Sorry if this sound to pussy or something like that. This Thread has been great, with outstanding clips. But, what Mad Scottsman says it's true. Not all the spanish speaking countries are mexican, there is only one with that name, and there are other 20 diffrent countries in Latin America, and there is Spain in Europe.
Every citizenship has it's own nationality pride, and the most of them would feel offended to be called mexican if they are not. It's not that being mexican is by itself ofensive, it only that we all love our countries, and we think our countries are as good as anybody elses.
Just to ilustrate. Even here in the United States of America, everybody has it's own sense of pride. A southern guy would feel offended if some foreigner just calls him "yankee", or any american would take as deadly insult being called "english" or "british", just because you all speak English.
With that out or my system, and an apology for boring you. Please, keep on with all the great postings.
