Americans are so shit, I wouldn't be surprised if a good majority of them thought Mexican food (i.e Taco Bell) was actually American.

Insinuating that taco bell is Mexican food is fucking insulting to Mexican food and Mexico's rich food history.

Taco bell is Mexican adjacent at best

Yeah, it's a bad example. But you get the point I'm trying to make.
