Are Mexicans the best chefs? No matter what type of restaurant I go to Italian etc...I always see Mexican chefs in the kitchen

yea but they seem to excel in the culinary world
>>7116655
I dunno. That hasn't been my experiences at all. Around here they either work construction or run drugs. All the restaurants I frequent have mostly white and black staff.
>>7116655
then why are the only notable people in the culinary world asian or white??

I wouldn't say they excel. You see them working in kitchens a lot because they'll work for shit pay and will bust their asses while they do it without complaining. Working for minimum wage or less in the US is a better deal than working for a fraction of that amount in Mexico.
Trying to get a white or even black American to bust their ass that hard for so little pay is pretty difficult since they don't want to do hard labor for low pay. Same reason why you see so many Mexicans working construction or doing janitorial work or picking fruits and vegetables on farms.

It's because they come from a 3rd world country where they are forced to learn to cook. Unlike America where even our women no longer know how to even bake a cake, the Mexicans are raised with culinary knowledge

Slighty off topic but are Mexicans essentially the same as Native Americans?
>>7116733
yeah they are aztecs that were converted to catholicism and forced to speak spanish

Mexico is a very diverse country. Yeah, there are a lot of pure-blooded natives, but there's also a lot of descendants of Spanish rape babies. You can tell the difference by looking at them.
>I always see Mexican chefs in the kitchen
No, that's just restaurant owners being cheap.
You wanna eat somewhere where the owners spend shit money on hiring staff?
Mexicans are just the most willing to work low paying jobs
It has nothing to do with how good or bad they are at it
