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.

    Usually that's caused by different water when traveling. Often not even bad water, just different.

    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.
