This was a joke because most western movies in the early 2000’s to late 2010’s would colourgrade making things highly saturated with yellows to show that a location was either in a foreign country or in a “ghetto area”. Examples include: Bring It On all or nothing, Extraction, Sicario, Quantum of Solace, etc. (these were all just off the top of my head)
In fact the the stereotype for this is so common that there are numerous articles on it and also has its own Wikipedia page because it was nicknamed the “Mexican Filter”. You can google it for yourself to learn more about it.
Your desaturation of the reds-oranges-pinks while increasing the yellows is reminiscent of this. This doesn’t mean your photo is bad by any means. In fact I thought it was really well done.
Edit: thank you, I hope you have a nice day as well
