    I’m American and have never had an issue eating Mexican food and I eat it like three times per week. It’s just a bullshit, hack joke rooted in racism that somehow still proliferates.

      Yeah, the only time it makes sense is when you go to Mexico and get Montezuma’s revenge because I guess my American digestive tract is weak af. My brother lived in Mexico City for a few years. First time I thought it was a bad hangover. Second time thought I ate something funny. Third time I accepted it. And that was it, so apparently you just gotta accept it.

          Right, just different amoebas and whatnot, if I can put on my science hat. I either eventually got used to it or successfully avoided the water, but we will unfortunately never know for sure.
