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.

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

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

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!🤣 😃

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.

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.

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!

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 always thought Montezuma's revenge was related to drinking the tap water. Also, I worked on a touristy fashion street when I was young. We dealt with people asking to take our photos all the time. I think Latin Americans were the only ones that didn't bother me for photos. The Japanese girls would say "Photo?", and before you could respond they were already posing and taking the picture. Europeans would generally very politely ask.

If we talk to people from another country, they already know we're American!

¿Cómo sigues soltero todavía?

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.

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.

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....

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.

my aunt looks like she is chinese, but she mexican. So cute i call her lil chinese she gets mad at me but its funny.

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.

Oh gosh I low-key cry when someone assumes I look white when I'm actually HISPANIC!!

@Vivyana, Hispanics don't come in one color. They can be white, mixed, dark, etc. Spain is hispanic and most spaniards are white/olive.

You cabe be both and you probably are both. Funny enough the OG Hispanic are all white

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.

1. Sorry, that person was stupid in so many ways. One, as you said, there are well over 100 million Mexicans in the world. Two, why would you know her cleaner? Insulting. 2. When I went to Nigeria many years ago, I got various shots so that I wouldn't have any issues eating the food, getting stung by the mosquitos, etc. Every region of the world has their stuff and the locals get used to it. The people that had issues in Mexico probably didn't research what they had to do to make sure they didn't have issues. 3. As someone who's never once been to Mexico and is only going on what I've read (and I'm going to answer this one before watching Paulisima's response), I'm going to guess this might be good advice. 4. While learning Spanish, I spoke with a language partner and made this mistake! America means more than just the United States! 5. Of course people aren't props. Again, it would be insulting to not just go up to a person and try to talk to them and get to know them. 6. I won't lie, I've thought to myself, "Ok, Paulisima has some Asian heritage in her somewhere"! However, I'm also smart enough to realize that Mexico is a melting pot, just like the United States. Selma Hayek's father (I believe it's her father) is from Lebanon. She's half Lebanese!

The main reason why some Mexicans may look somewhat Asiatic is because of their indigenous ancestry. Some native people of the Americas have Asiatic features.

I suppose you are right, the average common person in the USA is not interested in knowing about anyone other than their own country and that reflects ignorance and arrogance, like perhaps your family and that of almost the entire USA, my great-great-grandparents and thousands of others arrived in 1800s to Mexico from Ireland, and we have genetics from there, as well as thousands of French, Spanish, Italians and from all over the world, etc., who over the years have arrived and have had heritage here! Why do they assume that all Mexicans are dark? that is ignorance!!

Oh imagine if an American said something bad about Mexicans

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 live in Texas I have lived in Texas all my life and I love Mexican food far more than any other food. My wife was born in Chihuahua, Mexico and we always share our love Mexican food even where it's not really necessary. Like making American hamburgers really spicy or adding lime on something that you normally wouldn't put lime on. I have been to Mexico and their food is actually really good in Mexico. My one caveat to that is the water quality is not the best. They even used to have commercials about how to get rid of worms that you get from unsanitary water( this is regional). But that would not stop me from going back to Mexico and eating the food and drinking the water. It's definitely not the food itself, Unless your digestive system is not used to spicy foods. I remember as a child I had a friend that was from Ireland and he could not eat anything that my mother (white lady) put in front of him because she was raised in Texas. And Texas have a lot of Mexican influence even when they don't even realize it. I don't even think that you can consider yourself a Texan unless you've eaten a taco from a taco truck. And yes you need the pickled onions and Valentina hot sauce with cilantro and lime juice. I'm telling you "you haven't lived unless you've eaten it this way". But I digress.
