      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!🤣 😃

    • @simonchapman904
      @simonchapman904 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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😭😅

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.

    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.

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!
