Reply to comment by pantsattack in chicano restaurants in dc area by BalzMartigan

He said "brown owned," not authentic. There are Puerto Ricans and Mexicans of all races, so their skin color does not have anything to do with whether they are authentic.

I think you're being too literal. OP's intent is clear.

Regardless, as Kuma Chorou said, the racialization of his comment was weird.

How is it clear? You’re talking about authenticity while he’s literally talking about Chicano food which is fusion food that has never stopped rapidly evolving, therefore not really something that’s judgeable as authentic or not.
