Food is deeply ingrained in cultural identity, and is one way to learn about a community’s heritage, familial customs and values. In the U.S., Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines, with 1 in 10 restaurants serving Mexican, according to recent findings from the Pew Research Center. This trend reflects an expanding Mexican American population, with 37.2 million people or 11.2% of the U.S. population tracing their ancestry back to Mexico.
About to order some Mexican food right now.
I can’t imagine how fucking boring food would be if white nationalists had their way. No thanks.
Tacos are like, the best food.
I’m not even sure I know what white nationalist food is.
If Undercover Brother is any indication: White people eat foods that are white.
I did look into this once. People do have an ambiguity tolerance which links well with our ability to handle diversity. If you are okay with a situation you don’t fully grasp you can try new situations. My question was if we could see human government history through this lense. If the rulers happened to have low tolerance they passed different rules vs ones that had high tolerance.
I mean American food is just British food plus corn.
Who puts corn on a hamburger?
White people co-opting Mexican cuisine.
You’re tryring too hard there because you need to then accuse the Mexicans of stealing the Hamburger, which was invented in the US.
Did all the Americans here have their beans and corn for breakfast, as is tradition?
I’m afraid that the food in the UK is known to be horrid. Much of the food tradition surely came from places like England, Germany, Italy, parts of Africa, etc. In the end, though, these people had to use the ingredients they found here and that’s where food went its own way.
I suspect it’s got as much to do with Mexican/texmex food being fuckin good as it does with an increasing Latin American population.
Yeah, I agree. Their premise is faulty. Places serve tacos and quesadillas because they’re cheap and easy to produce and many Americans like them, not simply because there are more Latinos in the US.
Now, if they said that there are more independent family-owned Mexican restaurants, I would consider that a bit more compelling.
Are Mexican food places really about an increasing Mexican population? 10% seems about right for the general interest. Kinda seems like a clickbait article for conservatives. What is the other 90%?
Totally clickbait. Japan has a lot of KFC restaurants, but not a lot of people from Kentucky.
30% of the Japanese population originates from Kentucky. You don’t have to look it up. And if someone asks you for a reference, you can use this comment.

I just got an idea for a meetup group…
KFC should do a “Mexican” seasoning crispy chicken.
Yeah, it seems to assume an increase in Mexican food’s popularity must come from Mexicans, when it can easily be explained by how Mexican food’s really fuckin good.
More Mexican food means more Mexicans!!!
Would you like to ban Mexican food?
NO It’s my freedom to have whatever food I want!!!
But, it would make the Mexicans leave.
FREEEEEDOOMMMMM!!!
If that bs were true than there’s apparently a lot more Chinese living in the Midwest than I thought.
I’m white AF. I’m currently in line for my second of the same burrito I had for lunch.
Mexican food is a beautiful thing
We need more Mexicans in Australia, all we have is crappy Taco Bill

Now you’ve made Taco Bill sad. He may not be Mexican but he loves tacos as much as anyone!
