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.

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.

KFC should do a “Mexican” seasoning crispy chicken.

I just got an idea for a meetup group...

KFC changed it's name from Kentucky fried chicken to KFC to distance itself from Kentucky (and the word "fried" to a lesser extent)

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.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

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.
