DOMINGO

assuming they even do this its way beneath them based on its sheer stupidity, unless theirs some kind of clever angle im missing like forcing white 20-30somethigns into the 'latino' section

which is prob the case actually

They put the coconut milk there, which in most stores is in the 'Asian' foods section.

assuming they even do this

lol what do you think i made this up?

The produce here is kind of segregated at the Wal-Mart: they'll have all the tomatillos, chilis, cilantro, those sugar cones, all in their own section.

its more like awoal-mart for me cuz i dont shop there anymore :)

xp im never trusting you again bud

yea stuff in "Latino Foods" is all non-perishables. shit like tortillas and black beans and salsa etc. no produce tho

by non-perishables i mean stuff you'd keep in your pantry-- i know salsa perishes

Dude, I knows, it's up front they split it up too. I mean, I think they'd stick the tripe et. al in that aisle if they could.

(In spite of its perishability.)

wtf is this stupid thread about? Does going to 8 aisles just to make some chilaquiles or whatever prove some point about racial tolerance?

Tortillas are an aisle endcap, tho.

They should alphebetize all the foods in a store by name to avoid this problem.

J0rdan Salsa.

Next to the jordan almonds, yes.

damn homie-- it's clearly a thread for being bored on a wednesday night i.e. "A productive ILX race thread". im not trying to our wal-mart co. as awful racists, i think they've done that for themselves already

not trying to out**

¿Then does yard bird go under 'C'hicken or 'P'ollo?

Alphabetized by American name usage.

If the 'Pollo Loco' chain of restaurants started making frozen appetizers, those would go in the 'p' section.

isn't that xenophobic?

should be alphabetized by Esperanto name usage...

WAL-MATJALO

i think i just solved the obesity crisis

kerm did you vote yes or no

They always put the pinatas above the candy aisle.

Everyone can get behind that!

I voted the obvious correct answer.

Are you trying to blame that on Mexico?

I'm gonna live off of iced coffee the rest of the week. Is that under I or C?

Mexico isn't this hot.

Mi fari ne scii. Kulpigi la alfabeto.

lost my appetite already

Can't we just stock salsa under Chicano grub and yuppie condiments at the same time and have peace?

always thought it was ka-razy that they would sell guns n ammo but not cds with swear words

i guess its not that crazy

The sooner that burritos became the national American food of choice, the better.

excellent point. as a kid, our spice rack was alphabetized and once instead of shaking a bunch of cinnamon into my egg nog i ended up with chili powder because i saw the bottle was turned and i saw the 'c' and the color was right so i grabbed it.

Is the whole East Coast that hot right now? Because that's... AAAAgh. AAAAAAAAAAAAAgh. I moved 1400 miles from where I grew up to avoid that kind of thing.

Wait, wikipedia says "Salsa refers to a fusion of informal dance styles having roots in the Caribbean (especially in Cuba and Puerto Rico), Latin and North America."

So what's the problem?

"foods"?

"Salsa music is a diverse and predominantly Spanish Caribbean genre that is popular across Latin America and among Latinos abroad.

The word "Latino" is not... oh nevermind.
