Flour tortillas for breakfast are so much better than corn; bacon and egg on a flour can't be beat

Mexicans in Texas will make fun of you for any way you eat a taco. People in San Antonio complain about Austin tacos, people on the RGV complain about San Antonio tacos. I hate how much Mexicans guard Mexican food, even though Tex mex is totally different from interior Mexican food.

White people are the only ones who don't gatekeep over food because the only thing anyone cares about when it comes to ethnic cultures is their food (and no one cares about "white people food" outside of twitter where it's used as an insult). If you ask a random person on the street who Quetzalcoatl is they'll just stare blankly at you, but if you ask them what an enchilada is their eyes will light up like a ferris wheel and they'll tell you their favorite filling.

It's also present if you have arguments about illegal immigration or refugees the people who support it will always talk about how great it is that immigration is great because there are so many different food carts and restaurants but ignore statistics about rates of rape or overall crime.

All the local taquerias run by Mexicans who don't speak English serve their breakfast tacos on flour. Non-breakfast tacos tend to be on corn. Fajitas are half-and-half and depend on personal preference. (I prefer flour.)
