I can see that, but the Tar baby dolls is something obvious in my opinion.
That's because, as Mexican as you are, you've still been inducted into the White Culture.  You've been trained to seek victimhood and to cultivate victim status in everyone you see.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Never had a secretary so can't comment on that, but it sure is a lot easier getting up in the morning for work when there's a nice looking broad there.

It's a lot easier getting to sleep the night before if you are not worried about some horrible disaster happening because papers are not filed properly and deadlines are not properly noted up.  ;)

When I found the right secretary, I jealously defended her. I made sure she didn't get poached by other managers.

Until recently, the small group I work with has had horrible secretary troubles - a succession of ladies who really were either crazy, drunk, or simply not up to the task.

We had two good secretaries, but one got too elderly to keep up and left for an easier practice, and the other quit.

Then we had one good secretary we got was nuts and ended up in a punching, hair-pulling battle royale with the other, not so good (but more sane) secretary. Both left.

Then there was the hispanic woman number one who was useless and had some physical disability that required long absenses. One day she disappeared and never came back.

Then there was hispanic woman number two, who had mysterious long absences from work, culminating in tearful phone messages, obviously drunk. She didn't last.

To be replaced by a poor Black lady just out of secretary school, who was as far as anyone could tell completely illiterate. She didn't last, either.   

Now we have a cougar of a secretary, very competent. Hope she lasts.

Chipotle sucks and is a huge ripoff.  By this time next year, I'll have once again forgotten and will go back again.

Chipotle = awesomeness.  I don't care if it's not truly 100% authentic the-way-mexicans-eat-it food, but they use good ingredients and it is (unlike most real Mexican restaurants) very fresh.  I've heard the place dissed an awful lot, but never hear anything specific on why it was so 'bad'.

I ate there one time and it seemed exactly the same as every other burrito chain in the country.

Good to know.  I'll keep that in mind when I'm in my 70s :P

Yi: I suppose it may depend on what type of burrito I get.  I always get a fajita burrito (with green peppers & onions), no beans, and with either chicken or steak, with green or red tomatillo salsa, lettuce, & cheese.  Have not found another burrito place or Mexican restaurant that can come close to Chipotle on that.
