The National Association of Hispanic Journalists on Monday night said Biden and her speech writers ought to "better understand the complexities of our people.""We are not tacos. Our heritage as Latinos ... should not be reduced to a stereotype," the association had said. Throughout New York City, convenience stores known as bodegas are often run by Dominican or Puerto Rican merchants. Biden mispronounced the word as "bogotas."
