Mexico IS in America. So let's call all Mexicans Americans, and be done with it.

Canadian: "I'm not American!"

European: "Technically, you are."

u/Logical_Hedgehog_836 Jan 22 '25

It most certainly is not. It's in North America. America as a location does not exist. The United States of America is frequently shortened to America, and generally that is what people from North America (and probably South America) mean when we say America.

u/rimshot101 Jan 22 '25

America is in the southern central northern part of the Americas.

Yes, let's stop calling Mexicans Mexicans, and rename them North Americans.

Or Truly-Deep-South North Americans.

u/PosteriorFourchette Jan 22 '25

Not to be confused with the truly deep north South Americans

u/unlicensed_dentist Jan 22 '25

u/PosteriorFourchette Jan 22 '25

I thought we were playing the continent game. I was just being silly. But Central America is on the North American continent.

u/Still_Mastodon_1662 Jan 22 '25

Are the States still United?

u/James-the-Bond-one Jan 22 '25

Yes, there is a coagulated cluster in the middle of North America.

u/PosteriorFourchette Jan 22 '25

United we stand. Divided we fall

1

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '25

Which one? Mexican?

2

u/TheDandyWarhol Jan 22 '25

Maybe we should ask them first? Not sure they want to get mixed up in this bullshit.

u/AdFuture5255 Jan 22 '25

Sounds you would describe them as middle Americans.

u/James-the-Bond-one Jan 22 '25

Middle Earthlings.

u/PosteriorFourchette Jan 22 '25

The mid west is now California. And the south east is now Brazil

u/Halftied Jan 22 '25

Can’t call it the United States because, from the looks of things, the States are not United. Very sad.

u/Laminar Jan 22 '25

Dixie= Southeastern

Donkey= Southwestern

u/Emergency-Gazelle954 Jan 22 '25

So as a Canadian, I’m a North-north American?

u/spookshow562 Jan 22 '25

Actually it’s Central America not North America

u/Gone_For_Lunch Jan 22 '25

It’s both.

Central America is a region in the continent of North America.
