Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faces criticism for jokingly discussing "white guy tacos" in a campaign video, leading to accusations of racial stereotyping.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz found himself in hot water after jokingly discussing his "white guy tacos" with running mate Kamala Harris in a campaign video. Walz claimed that the top spice level in Minnesota is black pepper, which sparked criticism from some viewers who accused him of peddling racial stereotypes and mocking white people for not likening spicy food. Walz's comment about "white guy tacos" containing only ground beef and cheese has also faced scrutiny, with some pointing out that he had previously won a recipe contest for a spicy dish in 2016. The incident highlights the Republicans' tendency to find reasons to criticize Harris and Walz.
