Mexican Restaurant Makes Employees Wear "How To Catch An Illegal Immigrant" Shirts
The South Carolina chain Taco Cid has become part of an online controversy after an image of their insensitive employee T-shirts made its way to Twitter.
1. The shirts were first spotted by Free Times reporter Corey Hutchins.
2. The shirts read: “How to catch an illegal immigrant,” and feature a picture of a box on string with two tacos in it.
Taco Cid’s Facebook page has already erupted with angry comments.
Taco Cid has put a statement regarding the controversial shirts on their website, defending the shirts as “witty and comical”:
Our t-shirts were created as a witty and comical statement regarding ILLEGAL immigrants. There are NO racial nor hate remarks towards any specific ethnic group.
Taco Cid and its employees are not racist. We will serve EVERY individual with the same quality of service, respect in a friendly and welcoming manner.

kea718 4 months agoI would love to know how many people who get offended by things like this (this shirt, Gwyneth Paltrow quoting Niggas in Paris, etc, etc, etc) are actually the race/ethnicity/religion/etc. it was aimed towards. I always see so many white Americans up in arms because of this crap and it just makes Me Sick

whitneycaudle 4 months agoIt’s not racist, it’s prejudice. A preconceived opinion not based on reason or experience. I’m from South Carolina and I’m also a huge comedy nerd. That is not comedy, it’s just another reason why everyone looks at South Carolina like inbred nascar loving mouth breathers. Welcome to the bible belt folks. It’s a cluster fuck.

suburbantragic 4 months agoBlatant racism aside, who hasn’t fallen for the old “Tacos under a box with a string attached” trap? I’m not saying I have, but I’m also not going to say that I haven’t three times.

alvina3 4 months ago“I used to say whatever thought came into my head. Then, I got more and more into the world outside my little sphere, and kind (and some not-so-kind) people guided me towards more judicious behavior. I don’t piss off nearly as many people these days.” o.m. Nothing says you have to say, or print, everything you think or feel. If you feel it’s your right to do so, then also be willing to accept that there will be response(s) as others exercise their rights.

chachaw 4 months agoThis is stupid, they sure can’t allude to mexican people at all, because EVERY MEXICAN-BORN IN THE WORLD knows that those are not real tacos!! for fucks sake, the joke is stupid not because it’s “racist” but because they pretend that those are “mexican” tacos…. it’s all wrong guys, not witty at all.

So if you’re a Canadian illegal immigrant, this shirt is making fun of you too! Because we all know that Canadians are culturally known for liking tacos. Don’t you guys love passive aggressiveness?

You have better chances of catching Chinese illegals with those tacos: no self-respecting Mexican would eat those tacos. Even tacos from outside the subway station (lowest of the low) are better than that.
