I live closer to the Canadian border but I've never heard anyone call Mexico South America.

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago

I have and i live on the border of us/mexico basically. It's funny.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Central goes from Guatemala to Panama. Mexico still.north america, that's what I learned at school, unless americans change it.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

But if we labelled the US as central it would be funny and probably piss off some bigots.

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

We should call them wrong America

america's backroom

Am American, when I was in school (just about 6 years ago), I was taught that everything above Panama is North America and below is South.

Central America wasn't considered a continent but just a way to label a region, similar to the label middle east. Central America was, as you described, below Mexico to above Colombia.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

this is correct

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Don’t all South Americans speak Mexican? Except Brazil?

[-] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months ago

speak Mexican

Lol

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

I live in America and have seen this attitude way too often.

Or , of course the alternate approach where everything south of Brownsville is “Mexico” or Brazil

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 months ago

Middle america or mid for short

[-] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

There is already a middle america

[-] HottieAutie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

now it's a tragedy

Now it's so sad to see, an upper-class city

Havin' this happenin',

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

You'd think they would've included the whole continent of Souther America.

[-] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Wait until people learn what Mexico's real name is.

[-] bizzle@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

It's the United Mexican States, if anyone's wondering.

[-] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Estados Unidos Mexicanos

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

It's funny cus so often when you hear North America, they just mean US + Canada. Never heard Mexico called South America outright but it's generally lumped in with all Spanish speaking countries (plus Brazil) south of the US.
