Each submodel may trigger the formation of an attributive ethnonym, which ascribes some attribute to the target group. While such terms are mostly derogatory, context plays a crucial role in their perception. The analysis proper focuses on foodsemic ethnonyms (most of which activate the submodel of CUISINE). Out of 168 items, above 50% follow the "FOODSTUFF FOR ETHNIC GROUP" or "FOODSTUFF EATER FOR ETHNIC GROUP" metonymy. Most examples come from Am.E., with Mexicans being the most frequently described target group.
