Target Store Put On Blast After Giving Workers Chips And Salsa For Hispanic Heritage Month

A new viral TikTok has one Target location in hot water after it was revealed that that location's idea of a celebration for Hispanic Heritage Month amounted to nothing more than chips and salsa.

Open and empty bags of Tostitos sit next to open jars of salsa on a break room table in the video, with a plaque for Hispanic Heritage Month front and center of the table.



Much like @jessicasilvaa01, the woman who posted the video, most of TikTok was not amused.

National Hispanic Heritage month is celebrated from Sept. 15-Oct. 15 In United States, signed into law as a single week by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.

The month is designed to recognize the "great contribution to our national heritage made by our people of Hispanic descent -- not only in the fields of culture, business, and science, but also through their valor in battle."

The term "Hispanic" specifically refers to people with a connection to Spain, the Spanish language, or of or belonging to a group of regions titled the "Hispanidad"--a group of countries that share a connection to Spain.

The graphic utilized for the Target Hispanic Heritage Month plaque showcases the Brazilian flag on the dress of the woman-figure wearing it; but folks from Brazil are NOT included under the term "Hispanic" as Brazil is a Portuguese country.

Target has not commented on its choice, despite being widely condemned by the TikTok community at large for their very unsatisfactory celebration of the cultural offerings of the Hispanic community.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
