Depending on the conversation - Hispanics are white. So, really nothing has changed. But, within the context of this thread, they are not. We are rather wish-washy when it comes to the Hispanic community.

The word was "salsa" not tomatoes, corn, etc. Unless one considers tomatoes to be the same thing as spaghetti sauce that's a pretty much of a stretch. Salsa is a Mexican/Hispanic condiment and it mostly prevalent in the southwest not the entire country. It is a part of the Hispanic culture and doesn't represent mainstream America's cultural food.

In other words, it's not Real American™ because it doesn't sound American™ like Wienerschnitzel or Sauerkraut does it? So I'm guessing pizza and spaghetti isn't representative of mainstream American™ culture, then?

I think you need to "Katchup"


Salsa has been the United States number one selling condiment since 2006 when sales surpassed.....wait for it..........Katchup.

So sad for you.

That being said I had salsa on my fried eggs and katchup on my country fried taters this morning.

That's Main Stream AMERICA.

Texas? LOL. Salsa predates the Spanish conquistadors.

History Of Salsa Sauce - The Mexican Connection

Pace Picante came from Texas and we all know how authentico that is.
