The following video, posted two days ago on Facebook, has already gotten over five million views, 74,000 likes and 124,000 shares. It is about 17 seconds long, and it shows a flour tortilla on a record player as “Jarabe Tapatío” (perhaps the most overplayed Mexican song ever) plays on.
What a tortilla sounds like on a record player

That 17-second video, very likely picked up by another outlet, has also led to one very intense Facebook thread. Here is just a sample of the discussion (some NSFW language). First off, those who loved it:
If you’re offended by this, blame it on your parents for raising a pansy.
All the fake Hispanics are saying racist xD
I mean is it racist to put a pizza and make it sound like italian music? Or put a burger patty or whatever and hear some american song? I think it’s funny and clever, I see no wrong in connecting different aspects of a culture together, music and food. It’s clever.
How is this racist? Really I’m Hispanic and i find this funny myself, it’s a joke people get with it
liberal fucks make everything racist. im from the border. ElPaso Tx, a proud beaner, and this shit is funny! im tired of all fake fucks making us look like a bunch of pussies. fuck that!!!
It’s an ethnic fact that this is a Spanish originated food. How is this racist because it’s Spanish music?
Then there are these (which included an image that kept getting posted and posted)
when white ppl try to crack jokes it’s not offensive.
What would the people in suburbs do with racist videos
Yeah we know it’s a silly thing, but think about it: the video clip has gotten over five million views and it has people talking. We’re just bummed that the tortilla didn’t play this instead:
Or this:
Ok, we’re heading back to Facebook to read the rest of the comments.
Another non-issue trying to be raised to something important to talk about – LatinoRebels, if there’s racism, then yes, call it out. If there’s a tortilla paired with Mexican music on a 17 second video, and the “reasonable” Latino can’t appreciate what’s being protested, well, then there’s nothing to complain about and you’re just making noise. Keep up the better part of your work, and thank you.
ElScotto you missed the point that we are offended by this, we are just seriously intrigued by the fact that this video has gotten over 5 million views in 48 hours and has resulted in a rather unfiltered conversation online about portrayals etc. Thanks for reading it and for the kind words about music choices!
The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games
The Babylonian http://633cash.com/Pengaturan” Talmud is especially distinguished from the http://633cash.com/Daftar Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by http://633cash.com/Promo the flights of thought, the penetration of http://633cash.com/Deposit mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H.

And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false.

It is said that even one of the popes was of this Marrano stock.
