I'm sorry, but I am Spanish and East European, and our food is anything but bland, and lent to Latin American food culture heavily. Speaking against racism with your own racism is ignorant, did you really stop seeing race, or did you just want to lecture the gringos like a self-righteous prat? Also, you look as Mediterranean as your ancestors. Italians are a dime a dozen in Boston, you do not look out of place there.
