    For me, the term "Taco" is associated with a dumb-as-shit friend of mine from long ago, who I try to forget on a daily basis. Tacoma is also a little funner to say/spell. You also won't ever catch me saying "cuz" "u" "R" etc. so maybe we Ma Tacos are just a little particular?

    You could just call a Tacoma a "Tac" as in Sea-Tac (Seattle-Tacoma); personally, I just call it a pickup.

    I don't know about demeaning? I suppose that's in the eye of the beholder... I just always thought it sounded stupid and never use the term.

    I call mine taco just like I call my Camaro "maro" for short. There's nothing wrong with it, it's all good.
    the one thing that gets to me is when ppl say "turd" for TRD.

    I think that saying it like "Ta-co-ma" if you were Asian. Yeah! Then sure I'm sure it could be demeaning or offensive to someone. I don't think the term "Taco" is either, regardless if you're Mexican or Asian.
