Apparently White People Have Been Eating Tamales With The Husk On This Whole Time

"Wait a minute...you're supposed to unroll them?"

A viral tweet has revealed a dark secret: White people have been eating tamales with the husk on.

Yes, that's right, gringos have been eating tamales without unwrapping them, causing the tweeter to wonder if white people should be allowed to have rights at all...

There was even "The Great Tamale Incident" of 1976, when President Gerald Ford ate a tamal without unwrapping it.  Let's just say he wasn't re-elected.
