MSNBC Celebrates Cinco de Mayo By Engaging in Ethnic Stereotyping

What If Fox News Instead of MSNBC Had Pulled This Cinco de Mayo Stunt? (NewsBusters)

¡Ay caramba! Imagine the cries of offensive ethnic stereotyping or worse if Fox News had observed Cinco de Mayo by having one of its yanqui persons of pallor staggering across the set in a sombrero while chugging from a pint bottle of tequila?

But it happened on MSNBC, so the PC police probably won't make a peep about it.  At the today's transition from Way Too Early to Morning Joe, there was producer Louis Burgdorf with his Halloween-store sombrero and pint bottle.  Way Too Early host Thomas Roberts told him he "had to drink the whole thing and eat the worm," meaning either it might have been mezcal not tequila, or perhaps Roberts just doesn't know his south-of-the-border booze.
