Pulse of the FFA - How big a mistake did Chipotle make here? (1 Viewer)

[Spanky267]

I find it hilarious that Sarah Silverman is considered a cultural leader by Chipotle. I think I'd be more offended by that.

Maybe I missed it, but did Chipotle say they consider Silverman a cultural leader? It seems like the press is trying to make this cultural. Chipotle was trying to put some 'interesting' thoughts or quotes on their cups.

Really I could care less one way or the other. I dont go to Chipotle, I prefer Moe's and I dont even go there that often. There is an authentic mexican place far closer to my home than either of those eateries. What I find funny is that Chipotle either couldnt find or didnt have the sense to find one Latino to use in the campaign. Ozzie Guillen would have been good for a quip or two. I realize he isnt Mexican but most Americans think that "Latino's" are some big monolithic group anyway.

Has Tim posted in this thread yet? If he is not offended, nobody will be.

He used his Joe Bryant alias to start the thread.

I always find it strange that people get offended by other people getting offended.

I think the news forgets this some times, but just because some people are offended by something doesn't mean that it is offensive.

The lame stream media stayed away from this story. I think the tide is turning, in the past Obama and his news cronies would have been all over this. But now they knew better than to try to report that to us.

Honestly, some people live to be offended.

I'm failing to see the issue with this.

Chipotle demonstrating their utter lack of awareness of Latino culture....

What I don't really understand is why anyone expected them to have any awareness of Latino culture.....because they serve tacos and burritos? Because it's named Chipotle? If this country has proven anything to us time and time again, it's how unaware we are as a nation.

If they would have gotten Mexicans, people would have been offended that they were being racist by saying that only Mexicans could sell tacos or burritos.

I agree that would have probably happened but I'm offended that you just pointed it out.

I prefer to buy my tacos from the back of a truck in the Home depot parking lot.
