No pudiera yo imaginarme un video con el titulo: 5 cosas que mexicanas hacen que molestan a los Americanos. ¡Que racista este video! Aún más racista el comentario que elegiste tú para pegar encima de todos los demás comentarios.
Love the video! Thank you for the tips. Soy estadunidense😉 I feel your pain. I live in the United Kingdom and have people who treat me just the way you have described. Europeans think that all Americans come from the U.S. Canadians take great offense being called Americans. I point out that they live on the American continent and therefore are Americans. When people ask me where I am from I tell them Seattle because anything else leaves me open to questions such as "Oh, do you know this person or that person?" Almost have to give a mini geography lesson. And like you folk from Mexico, there are certain attitudes and stereotypes that I am compelled to attempt to dispel concerning "Mi ser estadounidense". ¡Dios te bendiga, Paulísima! 🥰
The first time I ever went to Mexico I did get really sick. I ended up going to the doctor. He told me that it can be common for people that travel to a new area to get sick because their bodies are not used to that new places natural bacteria. Whether it's the food, drinks, anything you touch or even inhale. Mexicans can come to the U.S. and get sick just as easy because their body is not used to our natural bacteria. It makes a lot of sense to me.
My friends from Mexico also agree it is irritating people from the US simply call ourselves Americas. But I jokingly pointed out the innocent (grammatical) reason why this happens. Mexico's formal name is the "United States of Mexico" (Estados Unidos Mexicanos), and in the US our formal name is the "United States of America". For both countries and typical grammar, it is easier to just shorten both by simply saying "Mexico" and "America", dropping the United States. Fortunately, if we say United States, we assume we're referring to the US of America, and not US of Mexico!🤣 😃
That's not exactly correct. Mexico's formal name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos, which is United Mexican States, not United States of Mexico. It's a subtle distinction, but a distinction nonethless.
Also, when the USA was founded, it was the only independent new country in the Americas. By the time it got confusing, we were already calling ourselves Americans.
So for her to say that people from a country called America to call ourselves Americans is annoying just shows that she shouldn't be here because she doesn't even know what it is.
I talked to a guy when I was in Cancun, I thought I was talking to a tourist from Europe. Turns out he was a tourist but from Mexico City, born and raised. I realized that maybe I don't know Mexico at all
I got the same thing (#5) when traveling in India; apparently I don't look like I'm from the United States (yes, media is to blame) because everyone refused to believe that I wasn't English or German. I had to actually show my passport to people to prove I was born in the U.S. It's funny the ideas people have in their heads about what people should look like according to their nationalities.
I wonder what they thought you should look like. Why would they think you were English or German? In the US there are many ethnic groups and not one particular "look".
Margarita, I'm not sure what the Indian perception of "American" is, but I'm apparently not it! My heritage is completely northern European, so they weren't wrong, but maybe they thought I should be tanner and blonder to qualify as "American". The misconceptions of Baywatch... le sigh. Cada cabeza es un mundo.
@@margaritakleinman5701 Same problem, I live in Mexico and I am Dutch. I have to explain: I speak Spanish, so very small chance I am a Gringo. I laugh a lot, small chance I am a German! Hahahaa....jokes are the best way to show sensitive things like ignorance
Thank you for this video. I’m not a fluent Spanish speaker cuz my family spoke a lot of English while I was growing up. Overall, I’ve never been stereotyped cuz I look mixed race, therefore I can pass as anything. But when I go into the city, where a lot Latinos & Mexicans live, & OMG I can’t tell you the stereotypes I’ve received from them & one particular is how a Mexican “should look like” 😑 No, I didn’t grow up with a lot of Mexicans (other than my family) my home town isn’t very diverse, yet I get treated like family to them. I get treated like a human being, not like a stereotype
Oye. The struggle is real. My family settled in New Mexico around 1812. Then my 2x great grandparents migrated to Wyoming around 1890(A lot of Hispanic families did this). Yet never fails, "Lovato? you don't look Mexican"
100% of the time, people I know/meet from other countries say "you're from America" . And if you ask our nationality- we're going to say we're American. We don't say I'm a United Stater. That's not an English phrase. So, Americana it is
You can say you're American from the USA, just as much as a Mexican can say they're American from Mexico. Both countries belong to North American continent.
@@theparadigm8149nope, simple just use THE AMERICAS to refer to the whole american continent, more specific North and South America. Which tbh Mexico should be part of the southern part, yeezy them just so undeveloped and broke.
@@Me.myself.and.i619unfortunately that comment has gone up high into the mexican heads that they're north americans. Hope Trump or Harris set up that whole bullcrap of considering mexicans NORTH AMERICA and approve a bill and new constitute to address mexico as South America for once.
@@carlcast1286 you have left me speechless with the amount of stupidity your comment shows. You only need a map to see where Mexico is located. There's an American continent there's north Central and South. Mexico is in North America lol
I think I have had the same thing from Mexicans. I tell them I'm from Canada and they say oh I know somebody from Canada. They are in Toronto, thinking that I know Toronto. I have never been to Toronto, I hate Toronto. It would take me 3 days to drive there from where I live 😂. The thing is most non Canadians only know one Canadian city and it's the city most Canadians don't like
These are funny. I have to admit that I have been surprised when people ask where I’m from. I stumbled and quickly said anything from the city or state that I was from. This comes from not traveling internationally but only between cities
@@PaulisimaSpringSpanish 😮 I have had trouble saying estadounidenses; now you tell me there is another way to say it!! Aye caray Paulisima 😂. I will work on them both!! Thanks cus that is something I really need to say in place of Soy de Texas. 😢. ❤. Muchas gracias!!
¡Me encantan tus videos! Soy un gringo que creció en Nuevo México y Arizona. Me mudaré a Ecuador en septiembre. No quiero vivir una vida norteamericana en Ecuador, quiero ser un norteamericano que vive la experiencia ecuatoriana. See, I did learn something from this video--I will never refer to myself in Ecuador as "Americano" because of your good advice...For some reason, "Estadounidense" is hard for me to pronounce...OK, and I did mention the states where I come from, rather than just the country...lesson NOT learned.
The American comment. What other country in North or South America has the word American in it? None that I can think of. So we wouldn't say we were United Statesian. When someone says they are American most people know what they are talking about.
Disfruto de su humor y creo que es una buena idea que nosotros, los estudiantes de idiomas, seamos conscientes de que hay personas que se sienten ofendidas por algunos términos que podríamos usar, tengan algún sentido para nosotros o no. En inglés "esdadunidenses" se traduce como "Unitedstatesians", lo que no tiene sentido, excepto como una broma. Cuando se inventó este término, quien lo hizo debería haberlo llamado "estaduniddeamericadense" o algo así, ¡que sería aún más una broma! Para que conste, el nombre del país es Estados Unidos de América, no Estados Unidos. Quien inventó la palabra "estadunidense", aparentemente no entendió que en este contexto la palabra "America" se refiere al país, no al continente. Excepto en un contexto académico limitado, no conozco a personas en ningún lugar que se refieran a sí mismas por el nombre de su continente. Los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos se refieren a sí mismos como "Americans" después del nombre de su país ... como todos los demás en el mundo.
Bueno lo correcto es: de dónde eres ? R: de USA R: de Estados Unidos R: US citizen Cualquiera de estas opciones porque si dices americano te dirán ... Si, pero de que país de América
Bueno yo soy mexicano y a mí nunca me han dicho que si conozco a la señora que hace limpieza porque he trabajado en US en constructoras haciendo planos y otras cosas de diseño. no domino el inglés ( lo hablo bien pero obviamente no como as alguien nativo ) pero hay de muchas nacionalidades haciendo trabajo de limpieza. Saludos 🇲🇽🇺🇸
Us UPS driver's always get asked if we know so and so's UPS Driver when there are hundreds of thousands of us so I feel you on that. We should definitely say we are from the United States and not "America", but when you're from a well known State like Arizona you like to show it off and it usually starts conversations about the Grand Canyon or they want to know if we're all cowboys. I notice people from Mexico here like to put their Mexican State on their truck windshields which is kind of cool (and I love it when they parade the Mexican flag here as we've gone way overboard with stars and stripes saturation). Arizona and Mexico are like brothers or should be. The best part of Mexicans is their sense of humor!
#3 - I just call them gringos but I have zero problem with them calling themselves American. I don't see why anyone would get offended, we all know what they mean.
What not to do? It's easy. Stop claiming that because you have Native blood makes you the same as Natives on U.S. Reservations. You're not. You're something different.
Other than that I have no beef with you, other than you think of yourself as being as Native as U.S. Reservation Indians and you're not, you're Indigenous from a foreign place. You're not our Indigenous..
@@JonDoe-mz4dxYou do know that some native tribes from Mexico did stretch all the way into middle America. Utah, Kansas, Texas, etc. So not exactly that different.
@@RockWonder210 thank you. The Apache tribe just because an imaginary line was changed from Texas to Mexico does not make them different people, not foreign tribes just a new border line was drawn so @JonDoe-mz4dx please do some basic research and use a little thought before you speak. Most as you called them US reservation tribes from the south. The Chumash in California and countless others were all in Mexico territory before we redrew the lines after the Mexican-American war and a few purchases from Mexico. The people however carry the same heritage and bloodline, whichever side of the line their domicile stood.
Absolutely Right we appreciate very much all the people who visit the country or want to live here forget preconceived ideas. please, please try to speak basic Spanish just try it ! that for us is pleasant (like I write this although I know that my writing isn't perfect) welcome whenever you want 🇲🇽
I JUST WANT TO KNOW ONE THING, WHY ARE MEXICANS SO LOUD,? I WAS IN LA AT A CAFE AND IT WAS A MEXICAN FAMILY THERE AND THEY WAS JUST LOUD, I UNDERSTAND IN MEXICO THEY ARE LOUD BUT ALSO OUT OF THERE COUNTRY ITS THE SAME, I DONT UNDERSTAND THE POINT????
A lot of ppl I meet mistake me for being all American but I’m 65% Hispanic the other 35% is American. So when ppl find out how much Hispanic I am their surprised and say “wow I’ve always thought u were a white girl” for example my guys best friend I’ve known since 2nd grade(we’re now going into 10th) I took a dna test for my fam cus my dad told everyone he was Italian but he died when I was 9 and left it like that. So when we did the dna test I had no Italian in me turns out he was Hispanic so that’s where my Hispanic comes from. So I took this test in 5th grade a year after he passed before covid and I js now told my guys bff how much percentage of Mexican I was cuz we were talking abt what we have cuz we’ve both done a dna test and wanted to compare and keep in mind he’s 80% Mexican. He looked at me and say I gotta be lying cuz I look like a white girl my friends say ik whiter than a cloud so I could see why. I told him I’m not joking and showed him and he said “wow I’ve always thought u were a white girl cuz you look like one” and I told him “yea I know I always thought I was white to until I found this out” so yea ppl do mix things up like that but I’ve learned to accept it with how white I look. And I grew up not knowing any Spanish 1. Reason cuz my dad left when I was 2. Another reason is cuz my dad never spoke Spanish cuz his dad who was full Hispanic was very abusive to towards his mom so he wanted to forget abt that pass me and my fam are guessing. So now me being 14(almost 15) im trying to learn as much Spanish as possible with the help of my guy bff and videos on TH-cam im js having a hard time remembering it all😭😅
God she is soooo buena!!! Me wedo gringo😂 Im sure you got a few misleading stereotypes about gringos yourself me mujara🙃its ok if your more informed then most people, you made a great video. Thank you
Coming back from Ensenada with 3 of my Mexican/American friends, the border agent asked my friends who are all darker and have Latino features in Spanish where they were coming from, my friends don't speak Spanish, I look more White with Anglo features, I responded in Spanish we were American and my friends didn't speak any Spanish and we were going home, the agent laughed and said have a nice day in English.
Hmmm... Ok mam when a person ask you where your from and you are in that country currently it makes sense to say the city or state to me. If I am in Mexico and I ask someone where are you from I dont think they will say Mexico, correcto? They are assuming if they say just the state you know I was born here. But you could be from another country so just ask them, what country? Also every country has popular cities so if you are visiting that country educate yourself on the major cities so when someone say I am from Madrid you know its in Spain or if I say I am from Los Angeles you know its California USA.
I like many things that you said, like taking photos of people, not nice if you do not ask, I am an Italo-Canadian, and we have the same problem in Canada, with people taking photos of the "Indians" who,s polite name is (first nations) and the same happens in Italy, especially in Sicily, where I am from. Oh yeah, I almost am afraid to to say that I am Sicilian, the ignorance of all Mexicans hurts me so much, the only thing that they know is the mafia, all the Mexicans that I meet say that. You at one point said : Blame the media, I agree. I want to wish you the best, I like your style, even though you exaggerate a bit.

As a person who traveled out of country ( USA ) on business. I was told to tell the local that I was from famous cities rather than country. The reason was that most countries do not like the USA. They like will known cities like Hollywood, Los Angeles, New York, than country.
Yes, you are right. This was from another video. We fixed it already in the description. Here is the video this is from: th-cam.com/video/NI4nynO7pVU/w-d-xo.html
I typically say: Soy de América its a habit and its just easier to speak lol but you are correct however most people know when I say Soy de América I am talking about USA. Or soy Americana.
On more than one occasion, when travelling, I have told people I've met that I am from Canada and immediately been asked if I know their friend in Toronto. (Population 6 million and over 1600 kilometres from my town.) No one country or group of people has a monopoly on stupid questions. And sometimes the other person is just trying to be friendly and make a connection.
So true, I was visiting Thailand one summer back in 1996, and you would not believe how often I was asked if I personally knew Michael Jackson or I wanted a coke to drink. 😂 People of all cultures makes silly assumptions.
❤Mexicano Beverly Hills Downey California. Mexicano is how I say it. My friends from Spain, Italians, Peru , Cubans says Mexicano. I correct my neighbors. I am American and my heritage is Mexicano. I read only English, I can’t read or write Spanish, but I speak it and understand it. Frank Martinez Downey California
Says don"t say you are American, then she goes on to describe the difference in television media by calling it American media. Must not be too big of a problem.
@@markjsaldana Do Hispanics refer to themselves as Americano Latino, or just americano. You have to say the nationality or can I just state the continent That I’m from, ie I’m Asian vs I’m Chinese, American vs Canadian. I here Latinos refer to Asians in general as “chino” with zero hesitation . Seems kind of petty
#1 happens to many people wherever they go. I hear it when I travel in other countries. "Oh, maybe you know so and so who is also from America." For 5.30 - I'm not sure how much of the world you have traveled Paulisima 🙂because this is definitely not true. I hear "I'm from Sydney" and "I'm from Tokyo" and "I'm from Moscow" and "I'm from Paris" and "I'm from Berlin" and so on. Just say no to stereotypes, it is safer, instead of saying "only Americans."
I traveled with a friend who constantly used people as props in Chiapas. It was so cringey. I tried to run away every time and I did ask her a few times to refrain!
"About 50% of vegetables and 40% of fruit imported to the U.S. are grown in Mexico, according to U.S Department of Agriculture data." __Time Magazine, 3Apr2019
So I am full Mexican my mum is Mexican and my dad is Mexican so I’m full but people think I’m just on regular white boy because my skin is it as dark as my dad when he hears that he’s okay. Don’t worry your skin is going to be like me, you know, just give us some time and yeah I guess people just think Mexicans are just dark skin in nobody stereotypes, but in reality, Mexicans come in a lot of different colours
Soy estadounidense, y me cae muy mal a nuestra media. Solo queremos dividir la gente y nos hacen enojados. Deseo visitar a México pronto. Conozco a muchos Mexicanos y siempre practico el español con ellos :)
Bro, when I moved to Florida. Literally everyone and their mum asked me if I spoke Spanish. And I'm like bruh, I'm Asian. Like what the fuck??? Now I'm just like poquito. Because I started learning Spanish. Lol =op
Yes, it is not just South Florida -- the entire state assumes you understand some basic Spanish. 80% of kids in our schools are learning it - even in North Florida -- with the support of their parents. I am not fluent, I live in Palm Beach County, but when I am riding a train here or watching televsion with Spanish programming (I like telenovelas, they are the best), I understand most of the Spanish without even thinking about it.
Lol! I'm from sacramento and I lived in San Antonio as well! If people ask me where I'm from, I just say california.. The reason why Americans say what city they're from, is because we usually only talk to other Americans or English speakers. So it makes sense to say your city. If we talk to people from another country, they already know we're American!
I do answer with the name of my city 'Seattle'.. If I say Washington, everybody thinks I live by the White House, which is not the case. If it's a big enough city, most have a sports team and many people will know the city by the team.
Most of us think that spanish-speakers are all mexicans. But that's not always the case! It's just simply not true! I hate it when they assume this! Spanish unlike Mexico is spoken in other different countries, like Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico (US Territory), Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Spain, & even an african country Equatorial Guinea speak it. People need to know this so they won't assume the same thing like they always do! Si es la verdad!
As long as they make stupid remarks like saying citizens of a Nationality called America shouldn't call ourselves Americans then they're all just Spaniards to me. Stop being stupid on purpose and I'll treat you with empathy.
I had Monte's revenge once. I figured it was the water. I've been to Mexico several times and eaten plenty. It was a lot worse than a tummy ache. Things were flying out of both ends of me under great pressure. Great fun on a plane ride home I tell ya.
1. I have never heard of someone asking that. 2. If the Place is busy you are safe. ICE is rarely offered unless its filtered. Coca cola and Tecate light are always safe and delicious. 3. If you ask Most Mexicans they Reply with the Municipality they are from. Sinaloa MX , Jalisco, MX etc... But i also live on the border with TJ and TkT so that could ecplain it. 4. Time in MX is always mas o minus 15 minutes or whatever. Cheers From San Diego!!
We never ever buy food from street vendors. My husband is Nicaragüense, & we lived in Costa Rica for several years. Now we’re moving to Mexico. No offense to Mexicans. We apply this rule everywhere we go, including the U.S.
@@RUT812 Exactly, dont buy from street vendors in the US. and if you listen to the news, even the ice at major fast food restaurants can be unsanitary. its just a more common problem than we realize!
That "do you know so-and-so" question is not exclusive to Mexicans, as a Canadian visiting Europe and USA, I get that too, "Do you know my cousin Aldo who emigrated to Toronto in 1972 ?" No, I live on the other side of the country. Never had Moctezuma because I follow those common sense rules. At the all-inclusive resorts, my partner sticks with the Anglo offerings, I follow the Mexican persons and try to eat what they are choosing.
or "Oh, I've got a cousin who lives in San Diego!" Um. I'm from San Francisco, 8 hours away, and the state of California is 14 hours long, from tip to tip.
I grew up in Belize and we used to drink water straight from the well, which if most people from the USA would drink would get sick. It's not that their food is not clean, Americans just aren't used to it
While I understand your point and agree for the most part, if someone where to make this video about 5 annoying things that Mexican do that Americans hate, it would be deemed as insensitive, racist, or ignorant and tone deaf. Just saying. I often find the hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance funny. For example, the rich gringos taking over CDMX. The reverse is also true in the USA, poor immigrants destroying property values etc. We are more similar than different, both bad and good. One thing, I do find kinda annoying about Mexicans in the USA, they assume nobody speaks or understands Spanish. I often find these overheard coversations to be insulting and rude. When I leave, I love to scare them with a shock.....Que tengas un buen día. Hablas Espanol? SI, vivi in Espana, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala asi que hablo casi con fluidez. Jaw drop, embarrassed, I walk out. This also happens to me in Latin America, so I guess it's not specific to Mexicans or the USA. Point: be careful to foster content that promotes kindness and acceptance rather than this....
True! "Americanos" are from cities, although they can't name even states of their country themselves ( Friends:Ross ) 😅 Besos, Jose Garcia from Tampere
To be fair “United States of America” is the only country in the world with the word “America” in its official title. I think that is why so many people from “EEUU” call it “America”. I only used the word in Europe and Japan, where it’s considered correct usage (then again, in Japan they call Great Britain “England”.
@@monlichtgundisalvu1852 No we dont! we are not allowed to saying negative about women, blacks, spanish speakers or muslims or we are instantly called racist(whether anyone can prove it or not) Thank gawd we can still make fun of the irish, though!
Certain people complain about Mexicans in America and go to Mexico and complain about Mexicans. I’m half Mexican and half White and I study my culture religiously. No, I don’t have the native tongue but I love Mi Raza!
I’m sorry but the only ones who make a big deal about Americans calling themselves American are people from Mexico and Central America. Rest of the world considers those from the US as being American, Mexicans are from Mexico, Guatemalans from Guatemala, Salvadorans from El Salvador, etc etc. isn’t that hard on a concept to understand. Now if you are willing to accept that all the negative stereotypes that the world has of Americans is also associated to you ( a Mexican) then sure, you can refer to yourself as an American if you want to 😉
Great video. I appreciate how the use of soy americano can come across as somewhat arrogant. However, you used "American media" instead of media in the United States in the next example. It simply is easier. Now as someone who lived in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 for 3 years, assuming Americans even realize this can be offensive to others in the Western hemisphere is a stretch as many do not even know Peurto Ricans are "Americans." Tks again!
If it annoys people that you call the United States "America," then that's stupid. I don't care what you learned in school. Many Americans will call the US "America," but no other country will. Therefore, you should know what people mean when they say "Soy Americano." People who get critical about semantics should cease to exist on the planet.
As an American person with Latin decent, the one thing I do not like about Mexican culture or any Latin culture in particular is the heavy drinking other than that, the food and the music is amazing and everything else. Tequila is pretty nice but more than one shot is crazy. I don’t know how people can drink to the point of vomiting or until they fall face forward .
I can’t remember if it was a Mexican or a Puerto Rican who told me it was considered rude to say I was “American” when asked where I was from. I always say “the United States” when asked as as a result.
There are bacteria in the water that your body gets used to. I never had any problems in Mexico; but the first time I went to Colombia, I was sick for almost a month.
You haven’t traveled as an (USA) American. Most people will almost make fun of you if you say American since many are obviously American or they already heard us talk. Well I know that, what part? Then they ask region, state, city. It’s easier to just fast-forward to city.
Industrialized, country people know that don't have to go to eat to mercados, or street markets or indoor swap meets, because the immune system is different, the get ok in several months, get stronger
Mexicana woman, I don't undertand why you will get offended. NUmber one most people including Americans will associate even El Salvadorians as Mexicans. Im from the Philippines and I get mistaken for a mexican or whatever latin country I don't get offended at all. and so many things I can say here. I was born in the Phiippines and now naturalized American and been living in USA for 45 years so I am a "Gringa" currently I remember when I didnt get sick with stuff tap water or street foods in the Philippines but after being in USA for awhile I couldn't believe that I can get sick with that from my home country mother land that I love and still do. And if you are offended with these 5 things about Mexicans stop selling those stuff on the tourists spots or stop being insecure. It shouldn't offend you. And I did get sick in Mexico different places which I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET SICK anywhere most especially Mexico cuz I have Mexican blood. I have been told when I say I am from the Phiippines there are so many nanny's babysitters where I live in DC (DC Maryland VA usually baby sitters are filipinos-Nanny's) CLEANING PEOPLE are from different Latin American Countries. These jobs are all good jobs and if we didn't have these blue collared workers or hard labor workers as I call them, the whole world will collapse! I can only admire people who does work most especially the types of jobs I cannot possibly tackle: cucinera, bus boy, cleaning person for houses and offices, baby sitters, house maids even a nurse, since most filipinos are NURSES! lol Have a nice day!
That first one is the same for Americans in Mexico: You're from L.A.? My cousin lives there! His name is.... etc. Exactly the same. It's human nature to assume the world is smaller than it is. Not racist.
1. She never called it racist 2.Difference is ones a city and ones a country 3. No one really does this with cities and states within us only foreign countries

There stupid!,
Mexico is the true America!!.
The first time I ever went to Mexico I did get really sick. I ended up going to the doctor. He told me that it can be common for people that travel to a new area to get sick because their bodies are not used to that new places natural bacteria. Whether it's the food, drinks, anything you touch or even inhale. Mexicans can come to the U.S. and get sick just as easy because their body is not used to our natural bacteria. It makes a lot of sense to me.
Muy de acuerdo :D
Totally agree Amber 🇺🇸🇲🇽
Moctezuma, Montecuzoma, or Montesuma, he was an emperor, saying this is like if you go to england and you get sick and you blame it on the QUEEN.
One only need to travel about 200 miles from their home to get a stomach ache.

My friends from Mexico also agree it is irritating people from the US simply call ourselves Americas. But I jokingly pointed out the innocent (grammatical) reason why this happens. Mexico's formal name is the "United States of Mexico" (Estados Unidos Mexicanos), and in the US our formal name is the "United States of America". For both countries and typical grammar, it is easier to just shorten both by simply saying "Mexico" and "America", dropping the United States. Fortunately, if we say United States, we assume we're referring to the US of America, and not US of Mexico!🤣 😃
That's not exactly correct. Mexico's formal name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos, which is United Mexican States, not United States of Mexico. It's a subtle distinction, but a distinction nonethless.
Also, when the USA was founded, it was the only independent new country in the Americas. By the time it got confusing, we were already calling ourselves Americans.
That's why I say the country's name should be renamed to "United States of North America."
There's no other countries with the name "America" in the name.
So for her to say that people from a country called America to call ourselves Americans is annoying just shows that she shouldn't be here because she doesn't even know what it is.
I talked to a guy when I was in Cancun, I thought I was talking to a tourist from Europe. Turns out he was a tourist but from Mexico City, born and raised. I realized that maybe I don't know Mexico at all
I got the same thing (#5) when traveling in India; apparently I don't look like I'm from the United States (yes, media is to blame) because everyone refused to believe that I wasn't English or German. I had to actually show my passport to people to prove I was born in the U.S. It's funny the ideas people have in their heads about what people should look like according to their nationalities.
I wonder what they thought you should look like. Why would they think you were English or German? In the US there are many ethnic groups and not one particular "look".
Margarita, I'm not sure what the Indian perception of "American" is, but I'm apparently not it! My heritage is completely northern European, so they weren't wrong, but maybe they thought I should be tanner and blonder to qualify as "American". The misconceptions of Baywatch... le sigh. Cada cabeza es un mundo.

Thank you for this video. I’m not a fluent Spanish speaker cuz my family spoke a lot of English while I was growing up. Overall, I’ve never been stereotyped cuz I look mixed race, therefore I can pass as anything. But when I go into the city, where a lot Latinos & Mexicans live, & OMG I can’t tell you the stereotypes I’ve received from them & one particular is how a Mexican “should look like” 😑 No, I didn’t grow up with a lot of Mexicans (other than my family) my home town isn’t very diverse, yet I get treated like family to them. I get treated like a human being, not like a stereotype
Oye. The struggle is real. My family settled in New Mexico around 1812. Then my 2x great grandparents migrated to Wyoming around 1890(A lot of Hispanic families did this). Yet never fails, "Lovato? you don't look Mexican"
Thank you for this information. We are now in Mexico and wanted to learn more about likes and dislikes. :)
100% of the time, people I know/meet from other countries say "you're from America" . And if you ask our nationality- we're going to say we're American. We don't say I'm a United Stater. That's not an English phrase. So, Americana it is
It is confusing because news flash: Mexico and all the way down to Argentina are all in the “Americas”, so all of them are American
You can say you're American from the USA, just as much as a Mexican can say they're American from Mexico. Both countries belong to North American continent.
@@theparadigm8149nope, simple just use THE AMERICAS to refer to the whole american continent, more specific North and South America. Which tbh Mexico should be part of the southern part, yeezy them just so undeveloped and broke.
@@Me.myself.and.i619unfortunately that comment has gone up high into the mexican heads that they're north americans. Hope Trump or Harris set up that whole bullcrap of considering mexicans NORTH AMERICA and approve a bill and new constitute to address mexico as South America for once.
@@carlcast1286 you have left me speechless with the amount of stupidity your comment shows. You only need a map to see where Mexico is located. There's an American continent there's north Central and South. Mexico is in North America lol
I think I have had the same thing from Mexicans. I tell them I'm from Canada and they say oh I know somebody from Canada. They are in Toronto, thinking that I know Toronto. I have never been to Toronto, I hate Toronto. It would take me 3 days to drive there from where I live 😂. The thing is most non Canadians only know one Canadian city and it's the city most Canadians don't like
These are funny. I have to admit that I have been surprised when people ask where I’m from. I stumbled and quickly said anything from the city or state that I was from. This comes from not traveling internationally but only between cities
¡¡Hola Paulísima, super vídeo, como siempre!! Muy interesante!
Gracias Marika! Always a pleasure to hear from you :D

¡Me encantan tus videos! Soy un gringo que creció en Nuevo México y Arizona. Me mudaré a Ecuador en septiembre.
No quiero vivir una vida norteamericana en Ecuador, quiero ser un norteamericano que vive la experiencia ecuatoriana.
See, I did learn something from this video--I will never refer to myself in Ecuador as "Americano" because of your good advice...For some reason, "Estadounidense" is hard for me to pronounce...OK, and I did mention the states where I come from, rather than just the country...lesson NOT learned.
Thank God😂 gtfo dirty mf
The American comment. What other country in North or South America has the word American in it? None that I can think of. So we wouldn't say we were United Statesian. When someone says they are American most people know what they are talking about.
Dutch people also say; I am from Amsterdam 😂
hhehehe!
Hehehe I was in the USA said my country answer was It doesn’t exist you are German 😂
Disfruto de su humor y creo que es una buena idea que nosotros, los estudiantes de idiomas, seamos conscientes de que hay personas que se sienten ofendidas por algunos términos que podríamos usar, tengan algún sentido para nosotros o no.
En inglés "esdadunidenses" se traduce como "Unitedstatesians", lo que no tiene sentido, excepto como una broma. Cuando se inventó este término, quien lo hizo debería haberlo llamado "estaduniddeamericadense" o algo así, ¡que sería aún más una broma!
Para que conste, el nombre del país es Estados Unidos de América, no Estados Unidos. Quien inventó la palabra "estadunidense", aparentemente no entendió que en este contexto la palabra "America" se refiere al país, no al continente.
Excepto en un contexto académico limitado, no conozco a personas en ningún lugar que se refieran a sí mismas por el nombre de su continente. Los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos se refieren a sí mismos como "Americans" después del nombre de su país ... como todos los demás en el mundo.
Yo soy de mexico y estas 5 cosas no son ciertas, yo no me ciento para nada asi.
Sino lo contrario.
Bueno lo correcto es:
de dónde eres ?
R: de USA
R: de Estados Unidos
R: US citizen
Cualquiera de estas opciones porque si dices americano te dirán ...
Si, pero de que país de América
Bueno yo soy mexicano y a mí nunca me han dicho que si conozco a la señora que hace limpieza porque he trabajado en US en constructoras haciendo planos y otras cosas de diseño.
no domino el inglés ( lo hablo bien pero obviamente no como as alguien nativo ) pero hay de muchas nacionalidades haciendo trabajo de limpieza.

Us UPS driver's always get asked if we know so and so's UPS Driver when there are hundreds of thousands of us so I feel you on that. We should definitely say we are from the United States and not "America", but when you're from a well known State like Arizona you like to show it off and it usually starts conversations about the Grand Canyon or they want to know if we're all cowboys. I notice people from Mexico here like to put their Mexican State on their truck windshields which is kind of cool (and I love it when they parade the Mexican flag here as we've gone way overboard with stars and stripes saturation). Arizona and Mexico are like brothers or should be. The best part of Mexicans is their sense of humor!
#3 - I just call them gringos but I have zero problem with them calling themselves American. I don't see why anyone would get offended, we all know what they mean.
Good video-I enjoyed!!!!!
Very informative thank you❤❤❤❤
Muchas gracias :D Love your handle btw :D
@@PaulisimaSpringSpanish thank you❤
Great information. Thanks for posting.
Thx I am learning all of it ,
Can you do a video for Mexicans about what not to do in US?
What not to do?
It's easy. Stop claiming that because you have Native blood makes you the same as Natives on U.S. Reservations. You're not. You're something different.
Other than that I have no beef with you, other than you think of yourself as being as Native as U.S. Reservation Indians and you're not, you're Indigenous from a foreign place. You're not our Indigenous..
@@JonDoe-mz4dxYou do know that some native tribes from Mexico did stretch all the way into middle America. Utah, Kansas, Texas, etc. So not exactly that different.
@@RockWonder210 thank you. The Apache tribe just because an imaginary line was changed from Texas to Mexico does not make them different people, not foreign tribes just a new border line was drawn so @JonDoe-mz4dx please do some basic research and use a little thought before you speak. Most as you called them US reservation tribes from the south. The Chumash in California and countless others were all in Mexico territory before we redrew the lines after the Mexican-American war and a few purchases from Mexico. The people however carry the same heritage and bloodline, whichever side of the line their domicile stood.
I agree!
Absolutely Right
we appreciate very much all the people who visit the country or want to live here forget preconceived ideas.
please, please try to speak basic Spanish just try it ! that for us is pleasant
(like I write this although
I know that my writing isn't perfect)

I JUST WANT TO KNOW ONE THING, WHY ARE MEXICANS SO LOUD,? I WAS IN LA AT A CAFE AND IT WAS A MEXICAN FAMILY THERE AND THEY WAS JUST LOUD, I UNDERSTAND IN MEXICO THEY ARE LOUD BUT ALSO OUT OF THERE COUNTRY ITS THE SAME, I DONT UNDERSTAND THE POINT????
They happy thats why
Because we are happy wherever, we are not bitter!
I genuinely dislike that about them. The nonstop chatter box. It's a European thing.
A lot of ppl I meet mistake me for being all American but I’m 65% Hispanic the other 35% is American. So when ppl find out how much Hispanic I am their surprised and say “wow I’ve always thought u were a white girl” for example my guys best friend I’ve known since 2nd grade(we’re now going into 10th) I took a dna test for my fam cus my dad told everyone he was Italian but he died when I was 9 and left it like that. So when we did the dna test I had no Italian in me turns out he was Hispanic so that’s where my Hispanic comes from. So I took this test in 5th grade a year after he passed before covid and I js now told my guys bff how much percentage of Mexican I was cuz we were talking abt what we have cuz we’ve both done a dna test and wanted to compare and keep in mind he’s 80% Mexican. He looked at me and say I gotta be lying cuz I look like a white girl my friends say ik whiter than a cloud so I could see why. I told him I’m not joking and showed him and he said “wow I’ve always thought u were a white girl cuz you look like one” and I told him “yea I know I always thought I was white to until I found this out” so yea ppl do mix things up like that but I’ve learned to accept it with how white I look. And I grew up not knowing any Spanish 1. Reason cuz my dad left when I was 2. Another reason is cuz my dad never spoke Spanish cuz his dad who was full Hispanic was very abusive to towards his mom so he wanted to forget abt that pass me and my fam are guessing.
So now me being 14(almost 15) im trying to learn as much Spanish as possible with the help of my guy bff and videos on TH-cam im js having a hard time remembering it all😭😅
God she is soooo buena!!! Me wedo gringo😂
Im sure you got a few misleading stereotypes about gringos yourself me mujara🙃its ok if your more informed then most people, you made a great video. Thank you
Gracias for your criticisms on Americanos y gringos. Good insight. I will always try to be a better American. #bebetter
the first 50 million crossing illegally was one thing... .but now you cant even survive down there, and expect americans to give you everything.
Well the first time a Spaniard came here illegally was in 1492.

Montezuma's revenge is caused by water with XXXX in it not from the food
Coming back from Ensenada with 3 of my Mexican/American friends, the border agent asked my friends who are all darker and have Latino features in Spanish where they were coming from, my friends don't speak Spanish, I look more White with Anglo features, I responded in Spanish we were American and my friends didn't speak any Spanish and we were going home, the agent laughed and said have a nice day in English.
Very funny and true and informative
Hmmm... Ok mam when a person ask you where your from and you are in that country currently it makes sense to say the city or state to me. If I am in Mexico and I ask someone where are you from I dont think they will say Mexico, correcto? They are assuming if they say just the state you know I was born here. But you could be from another country so just ask them, what country? Also every country has popular cities so if you are visiting that country educate yourself on the major cities so when someone say I am from Madrid you know its in Spain or if I say I am from Los Angeles you know its California USA.
I like many things that you said, like taking photos of people, not nice if you do not ask, I am an Italo-Canadian, and we have the same problem in Canada, with people taking photos of the "Indians" who,s polite name is (first nations) and the same happens in Italy, especially in Sicily, where I am from. Oh yeah, I almost am afraid to to say that I am Sicilian, the ignorance of all Mexicans hurts me so much, the only thing that they know is the mafia, all the Mexicans that I meet say that. You at one point said : Blame the media, I agree.
I want to wish you the best, I like your style, even though you exaggerate a bit.
I've used Montezuma's revenge, but it was not meant as some type of slur, anymore than "the Hershey Squirts" is somehow against a candy bar.

As a person who traveled out of country ( USA ) on business. I was told to tell the local that I was from famous cities rather than country. The reason was that most countries do not like the USA. They like will known cities like Hollywood, Los Angeles, New York, than country.
I was looking forward to "Preservativos Are Not Preservatives"! Was that from a different video?
Yes, you are right. This was from another video. We fixed it already in the description.
Here is the video this is from: th-cam.com/video/NI4nynO7pVU/w-d-xo.html
I typically say: Soy de América its a habit and its just easier to speak lol but you are correct however most people know when I say Soy de América I am talking about USA. Or soy Americana.
I cant tell you how appreciative I am to the subtitles you put in your videos. I learn new words every time I watch a video.
On more than one occasion, when travelling, I have told people I've met that I am from Canada and immediately been asked if I know their friend in Toronto. (Population 6 million and over 1600 kilometres from my town.) No one country or group of people has a monopoly on stupid questions. And sometimes the other person is just trying to be friendly and make a connection.
So true, I was visiting Thailand one summer back in 1996, and you would not believe how often I was asked if I personally knew Michael Jackson or I wanted a coke to drink. 😂 People of all cultures makes silly assumptions.

Very refreshing and honest. Thank you for you not minding the political correctness
Says don"t say you are American, then she goes on to describe the difference in television media by calling it American media. Must not be too big of a problem.
I caught that too.
Yeah she’s speaking English though. Americano has a different connotation in Spanish (like she said, if you’d listened).
@@markjsaldana Do Hispanics refer to themselves as Americano Latino, or just americano. You have to say the nationality or can I just state the continent That I’m from, ie I’m Asian vs I’m Chinese, American vs Canadian. I here Latinos refer to Asians in general as “chino” with zero hesitation . Seems kind of petty
She's an idiot 😂
Our country is literally called the United States of "America"
#1 happens to many people wherever they go. I hear it when I travel in other countries. "Oh, maybe you know so and so who is also from America." For 5.30 - I'm not sure how much of the world you have traveled Paulisima 🙂because this is definitely not true. I hear "I'm from Sydney" and "I'm from Tokyo" and "I'm from Moscow" and "I'm from Paris" and "I'm from Berlin" and so on. Just say no to stereotypes, it is safer, instead of saying "only Americans."
I traveled with a friend who constantly used people as props in Chiapas. It was so cringey. I tried to run away every time and I did ask her a few times to refrain!
Sounds like a shit friend

So I am full Mexican my mum is Mexican and my dad is Mexican so I’m full but people think I’m just on regular white boy because my skin is it as dark as my dad when he hears that he’s okay.

Soy estadounidense, y me cae muy mal a nuestra media. Solo queremos dividir la gente y nos hacen enojados. Deseo visitar a México pronto. Conozco a muchos Mexicanos y siempre practico el español con ellos :)
Bro, when I moved to Florida. Literally everyone and their mum asked me if I spoke Spanish. And I'm like bruh, I'm Asian. Like what the fuck??? Now I'm just like poquito. Because I started learning Spanish. Lol =op
Yes, it is not just South Florida -- the entire state assumes you understand some basic Spanish. 80% of kids in our schools are learning it - even in North Florida -- with the support of their parents. I am not fluent, I live in Palm Beach County, but when I am riding a train here or watching televsion with Spanish programming (I like telenovelas, they are the best), I understand most of the Spanish without even thinking about it.
Lol! I'm from sacramento and I lived in San Antonio as well!
If people ask me where I'm from, I just say california..
The reason why Americans say what city they're from, is because we usually only talk to other Americans or English speakers. So it makes sense to say your city. If we talk to people from another country, they already know we're American!
love this! some great home truths...mexico is a vast and vibrant country that doesn't need validation from anyone
Then why are they fleeing Mexico and coming to the U.S.
Considering they leave in droves daily, that’s an ignorant comment.
How can you immigrate to America and hate it?
I do answer with the name of my city 'Seattle'.. If I say Washington, everybody thinks I live by the White House, which is not the case. If it's a big enough city, most have a sports team and many people will know the city by the team.
I just came over for some tips.
Most of us think that spanish-speakers are all mexicans. But that's not always the case! It's just simply not true! I hate it when they assume this! Spanish unlike Mexico is spoken in other different countries, like Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico (US Territory), Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Spain, & even an african country Equatorial Guinea speak it. People need to know this so they won't assume the same thing like they always do! Si es la verdad!
As long as they make stupid remarks like saying citizens of a Nationality called America shouldn't call ourselves Americans then they're all just Spaniards to me. Stop being stupid on purpose and I'll treat you with empathy.
I want to learn more k can’t wait to use em all 😂
I had Monte's revenge once. I figured it was the water. I've been to Mexico several times and eaten plenty. It was a lot worse than a tummy ache. Things were flying out of both ends of me under great pressure. Great fun on a plane ride home I tell ya.

1. I have never heard of someone asking that.
2. If the Place is busy you are safe. ICE is rarely offered unless its filtered. Coca cola and Tecate light are always safe and delicious.
3. If you ask Most Mexicans they Reply with the Municipality they are from. Sinaloa MX , Jalisco, MX etc... But i also live on the border with TJ and TkT so that could ecplain it.
4. Time in MX is always mas o minus 15 minutes or whatever.
Cheers From San Diego!!
Excellent! You're so right :D Sinaloa, Jalisco, etc are not municipalities though, they're states but close enough ehehhe!!!
Our reply is always what State we’re from, not the City.
Wow. For sure some street vendors selling food are unsanitary. I know. First hand experience here, and no, it didn't involve drinking.
Yes, some. Everywhere. (I've been there too heheheh!)
We never ever buy food from street vendors. My husband is Nicaragüense, & we lived in Costa Rica for several years. Now we’re moving to Mexico. No offense to Mexicans. We apply this rule everywhere we go, including the U.S.
@@RUT812 @ that’s the problem people are becoming crybabies lol can’t say crap .
@@RUT812 Exactly, dont buy from street vendors in the US. and if you listen to the news, even the ice at major fast food restaurants can be unsanitary. its just a more common problem than we realize!
That "do you know so-and-so" question is not exclusive to Mexicans, as a Canadian visiting Europe and USA, I get that too, "Do you know my cousin Aldo who emigrated to Toronto in 1972 ?" No, I live on the other side of the country. Never had Moctezuma because I follow those common sense rules. At the all-inclusive resorts, my partner sticks with the Anglo offerings, I follow the Mexican persons and try to eat what they are choosing.
or "Oh, I've got a cousin who lives in San Diego!"
Um. I'm from San Francisco, 8 hours away, and the state of California is 14 hours long, from tip to tip.
I grew up in Belize and we used to drink water straight from the well, which if most people from the USA would drink would get sick. It's not that their food is not clean, Americans just aren't used to it
While I understand your point and agree for the most part, if someone where to make this video about 5 annoying things that Mexican do that Americans hate, it would be deemed as insensitive, racist, or ignorant and tone deaf. Just saying. I often find the hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance funny. For example, the rich gringos taking over CDMX. The reverse is also true in the USA, poor immigrants destroying property values etc. We are more similar than different, both bad and good. One thing, I do find kinda annoying about Mexicans in the USA, they assume nobody speaks or understands Spanish. I often find these overheard coversations to be insulting and rude. When I leave, I love to scare them with a shock.....Que tengas un buen día. Hablas Espanol? SI, vivi in Espana, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala asi que hablo casi con fluidez. Jaw drop, embarrassed, I walk out. This also happens to me in Latin America, so I guess it's not specific to Mexicans or the USA. Point: be careful to foster content that promotes kindness and acceptance rather than this....
Happens to me also..lol😅😅😅 I speak and understand Spanish and people assume because of my skin color that I don't. ❤
I had a friend from Mexico City who told me that when she came to New York, she got sick from drinking the water. 😀

To be fair “United States of America” is the only country in the world with the word “America” in its official title. I think that is why so many people from “EEUU” call it “America”. I only used the word in Europe and Japan, where it’s considered correct usage (then again, in Japan they call Great Britain “England”.

Certain people complain about Mexicans in America and go to Mexico and complain about Mexicans. I’m half Mexican and half White and I study my culture religiously. No, I don’t have the native tongue but I love Mi Raza!
I’m sorry but the only ones who make a big deal about Americans calling themselves American are people from Mexico and Central America. Rest of the world considers those from the US as being American, Mexicans are from Mexico, Guatemalans from Guatemala, Salvadorans from El Salvador, etc etc. isn’t that hard on a concept to understand. Now if you are willing to accept that all the negative stereotypes that the world has of Americans is also associated to you ( a Mexican) then sure, you can refer to yourself as an American if you want to 😉
Well they're American if they come here just like any other.
Great video. I appreciate how the use of soy americano can come across as somewhat arrogant. However, you used "American media" instead of media in the United States in the next example. It simply is easier. Now as someone who lived in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 for 3 years, assuming Americans even realize this can be offensive to others in the Western hemisphere is a stretch as many do not even know Peurto Ricans are "Americans." Tks again!
If it annoys people that you call the United States "America," then that's stupid. I don't care what you learned in school. Many Americans will call the US "America," but no other country will. Therefore, you should know what people mean when they say "Soy Americano." People who get critical about semantics should cease to exist on the planet.
I love your honesty and candidness. Americans need to understand ans accept that they are NOT the centre of the western hemisphere! Bravo!!!
Exactly. So stay in your own places and don't come here any more if you're just here to cause trouble.
As an American person with Latin decent, the one thing I do not like about Mexican culture or any Latin culture in particular is the heavy drinking other than that, the food and the music is amazing and everything else. Tequila is pretty nice but more than one shot is crazy. I don’t know how people can drink to the point of vomiting or until they fall face forward .
She's one spicy taco
I agree, people are not props!
I can’t remember if it was a Mexican or a Puerto Rican who told me it was considered rude to say I was “American” when asked where I was from. I always say “the United States” when asked as as a result.
There are bacteria in the water that your body gets used to. I never had any problems in Mexico; but the first time I went to Colombia, I was sick for almost a month.
You haven’t traveled as an (USA) American. Most people will almost make fun of you if you say American since many are obviously American or they already heard us talk. Well I know that, what part? Then they ask region, state, city. It’s easier to just fast-forward to city.

Mexicana woman, I don't undertand why you will get offended. NUmber one most people including Americans will associate even El Salvadorians as Mexicans. Im from the Philippines and I get mistaken for a mexican or whatever latin country I don't get offended at all. and so many things I can say here. I was born in the Phiippines and now naturalized American and been living in USA for 45 years so I am a "Gringa" currently I remember when I didnt get sick with stuff tap water or street foods in the Philippines but after being in USA for awhile I couldn't believe that I can get sick with that from my home country mother land that I love and still do. And if you are offended with these 5 things about Mexicans stop selling those stuff on the tourists spots or stop being insecure. It shouldn't offend you. And I did get sick in Mexico different places which I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET SICK anywhere most especially Mexico cuz I have Mexican blood. I have been told when I say I am from the Phiippines there are so many nanny's babysitters where I live in DC (DC Maryland VA usually baby sitters are filipinos-Nanny's) CLEANING PEOPLE are from different Latin American Countries. These jobs are all good jobs and if we didn't have these blue collared workers or hard labor workers as I call them, the whole world will collapse! I can only admire people who does work most especially the types of jobs I cannot possibly tackle: cucinera, bus boy, cleaning person for houses and offices, baby sitters, house maids even a nurse, since most filipinos are NURSES! lol Have a nice day!
If someone asks me where I'm from I reply North America! Which geographically includes Mexico USA and Canada.
