    That’s reasonable. I suppose there’s something distinct in the “costume” based on how significant the cultural garb is. I don’t know much about mexican culture so correct me if I’m wrong, but is the stereotypical sombrero/poncho combination more a product of convenience and weather than culture? Contrasting with the Native American headdress or Hindu bindi which are culturally significant in (I believe) a different way.

      I do agree that the poncho and sombrero are not really a mexican cultural thing (although the shape and colors make it specific to mexico on top of drawing a (mexican) mustache). Like I said, I dont mind it, just don’t be anti mexican, and this applies to other cultures too.
