The 'That Mexican Thing' meme originated during the 2016 United States Vice Presidential debate between Mike Pence and Tim Kaine. When Kaine repeatedly brought up Donald Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants, Pence dismissively retorted, 'You whipped out that Mexican thing again.' The phrase immediately went viral on social media, sparking a massive backlash and a wave of satirical memes. Users quickly reclaimed the phrase to celebrate Mexican-American heritage or to mock dismissive political rhetoric. Today, the meme serves as a shorthand for capturing moments of out-of-touch condescension or highlighting cultural pride in the face of political controversy.
