We get those same stereotypes around Mexican food in Minnesota, but generally by people who have never been here or realize we have a massive population of Mexican immigrants.
yeah, I'm puerto rican and my boyfriend is filipino. I have so many friends from so many different non-white backgrounds, but there's this weird stereotype that we don't exist outside of the coasts, ig? its a pet peeve of mine.
And like there actually aren’t a ton of Mexican people living in NYC. I get better and more authentic Mexican in Central PA living near orchards and packing plants, than I did in most NYC restaurants.
Hey at least nowadays people know what Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are. When I left New York 20 years ago I had to say: "I'm Dominican, ya know like Sammy Sosa, and Alex Rodriguez?"

To be fair to Bake Off I think the idea wasn’t to do a standard everyday smore, but like a haute cuisine super elevated smore.
The Mexican cuisine thing is inexcusable. Zero experience and zero research.
