Taco Bell

"Make a run for the border".In this day and age how do they get away with a statement like that?It's a racist statement that makes fun of people in mexico trying to get in the U.S.
When i first heard it i thought it would die right away.But many years later it's still going strong.Why?

maybe it means for those in the U.S. to make a run for the Mexican border to get some Mexican food?...but whomever is making a Taco Bell run, please get me a mexi-melt.

I thought it was more about Americans making a run towards the boarder, to get Mexican food, myself...Why would a Mexican want to run to the American border for some shitty fast food?

Just happens that it's bad Mexican food. I might advise you to stay away from the lettuce...

I never thought of it that way when I heard it.


Taco Bell is Americanized Mexican food. If you live in SoCal you can get authentic Mexican food because there's a good Mexican food joint on every corner, sort of like liquor stores. eek

Eye always loved those commercials when the little dog was in them he was so cute, as far as the statement, it never bothered me cause eye never thought of it as making fun of mexican people, cause in god's eye's were all the same.

for under age teens.
Ensenota(sp) a lil beach town for coolin out, and fishing
all those other exotic places in mexico that the rich,

when they say RUN FOR THE BORDER, you have to remember they're talkin to us the GRINGOES...

no offense, but in this day of silly political correctness, this one takes the cake!

I've NEVER considered the meaning of this slogan to be derogatory in any way. Taco Bell serves "mexican" food. So, for an American to get "Mexican" food, they'd have to "run for the border" whatevs


anyway...I'll take a 7-layer and a Baja Cahlupa no meat plus beans please! drool
