It's all in the head, but very true. I walked into a Mexican restaurant once and seen a bunch of white folks (whiter than my very white self!) doing the serving. I told my husband that I was disappointed because they wouldn't be the real thing. Would you know they were indeed Hispanics from Mexico!?! They couldn't even speak English! They were just white. Oh, yeah, and the food was SUPER!I hear that our Chinese food is not authentic in America, also, but most of us haven't been there to try it. They say we probably wouldn't eat the real stuff... and they are probably right! Mexico, on the other hand, is closer, many of us have been there, and the food is closer so it comes in still authentic. Taco Bell is good, authentic or not, but it is a food in it's own class. If you are from a non-hispanic area, it is more Mexican than McDonald's, but say, in Texas, it is probably considered to be very Americanized.
