So the OP recognizes that some non-Latinos make derogatory comments to and discriminate against Latinos, but he wants to be given the benefit of the doubt (in the form of Latin love) as an individual. Then, when two Latinos act rudely toward him, he wants “their kind” to get out of America.

This would be a good thread to link to the next time we have a ‘white privilege’ thread in GD.

As I would rule in the case of the OP as well.

I just came to see who was pitting a satisfying salsa. Left confused.

Well, now we are pitting people who don’t like mango in their salsa.

Mango is acceptable in a chutney but never in a salsa.

You cannot make me say the word ‘chutney’.

The aforementioned Sunrise Tacos here in Bangkok does have an amazingly good mango salsa, and it is _not_ a chutney. I don’t have any recipes though.

And pineapple on pizza is heavenly.

I just had some salsa with peaches and pineapple in it which was very hot and delicious. Fruit in salsa is lovely.

Pineapple on pizza, on the other hand…

I do have a recipe for pineapple marinated with tequilla on the grille if anyone is interested.

So you don’t even put tomatos on your pizza? 😉
