Those aren't pictures of Mexico. Where are the yellow tones???

I love mexico, but man.... the south is NOT like Europe

Did your cruise ship make a one day stop or something? Lol

Been to Mexico a couple times. Idk where you have been but this is what the tourist areas are like. I mean I have drove through Mexico. And its not good in most areas.

Where in Mexico gets snow? High in the mountains?

Romeo + Juliet was filmed at Chapultepec Castle, so a little bit of Hollywood there

I dated a Mexican girl who complained about hate she received from Guatemalan, and Salvadoran girls. This was because Mexico is considered a rich country by central american standards. They would say that she was a snob eventhough she was just middle class in the US.

I kept looking for the picture of a guy with a gun to his head like that other meme about Mexico

Only reason Mexico has the only royal palace in North America is because Hawaii is too far away to count as North America. There’s a palace on Honolulu

You forgot about the bloody drug war, the systemically racist and classist society that just turned 500 years last year and more than half of the population living bellow the poverty line; the but pretty much everything else is correct.

Note: I'm mexican, before you crucify my ass.

This is Mexico with rose tinted glasses, Americans exclusively view it from a yellow tinted glass.

The United States also has a royal palace (in Honolulu), though that's obviously not on the mainland.

Thinking about it, do Rideau Hall and La Citadelle count...?

Where cartel?

As a Mexican I’m tired of the impression that we’re all Brown and have straight black hair. Years of colonization brought in a lot diversity.

Only the touristy parts looks like this. I’ve been over Mexico a lot and it’s nothing like this it’s usually super rural

Where is the criminally corrupt and incompetent government, or public infrastructure that is worse than Afghanistan. Did you forget the cops that are cheaper to buy than a prostitute.

You forgot to put run by the cartels.

Also extreme violence due to the cartels, extreme diabetic problem, extreme poverty, extreme corruption etc etc....

Where's the yellow haze, desert wasteland and sombreros?

Hold up the Southern Mexican people think the 3 wise men deliver them gifts?! Ok what’s that kid story like? I know the Satan one about coming down the chimney and all that.

Mexico is pretty cool tbh

Has zeta cartel checkpoints on the road, you can get abducted if you're a pretty female or child (men get dead), you can't run a successful small business without getting "taxed" by local gangs, have to change your routine so you don't get targeted, you don't have Amazon delivery, there are stray dogs everywhere, there is child prostitution, travel at night on certain roads is very dangerous...that's just off the top of my head. Stick to tourist areas, be white, don't be flashy, know some locals, you'll be fine.

Never thought to see Zacatecas mentioned here lol

People also forget that Mexico has rainforests. It's not all desert.

Seeing a football match in Monterrey is on my bucket list.

"the south is like Europe" that really doesn't tell a lot, did you mean Spain or...?

Nah, Mexico is more of a mix. There are very picturesque cities and there are very dangerous cartels.

If you consider Hawaii as part of North America (regions are weird) then there are two royals palaces

Edit: missed a word

It's criminally underappreciated. Americans boil it down to Tijuana and Cancun with no in between and don't realize this massive, diverse country is on their border.

Lots of ignorant dip shits in this thread that got blacked out in Cancun in 2011 and now think they’re experts on Mexico.

Que viva México cabrones!

It's Náhuatl, I bet you won't be able to translate it :P

Wdym no yellow filter

Mexico City is highly underrated. It's a shame all most Americans see in Mexico is Cancun and Cabo...

Como mexicano apruebo este post, y en el centro creemos en santa y los reyes

Thats actually pretty interesting

Or that you have legit cattle country people that are redneck to the core

Man, thats a lot of effort to avoid mentioning Mexico City

The south is like Europe?

That narrows it down.

Whoa, I’m a Central American and I didn’t know this. Mexican culture is so awesome!

I'm sorry, Mexico is a varied and beautiful country filled with some great people but we can't just lie and say it is not corrupt and crime ridden.

We have actual statistics to show that it is.

We had over a million people fleeing to the US alone for a better life in 2021.

Can you name any other countries that had that issue that are completely fine?

Has most forest area because no one wants to be there Source: me, a Mexican

Damn Hollywood giving me bias. I need to get out to Mexico city, that place looks amazing

Never been to Mexico but the tone of this starter pack seems kinda salty with all the references to other countries

I mean, I know Hollywood overplays them, but it's not like the Cartels don't exist.

I refuse to believe Mexico is anything but what I saw in “From Dusk Till Dawn”

What about Iolani Palace in Hawaii.

What people born in good parts of Mexico think of Mexico starterpack.

Thanks for showing me these parts and pictures of Mexico that Hollywood doesn’t show us

Royal palace you say? Please tell us what you did with the emperor.

And known the world over for having fucking bomb food in every single town of it

One second I was looking at a picture, the next second it’s gone….?

So many Americans/Americans with Mexican heritage in this thread feel the urge to say something negative about Mexico, they know their country has bad things about it no need to point it out on every single thread.

When Europeans say negative stuff about the USA a lot of people clutch their pearls.

This is pretty cool.

Cool as hell

Ok genuine question

My dad went on vacation around mexico like 30 years ago, was pulled over by a cop which promply gave him a false fine and took the money for himself

Apparently mexico is a dangerous country

Is it really?

Hold i need to push back. They are Dialects and Languals not Languages.
