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.
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.
Would you like to ban Mexican food?
But, it would make the Mexicans leave.
If that bs were true than there’s apparently a lot more Chinese living in the Midwest than I thought.
