Taco Bell:
what’s the first thing you think of when you here that?
Mexicans?
Yes, we are native to the south.
Yes, we cross the border.
Yes, we are roof workers.
But underneath all that,
we bring you love culture.
We are
tired of being the
taco-eater-house-cleaner
wife-beater-lazy-fat.
It’s true, but we
come America to
show we are more
than that.
We are the dark caramel that you find
in the center of a Twix.
