  Seeing as it’s so similar to “Montezuma’s Revenge” I’m betting that you’re right, and it’s all just racism.

      Right. I think the “Mexican Food gives you the shits” probably started from people originally saying they got sick (drinking the water) in Mexico, and it stayed the rumor that Mexican food made in the US does the same.

      My bad, I thought you were making an insightful observation. I’ll be sure not to assume that from you in the future.
