Out of curiosity, I once simmered beef necks in plain salt water until they were tender, shredded and then placed it under the broiler until crispy. Then I served it on corn tortillas (brushed a skillet with canola oil and fried until warm) with cilantro, diced onion and a bottle of salsa verde (pic related).

Verdict: every bit as good as the taco trucks.

Next time I seasoned the water with cumin, a quartered onion, and garlic cloves. Better, but only a bit. Next I tried broth and all kinds of other tricks.

Honestly, it's poorfag food, and you are probably best not to over think it. I think boiling a bunch of meat yields decent results.

People have this idea that the Mexicans are employing ancient secrets passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. It's just not true.

No, not really. They make up a much lower percentage of the population here than in many other parts of the US. Have you spent any time out west?

Douchebag hipster detected. Hostile customers don't automatically make a restaurant good, they were probably staring at you because you smell bad and were acting weird.

In addition, there are Mexican joints all over Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, where the clientele is almost all Mexican. The food still tastes like ass, because they cater to a very poor population of underground illegals, and they need to keep the prices as low as humanly possible by using shit ingredients and keeping stuff around past its prime.

I'm saying this as someone who has lived a minimum of several years in every region of the US except the deep south, and in Mexico.

Mexican food here in NY sucks and it has nothing to do with your dirty hipster fantasies.

Or how about because they are racist immigrants that want to keep to themselves? Ever think of that one? Of course not, you probably think only white people can be racist, in fact you probably call it "reverse" racism if it is against a white person because you believe minorities lack the capacity to act that way and it must be the big mean white man who brought it on himself.

In my world, which is a fairly diverse place (I'm sorry, I mean a Culturally Marxist hell on earth), most people just want to go about their lives. Business people just want to run their business. Maybe you live in some place where there's serious racial tension all the time (for example, I haven't lived in the deep south but on my brief visits there I saw a lot of Confederate flags). But in most places I know (west coast, northeast, midwest) it is quite easy for anyone to walk into a restaurant run by people of another ethnicity, eat the food happily, and leave.

So, is there a chance that these Asians wanted to stab you with bullets strictly because of your race? I suppose there is that chance. But the simpler explanation is that, in a public place, when one person is being singled out as the asshole, it's because that person is being an asshole.

Enjoy your delusions of persecution.

Confirmed for never venturing into ethnic communities. It is not uncommon to walk into places and if you are anything other than their key demographic they even have a special area for you off in the corner because they don't want you intermingling with their people. Even in places that do not rush other races out, they bundle them all in one section.

You clearly don't live in NYC if you don't think there is racial tension, there are certain areas that still today you just don't go if you don't belong there.

You clearly have never been to NYC and your knowledge of the city is based on hanging out on stormfront and /k/.

I've had race-obsessed white friends like you, I couldn't take them anywhere because they'd make a big fucking deal whenever they had to walk past a crowd of black teenagers, and there would be drama. Sometime kind of scary drama. So I stopped hanging out with them because I don't have the patience for that shit.

This isn't a race issue... or to put it more accurately, this isn't someone else's race issue. YOU are the reason why you're not liked by minorities because you bristle visibly at the sight of them. You may think people don't notice but they do. It's ugly, it's embarrassing, and you need to do a better job of controlling it.

Everyone has their feelings about other races, that doesn't make you a bad person. What makes you an unpleasant person to be around is that you wear those feelings on your sleeve because you've never been to this "real world" that you keep rambling on about.

Call me a troll or a sheltered child or whatever, as I'm sure you will, but some part of you knows that I'm speaking god's own truth. It would be in your interests to fix this issue of yours, if you want to be successful in business.

Thirded. I'm an average white guy. I've been subject to racism (especially from blacks) all my life. One part in particular stuck out to me:

>if you are anything other than their key demographic they even have a special area for you off in the corner because they don't want you intermingling with their people

First and last time I went to a Vietnamese restaurant to order some pho (wanted to see what the big deal was about), they seated me by the front door in a nearly empty restaurant (worse place, in my opinion), and gave me your typical American spoon instead of the normal chopsticks and soup spoon it's eaten with. No bean sprouts, no thai basil, no green peppers. Two Vietnamese girls come in and are seated in a much better place. Lo and behold, their soup comes out with all the expected accoutrements and utensils.

I received surprise and utter shock when I pointed it out.

I know what the apologists are going to say. The typical American isn't going to know how to use chopsticks, is going to waste the garnishments, etc. Well, fuck you, that's prejudice (making a decision before becoming aware of the relevant facts of a case) and bad service. All you have to do is /ask/.

I said earlier I previously lived in other parts of the country. I've been here for 15 years, long enough to know what the city is like now, and probably, if you're an undergrad, longer than you've known the city as an adult.

I know the tension you are referring to, and I also know the kind of tension your type brings with you everywhere you go. You're the kind that causes problems and blames minorities when you were the one acting out of line. You talk to people with respect and you get respect in return. Even in, ESPECIALLY in "wrong neighborhoods".

I'm a white guys from CT and live in a mostly white suburb outside of Hartford.

There are tons of places that are fine. People get so scared of going into the city but a buddy of mine lives in the West end of Hartford which is pretty diverse. Pretty much an even mix of whites, blacks, hispanics. Not many asians.

I've never had any problems in his area even at night but it's honestly a safe area. I've never been hassled but there are definitely places in the city I would not go late at night and where I have heard of people being harassed just for walking through.

I agree with this guy.

I've lived in southern Texas all my life, and I'm just about as white as I can be. The schools I grew up in were almost all-mexican, and my community now is more than two-thirds mexican. I don't speak a single word of spanish, or even care to learn, yet I am never faced with racism just for being different. I don't even think about cultural or racial differences, I just thank them for the damn good greasy ass tacos and pay them for taking care of my garden. Of course there were always a racist few but the easiest way to handle that was avoid them. I do not believe that other races single out whites just due to the fact they're white, but they do single out whites who are rude or stupid. Maybe that's the problem some of you are having.

Go to Capitol Hill in Oklahoma City, let me know how that works out for you.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but acting as if there aren't tracts of the population that are ethnically and culturally insular be they black, white, Hispanic, Asian, or whatever, is hilariously naive and incorrect.

And it really has nothing to do with how you act when you're there, or if you're even "there" at all. Some people are just very insular that way, and they don't really care to have people outside their own ethnicity/race/culture in their neighborhood or place of business.

Maybe they guy you're talking to is just subconsciously racist or otherwise obsessed with race and he acts in some way that throws up flags in people's heads.

But pretending like there aren't places in this country - or in other countries - where you might be treated differently because you don't share the race. ethnicity, or culture with the inhabitants is not only absurd, its a patently erroneous statement.

I must have hit a nerve my Republicunt friend. Don't worry, your party of choice will soon be embracing gay rights and progressive immigrant policies for votes.

and? america has a history of predjudice and biggotry that is unfailingly large, take your bashing of leftists for example. typically speaking, the left has KICKED SCREAMED SCRATCHED AND FOUGH TOOTH AND NAIL against both itself, and the opposition (you/the right) to eek the human rights promised but not delivered by our country. AND EVERY SINGLE TIME people who considered themselves liberal fought against it. the idea always had to sell to the free thinkers. Give the middle class the right to vote THEY DESERVE IT! but those same people will be furious if the poor get the same treatment. oneupmanship is a huge part of american and human culture in general. before you complain about racism, why dont you join a political ideology that actually has to fight against it. Considering this might challenge your retarded racist views about middle eastern people and the rest of the world, I'll understand if you don't. To get furious at your behavior is to turn my back against the whole world and everyone I love.
