Is it true that "TexMex" food butchers the authenticity of Mexican food?

Asked by WhatThaF (168points) May 27th, 2009 from iPhone

I know what you’re sayin’.. “This is not what I call Mexican food!?”—Cuz they call it TexMex. Fake Mexican food.. butchering and switchin’ up recipes.. Can someone please explain why? Is TexMex considered a TYPE of Mexican food? ..because you know YorkMex or WisconMex do not exist. Why is this so? and who invented this word?
