Where do the Hispanics eat?

Hey, the taco thread got me to thinking about this. Where do the Hispanic workers (mostly construction guys) eat for lunch? I don't know if they brown bag it or if there is a trailer they go to or what. One thing I learned post Katrina was that there are food trailers that cater to these guys and the food is muy authentico. Me and Mrs Skunkape can get a fistfull of killer tacos and Mexican drinks (not booze but flavored waters in longnecks) for a song. Anything like this hidden from the masses in SOWAL? :idontno:

Latino and Latina IS the new preference now.

Just the context it was being used sounded more offensive than Hispanic. That's all.

Steele Mama, we like the same movies and now it appears we have the same taste in Latino or Hispanic or Miamian men. That Andy Garcia is still hot after all these years. :wub:

Yes he's hot and the only Puerta Rican I could think of.

Preference of whom? Has anyone bothered to ask the Mexicans what name they prefer? Is lumping them into a wider spanning group for our benefit because we never bother to find out if they are from Peru, Mexico, etc? I have never never bothered to ask a "Latino" their country of origin, I just ask, Como se llamo? -- and I get the biggest smile and reply. Treating a person like a person is much more important than which generic group you label them.

Get Fo Real, "White" People!

Tell you what ... I'll pay for the hooker if that'll help you let a little air out of the balloon. You need to lighten up a bit or you're gonna have a heart attack and someone's gonna be lowering you into your grave (probably dug by Mexicans, by the way).

The ultimate irony is that I am normally not known as being politically correct. :funn: You guys need to lighten up on me, especially after I acknowledged to 30A Skunkape that I understand now that he meant no harm. Pretty please?

Whatever. No argument here. It's just what I hear being used and I've read more than once in recent years that it is the preferred choice. There's always a new preference, always something more PC. We have a HUGE, and I mean HUGE Hispanic population in the area. Just going by what's accepted around here. No one wants to dis anyone. It's only done out of respect for others.

And, for that matter, I might not be "white" but I sho can get fo real.
