A good many conservative hispanic FReepers would resent the use of this term, including my wife and her WWII veteran father.

If you are part of the taco brigade that supports Treyvon then what are you concerned about?
The taco brigade in action.
Latino organizations dismiss George Zimmerman, question his ethnicity

“Todos somos Trayvon! (We are all Trayvon!),”
Putting aside my general disgust at PCness and annoyance over the fact that only certain groups ever get to be offended, I will agree that referring to individual latinos/hispanics/whatever as being part of “the taco brigade” would be wrong. But when you have agitprop groups playing off their racial/ethnic makeup for political gain, it is perfectly acceptable to make fun of their racial/ethnic makeup, in my opinion. More than acceptable, actually, necessary. Race is too effective a silencer to be misused, and people who misappropriate it deserve to be ridiculed.
You can’t hide lefty ideals and Democrat hacksmanship behind the racial shield, no sir. And if that’s bad pragmatically, so be it. Minorities already don’t vote conservatively, and playing the PC game will only make it harder to recruit them, since libs are infinitely better at it.
