I’ve heard it enough, 20 years ago and today, to know this to be true. However, the even bigger truth to me was that this is exactly how people like this talk. No one challenged it, and so the understanding is that Tijuana is, indeed, all those things even though the same terms could be used to describe a Buffalo Wild Wings under certain conditions. Also, did you know they invented the Caesar salad in this bustling cultural destination?”īut as it stood, Tijuana being “gross,” dangerous and a den of perversions was taken at face value. I do think there’s a higher likelihood that there would be at least one character, most likely non-white, who would chime in with a “that’s pretty offensive, dawg. And second of all, I would hope that there would be more sensitivity to how the Tijuana scenes were portrayed.” “First of all, it wouldn’t be an all-white cast. “I’d like to think we progressed a little bit in our attitudes, and that episode would not fly today, written like that and shot like that and acted like that,” she told me. In my interview with Madeleine Brand, she remarked that this probably wouldn’t happen now.
