Being of mixed heritage, I have people of all different shades and colors in my family. I was blessed to be raised with all kinds of friends from a multitude of races and cultures. Color never affected who I chose to befriend or date. If I ever brought a girl home to introduce her to my family, I was never worried that there would be any awkwardness or meet the disapproval of my parents.
One Friday afternoon when I was 17 years old, I brought over my girlfriend at the time that happened to be of Vietnamese heritage. I introduce her to my mom and we head into the kitchen because I was gonna make her some tacos then head out to a football game. Fun Friday, right? Well, when my stepdad walks in and I introduce her, this dude bows to her and asks:
"Hi! You like here?"
HOLY... SHIT. My heart fell into my stomach and I yell "WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? SHE'S FROM HERE!!!"
My girlfriend laughed, my mom scolded him, I was embarrassed, my step dad was befuddled. Man, I was pissed! Luckily my girlfriend at the time thought it was hilarious. Although I was mortified, I understood what happened. My step father worked at the University of Southern California. Most Asian people he came into contact with were students from outside of the country. He meant no harm or disrespect. Anybody that knows him will say he has a heart of gold and doesn't harbor any prejuduce whatsoever and I can vouch for that. With that being said, I still hold my breath when we're out at a Chinese restaurant and it's his turn to order.
Anyway, on to the review! These are amazing! Upon first bite I get flavors of beef, cumin, cheese, and sour cream all at once. These taste JUST like the tacos my momma makes. The American orange grease running down your fingers version of the taco. I swear I can even taste the lettuce. If these don't win the flavor contest this year I'll know the system is rigged. 5 outta 5 on the chip mack scale.
