Mexicans and Greeks can both be ambiguously ethnic.

Especially if you can't find any of Greece on a map. But can find plenty on your shirt. :crickets:

Gyro's are so gosh dang good!!! I don't know if I would trust a Mexican gyro though. I guess I'm a little racist when it comes to making gyros.
Side note: It drives me crazy when people pronounce "gyro" with a hard "G" and it should be pronounced like "Year-O."

Who should make them then? No greek restaurant I know serves gyros they're all nice sit down places. And still probably no greek cooking anyway.

I thought gyros was a type of meat dish, not a thing you make
Like, you put gyros on a pita bread or you have "a plate of gyros"
Not, "a gyros"
I think those Mexicans are scamming you and serving roadkill

You have to make the shank and season it and roast it on a vertical rotating thing. I would say you make gyros

This was/is a relatively common occurrence at the pizza shops i have worked at. It's usually older men who believe they're Sicilian due to the darker complexion.
Yet for every person who believes a Central/South American person to be European, there's ten times as many who believe that every Latino they see is Mexican . Is'nt that just as ignorant?

Any type of Greek food here is generally legit Greek people. Except with mall chain franchise type stuff, those are more like 50/50 Greek and other immigrant owners and workers. And there are Greek run burger and fries plus gyros and souvlaki places, those are good.
My background is supposed to be 100% Irish but I can attain a moderately dark tan. The one ethnicity I have had people guess or say I resembled is Jewish. Mostly in hair texture I guess.

Yeah a lot came over in the 70s or so I think. Italians too around that era. Mexican people aren't a particularly major ethnic group here at all. Except seasonally in agricultural areas.

This is quite debatable.
