Ironically it was argued by the guy opening a Mexican restaurant because the locals were being assholes and probably racist.

I'm reminded of why tomatoes are legally considered a vegetable - agribusiness tried to use their taxonomic classification as a way to get the cheaper tax rate and the judge decided that their common use and reception as a vegetable was the defining factor.
