  • It also really bothers me that they get to coin the whole American term when it’s a terrible representation of America as a continent, the USA doesn’t really even have a proper name, it’s a description, kinda like calling a dog Dog. Mexico’s full name is actually Mexican United States of America.
    I personally call them united-statesian when the word gringo doesn’t fit the context, which is the translation of estadounidense from Spanish. But it’s so stupid because whatever you call them applies to so many more people than just them because they don’t have a name! And their states are not really that united.




  • One of the most “prestigious” schools in Nuevo Leon, Mexico is Centro Universitario Franco Mexicano de Monterrey which was shortened to CUM for many many years and kids would wear it in their uniforms like that pic, they changed it a few years ago because whenever school teams went to compete to the US they’d get mocked relentlessly, now they’re CUFM. I wonder if this pic is from that school.
