Liz Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 This is so cute. We are trying to find one for my son. A chihuahua, not necessarily a special forces one.

Dr. Shane Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 I believe Taco Bell stopped using the chihuahua because many Mexican-Americans felt it was racist. I am not sure how it offended them but the ads didn't go over well in the Mexican-American community. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity

I am not sure how it offended them but the ads didn't go over well in the Mexican-American community. But... tacos- aren't they Mexican? not sure how the chihuahua would be out of order. I don't think the dog is any more stereotypical than the food, but I might be mistaken Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Amelia Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 So, is that offensive? The Chihuahua is a bread from Mexico. He is dressed in scuba gear. Is calling the dog a Mexican Navy Seal offensive? How? Maybe Mexico doesn't have a Navy or Navy Seals?

Dr. Shane Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I didn't think the advertisements were offensive. I got into a little disagreement with one of the members of a Hispanic church where I was an elder about it. I was not even able to grasp where he was coming from but I know a lot of others thought like him. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity
