Salmonella or Backlash July 22, 2008

Turns out that the recent salmonella outbreak had nothing to do with tomatoes, that the culprit is Mexican-grown jalapeno peppers.
When the outbreak first started, and tomatoes were suspected, there was one instance on the nightly cable talk shows that some spokesmouth for some diversity policy center (not the usual ADL/SPLC deja le meme chose) said that he hoped that the incident wouldn’t mean bigotry and violence against Mexican migrants. Up until then, nobody of any consequence cited Mexicans or Mexican-Americans, but this proved that some thought that some were. One of his points was that tomatoes grow everywhere, and might have had nothing to do with Mexico.
There you go — this crazy society is more worried about racial diversity than food safety. That some people caught salmonella is just those few eggs that have to be broken to make Lenin’s omelet.
Now that jalapenos seem to be the cause, now we’re told not to blame Mexico, because they were processed in a McAllen, Texas plant. As if McAllen, Texas isn’t already Mexico.
Also it’s just a matter of time until LaRaza/LULAC/MALDEF start fretting about another pretend backlash.
