Tim Walz’s naive remark about “white guy tacos” made in a conversation with Kamala Harris sparks debate on social media.
Tim Walz and Kamala Harris stirred up some controversy with their “white guy tacos” joke in a now-viral video that was uploaded on August 15. Harris appeared prepared to liven things up until Walz’s tasteless revelation left her “shocked” and in stitches during their campaign discussion. This was after Harris had admitted that he had eaten unseasoned meat. But judging by the Internet discussion of the possible “White House flavors,” it appears that Harris may not be the only one who feels unsatisfied after hearing about tacos.
Harris-Walz and the ‘white guy taco’
Another promotional film starring the Democratic contender and her choice for vice president was released by the Harris campaign on Thursday. When the two talk about cuisine in the video, Walz shares his Midwesterner tastes, which include his “white guy taco.”
Walz adds, “I have tacos for white guys.” What does that signify, exactly? Like tuna and mayonnaise? How are you spending your time? In response, Harris makes a lighthearted joke at the governor of Minnesota, remarking, “Pretty much ground meat and cheese.”
“Do you put any flavor in it?” Harris says, trying hard not to laugh out loud. Walz answers, “Oh, no.” When the Vice President saw that Walz only thought of flavoring his food by adding cheese, it was obvious that he was displeased. With a laugh, Walz says, “I’m just not much of a spice guy.”
“Black pepper is the pinnacle of spice in Minnesota,” he continues, adding, that he says he wants to try other foods. They advised being cautious and informing her of this. In Minnesota, black pepper is the spicier variety. Harris tells him that they have some cantaloupes and assures him that they can do this. “You will be fine.”

Social media reacts to Harris-Walz’s promotional video
After beginning as a lighthearted dig at Walz’s food preferences, the comment was quickly taken out of context on social media, with many criticizing the remarks as “racist and disgusting.” Some were annoyed by the jokes, but others applauded the film as a “great piece of communication,” emphasizing the “natural conversation, friendship, and authenticity.”
“What a repulsive and bigoted combination of individuals who genuinely aspire to be the head of state in the United States. When Walz says he likes “white people’s” tacos, Kamala interprets this as meaning “mayonnaise and tuna.” On a fucking taco? Is it true that Kamala serves her husband, a white man, mayonnaise tacos? An irate X user commented.
Whoever you are, you have to admit that this exchange between Tim Walz and Kamala Harris is realistic. Another applauded the two for their friendship and camaraderie, saying, “They are us.” But few appeared to be pleased by Walz. “Talk about Tim Walz all you want, but at last, someone is bringing attention to the white man taco problem that has been plaguing the Midwest for decades. This should be a reason for celebration in America, and the healing process can now start.”
‘Tim Walz is lying about liking white guy tacos.’
Referring to his meal that won an award, Mike Cernovich commented, “I decided to see if Tim Walz, who is such a compulsive liar and deployment dodger, lied about not seasoning his food.” The ostensibly innocuous conversation set off a full-blown Republican collapse. The vice presidential candidate was criticized for lying to the public about his tastes, particularly after Walz’s Turkey Taco Tot Hotdish took top place in the 2016 “Hotdish Off” competition. Don’t worry, there are spices in this dish.
