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

Middle america or mid for short
There is already a middle america
now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper-class city
Havin' this happenin',
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
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.
Did Helmut Marko make this meme?
Idk lol
Wait until people learn what Mexico's real name is.
It's the United Mexican States, if anyone's wondering.
Estados Unidos Mexicanos
Central America...
Central goes from Guatemala to Panama. Mexico still.north america, that's what I learned at school, unless americans change it.
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.
this is correct
Don’t all South Americans speak Mexican? Except Brazil?
speak Mexican
Lol
But if we labelled the US as central it would be funny and probably piss off some bigots.
We should call them wrong America
america's backroom
I live closer to the Canadian border but I've never heard anyone call Mexico South America.
I have and i live on the border of us/mexico basically. It's funny.
I haven't, and I also live on that border... Super weird haha.
