I believe the phrase is

Hoist on your own petard

Literally no one is upset about this. You are projecting your own weird issues onto others.

Could you be a bigger troll? Not to mention, Goya IS an American company. Begone.

You are out of touch with the republicans core...rino.

Not at all. You seem to have difficulty understanding what an American company is.

Bingo. I never pay attention to boycotts. So much virtue signaling, so little time.

Goya is $1.39 a can at safeway. Most of their stuff is a lot more expensive. The company pushes Hispanic culture at higher prices and endorses trump and company who hate Hispanic people and culture. The company has a history of wrapping itself in Hispanic culture as a marketing tool but stops there.

It's moronic comments like the above which out you as a completely clueless partisan liberal who doesn't actually associate with anyone outside of your liberal bubble. Trump, his administration, and his voters do not hate Hispanic people or their culture (OR their food). They are against illegal immigration, period.

Your idiocy has made me really hungry for some Mexican food tonight.

Purely anecdotal and a relatively small subset (only a few dozen people) but still noteworthy. I was curious what the sentiment outside our circle was like. Will be curious to see what the longer term effect on the company will be after the first month or two of people who are just making a political stance give that up.

This is just too funny. You are correct that your tiny sampling is anecdotal, but wrong about it being "noteworthy." It's not. But it is amusing that you thought so.

Trump's history of cutting back legal immigration, especially restrictions on asylum claims from Latin America demonstrates that the "he's only against illegal immigration" line has always been a lie.

This ENTIRE thread is anecdotal. It's funny how the ONE PERSON who actually did gather data is being dismissed.

OP, you are incorrect. That is not anecdotal data. It's non-random sampling. So a little better than anecdotal.

Wegmans products are just as good and cheaper. I almost never buy Goya anyway.

Your Latino friends from MD, who are active in Latino groups, are probably not representative of the Latino population of the US. They almost certain skew farther to the left than most.

This.

Most Latinos do well in this country because we work hard. We don't join "MD Latino groups" except to play FUTBOL!!!!!

I don't know how Latinos all around the country feel about Goya, but, I know that they mostly vote D, and don't like Trump.

Work hard and you can also afford nice things. Laziness and jealousy won’t get you far.

Remember that your white brats will work for the Hispanic majority in 2050.

That's not how it works.

No that will be how it works. The cosseted children of today have no idea of discipline or hard work. They will slack their way through 6 years of a worthless college degree and will work for second generation Hispanic entrepreneurs who will save the economy

Trump wants certain types of immigrants - white, educated, well off.. someone from..oh, Finland, for example. He doesn't want uneducated people, like his mother who was a maid when she immigrated to the US. He would be ok with uneducated "models" though, like his wife #3, even if they lie on their green card application to get citizenship.

This is why he only hires H2B workers from Eastern Europe over Americans in FL, many who apply to his resorts for jobs who are not white.

Yep rino...you have no idea what core republicans think. Your response is just more gaslighting. Republicans think Goya is a Spanish company. They are pissed trump is pushing Hispanic culture instead of American culture. Republicans values = white supremacists.
