I'm with you Victor!   These distorted takes on LULAC and the GI Forum would
be funny if it weren't so sad that folks don't bother to get accurate info
before they shoot off their traps.   I personally like the commercials.   I
think it's about time people saw TV that showed something other than black
and/or white folks.  It's even based in a barrio.   TV acts like Latinos
don't even exist unless we're waitors, maids, or criminals.  I think the
spunky little dog is cute.   I salute Taco Bell for not giving in, tho.
Hang tuff, Victor.  You're not alone.
