"little" is just a slice of a much larger picture.
I think its foolish to say that one doesn't need to travel to Mexico because you can find all things Mexico in the USA. Certainly the massive influx of Mexicans in the USA have left a strong imprint on American society and these impressions can give you a glimpse of what Mexico is like but there are experiences in Mexico that cannot be replicated in the USA.
I guess as you said that "little" is enough for some people, small minded people.
It would be like me saying well we have a large Chinese community in the Los Angeles area so I don't need to go all the way to China to get a Chinese experience.
It sounds off.
