Anecdotally, I eat quite a lot of Taco Bell because I am poor and they have inexpensive options with veggies.
I also am predisposed to all sorts of digestive upset.
Taco Bell does not give me diarrhea.
[..]
If you're unfamiliar, "MSG is bad" is basically based in anti-East Asian racism.
Similarly, "OMG cheap Mexican* fast food gives you diarrhea". Where do we think that comes from?
*White supremacists are not exactly known for accuracy on this.
[..]
I should clarify that I'm from the Midwest which means I get to know a lot of opinions of white people who have mostly been able to choose not to significantly engage with anything non-white.
That is and has been changing for most of my life, but.
[..]
Tangential-but-related.
When my dad got the job in NW Arkansas in 1999, I went down with my parents to see the area and look at houses.
The white real estate agent told us about La Huerta, an authentic Mexican restaurant. She said, "We call it 'La Hurt Ya'." And laughed.
[..]
I'm going to suggest people started making the association between Mexican food and dietary upset because of
a. beans
b. racist ideas about cleanliness.
[..]
Anyway. I'm not trying to market for Taco Bell or anything. Although I do want Nacho Fries to always be on the menu and also $1 Nacho Tacos.
And also sour cream and tomatoes should not cost so much more.
I just get interested in the intersection of food and white supremacy.

I didn't post them all. It's a lengthy thread

The thing about MSG is true and definitely rooted in racism, but I've never heard anyone accuse Taco Bell of having to much MSG in it.

The thing about Mexican food giving you diarrhea is rooted in tourists getting food poisoning in Mexico, usually from improperly treated water, and has nothing to do with racism.

Either way, I always assumed the trope of Taco Bell giving you diarrhea was because it's cheap and shitty fast food served to you by seedy teenagers. That, and eating hot sauce absolutely gives people diarrhea.

You know, a lot of people in Japan eat seafood, since they live on an island and all that shit.

If you're allergic to seafood, does that mean you hate Japanese people with every inch of your soul?

Most American fast food places in general don't do very well over there. I saw a Little Caesars, KFC and a couple McDonald's when I was visiting my family Mexico. My family basically said why tf would they go to any of those places when they can grab better food at a local place for way cheaper.

Yep, and you'll always get some people to agree with you.

The fact that I don't see anyone disagreeing with her is suspicious. Like she's blocking anyone who does.

The problem isn't Mexican food. She says it within like three tweets and doesn't realize it, it's cheaply *made* bullshit Mexican food. Taco bell has this reputation because their food is basically cat food. Very few people will complain about GI issues after eating at a real Mexican joint, and if they do it's a lot more likely that it's their own GI issues and not the food.

I will second this. My family is the same way. They're not wrong.

If you like Mexican food, then wait untilnyou actually try Mexican food from the motherland. Only then will you realize why American Restaurants fail.

This can really be dispelled easily when you consider that Mexicans generally will not eat at taco bell because it's such shit quality. If I rolled up to a bbq my partners family was having with a bag of taco bell they would look at me like an idiot.

There's a sweetener they add to a few ingredients that some people react to as if it were a laxative. The average person mistakes that for diarrhea. It's a real thing however.
