Interesting that my question relating to an acquired cultural tendency,
in my case Mexican food, despite lineage, wasn't acknowledged by DE,

Just shows that he's more of a trivial nuisance than any source of great

You should know the difference between US adaptations of Mexican ingredients
(burritos, chili con carne, etc.) and real Mexican food. Any effort to
identify with Mexico without knowing that is, let's say, a fatal flaw.
