Even better, she uses the derogatory term “gringos” to describe Americans.
Via Daily Caller:
Another Cinco de Mayo has already come and gone this week, but not without a Mexican student instructing Americans in USA Today not to celebrate by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as shortening the word guacamole and purchasing ponchos.
The self-appointed authority on how Americans should conduct themselves while celebrating the highly Americanized Cinco de Mayo holiday is Dani Marrero, a Mexican student who grew up in Texas and currently attends college in Boston. […]
Instead of buying this “racist garment,” Marrero suggests going “to the nearest bookstore” for “books by Chicano/as, memoirs by Mexican-Americans.” “Find out who Gloria Anzaldúa is,” she further commands. (Gloria Anzaldúa was an obscure feminist and queer theorist who believed learning a country’s language is “linguistic terrorism.”) […]
Marrero’s third politically-correct demand is her most bizarre: “Stop calling guacamole ‘guac.’” Her argument is that guacamole, as a word, “has significance as it comes from indigenous Nahuatl language, so please make the effort to pronounce it in its entirety.”
Less than two percent of Mexico’s population speaks Nahuatl (once known as Aztec). People who do tend to be extremely poor and live in rural areas. For almost the entire 20th century, the Mexican government mandated Spanish language education in schools and strongly discouraged Nahuatl and other indigenous languages.
