The job of this scrawny, nearly hairless dog is to get people like you and me to eat the tacos, burritos and other would-be delicacies peddled by the fast food chain, Taco Bell. Now I'm not big on chihuahuas, or fast food tacos for that matter. But this dog Dinky apparently has his fans. It turns out, however, that not everybody is charmed by Dinky.
Some people even find the dog offensive and are starting to protest.
And in any case, it's far from clear that most Latin Americans go along with Cazares and his outrage over Dinky. They couldn't understand why anyone would be offended. But it's not only Mexican-Americans who don't like Dinky. Frito-Lay soon retired the Frito Bandito from active service. When Asian-American groups protested, the restaurant dropped the coolie figure in a flash.
