Defenders of truth and liberty are rising up in response to the apparently controversial taco emoji.
L.A. Taco at First We Feast believes that our smartphones are taking part in cultural racism with the release of this corporate, Americanized taco emoji.
There wasn’t always an emoji for tacos — but there were five sushi emojis, First We Feast reported.
The fight for taco equality started with a petition, Twitter campaign and T-shirt from Taco Bell.
And thus was born our iconic taco emoji.
But it turned out that the much-anticipated emoji was only the product of an evil marketing agreement between Apple, Android, and Taco Bell. And First We Feast has taken up the good fight to bring back true tacos to our iPhones.
An honest taco is hard to find. The controversy goes back hundreds of years. First We Feast defines an authentic taco as “a Mexican taco, therefore, and one that combines some sort of filling inside of a tortilla.”
Thus, the taco emoji does not rightly depict a taco, rather, it shows a Taco Bell taco. L.A. Taco and First We Feast will not rest until this injustice is settled.
This is the battle of our generation.
