A little is an understatement, Dude.

There are more than a few who do not believe in this misperceived elitist
rhetoric, nor is there any logic or reason to limit Mexican foods to the
Tropic of Cancer and below either. Perhaps it is some sense of snobbish
quantification, yet the "Mexican" foods they limitedly discuss all involved
a post conquest Spanish Influence, go figure. Old Mexican, New Mexican,
Nuevo Latino, it is all good, those that want to continue to classify Tacos
& Tamales as Peasant food not worthy of discussion, or Fajitas and
Chimichunga as an American abomination, well?? just remember they are not
cooks they are pretentious grommets. Pretty stupid ass gringo thinking for
someone to reclassify someone who was born, raised and lived as a Mexican
based on where s/he lived in the Republic Mexico is it not? Or even in the
SW US where they have lived since before them white boy pilgrims came along.
You know the saying, You White, You Right.
