Mexico-No-No
(I’m a geography teacher and when we start a new unit my students have to color and label a map of the region we are learning about. The title of the map I gave them clearly reads “Central America and the Caribbean.”)
Student: “Why are we studying about all these Mexican countries?”
Me: “Well… Mexico is on there but it is only one country on the map.”
Student: “No, not Mexico. All these Mexican countries!”
Me: “You mean Central America?”
(He’s gotten some attention now and realizes he’s made a mistake but doesn’t get it still.)
Student: “All these Mexican… Hispanic countries.”
