Is it racist to say Taco Bell is meant for white people?

Just a casual reminder that this guy is a Mexican, raised in Mexico City.

Looked it up (under "Early life" on Wikipedia). Born in Washington D.C. actually, but his father is of Mexican and Hungarian-Jewish descent and the family lived his first 7 years in Mexico.

Born in Washington D.C. actually

That's actually the reason I couldn't use the phrase "born & bred", because it would've been inaccurate. However, it is accurate to say he's Mexican (has dual US & Mexico citizenship) and grew up (spent most of his formative years) in Mexico City.

Edit whops I said "raised in" not "grew up in".

Since it is TexMex, a food that was practically invented for white people, I would say no.

No, it's just a reflection of their target audience/corporate strategy.
