STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Mother of three Tammy Miller stepped into her local Taco Bell and ordered two Crunchwrap Supremes with a Mountain Dew for a light afternoon snack. She had no idea that on this otherwise uneventful Tuesday, she would have changed history as we knew it and ended racism forever.
Eyewitnesses claim that as the cashier handed Miller a receipt, Miller allegedly expressed her gratitude by using the traditional Spanish phrase “gracias,” roughly translating to “thank you.” This one statement has now moved the lives of many, inspiring millions to emulate this selfless action.
Miller’s bravery has touched hearts around the world, but has had by far the most noticeable impact on the staff of Miller’s local Taco Bell location. Miller’s cashier, Dan O’Sullivan, stated that Miller’s words nearly brought him to tears.
“I wish I could have understood what she said,” he said to a Phollegian reporter, “but her bravery is apparent. Her kindness transcends the language barrier. What an amazing woman.”
Historians widely agree that this is a monumental development in intercultural relations in the United States. Dr. Amelia Wilson, Professor of Sociology at Harvard University, praises this event as the single most impactful display of cultural tolerance and acceptance in the past hundred years.
“I think we can all learn a little about those around us from Ms. Miller,” said Dr. Wilson in a recent interview. “Her actions and fluency serve as an inspiration for all of us.”
MTV has recently approved a reality show documenting Miller’s humanitarian efforts. The first season is set to start filming in January. In an interview on The Ellen Show, Miller credited her middle school foreign language teacher for her extensive knowledge of the language and culture.
When asked by a Phollegian reporter about her feelings on these recent events, Miller remained humble. She shrugged and said, “I’ve just always had a passion for the Mexican language.”
