Food is deeply ingrained in cultural identity, and is one way to learn about a community’s heritage, familial customs and values. In the U.S., Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines, with 1 in 10 restaurants serving Mexican, according to recent findings from the Pew Research Center. This trend reflects an expanding Mexican American population, with 37.2 million people or 11.2% of the U.S. population tracing their ancestry back to Mexico.

    About to order some Mexican food right now.

    I can’t imagine how fucking boring food would be if white nationalists had their way. No thanks.

      I did look into this once. People do have an ambiguity tolerance which links well with our ability to handle diversity. If you are okay with a situation you don’t fully grasp you can try new situations. My question was if we could see human government history through this lense. If the rulers happened to have low tolerance they passed different rules vs ones that had high tolerance.
