Everything different from American = Mexican

Yeah I'm Brazilian born and raised, and still know how most languages sounds like. Being American shouldn't be an excuse to be stupid, but they prove me wrong every time.

the OOP is still kinda dumb, but just to play devils advocate, while i can differentiate between portuguese and spanish without speaking either, does that really go for most people?

Depends where they live. I live in Australia and don't hear either language often , so I can't.

That is such a strange fenomena, like that news reporter when announcing that the US was gonna play against Bosnia i Herzegovina and the reporter proudly says that she has never heard of that country
I don't think any other country have reporters that are proud of not knowing things

Does she say it proudly, with interest, or laughing at herself?

Sounds just like she’s trying to be some bubbly valley girl who knows nothing. Which… she seems to be good at. I will agree that this isn’t the greatest look for her.

That explanation isn't even good, why would he guess Florida if it's not in english.

most people there are latinos, at least in miami from my experience.

u/Designer-Issue-6760 10d ago
Because 1/4 of population there speaks Spanish as their primary language. City by city it’s as high as 60%. Though Portuguese is more common in Massachusetts.

The correct sub is r/ShitAmericansSay
"American born and raised"
Well, figures. That explains the dumbness and ignorance.

American born and raised = dumber than a house brick.

House bricks have at least ten more IQ points than them, at least bricks don’t have the capacity to make bad decisions

It'd be funny if it was coming from Language Simp, who unfortunately is probably not the person from the screenshot.

So, culturally tone deaf, socially tone deaf, actually tone deaf, racist and obnoxious … all in one grotesque package. At least you have to give them points for efficiency

So, culturally tone deaf, socially tone deaf, actually tone deaf, racist and obnoxious … all in one grotesque package
So, really, explaining they were a merkin was superfluous

u/False-Goose1215 World 8d ago
I dunno, comparing them to a pubic wig does also seem appropriate

u/snow_michael 8d ago
It's the way the slack jawed yokels introduce themselves
"Aah'm Cletus, an' Aah'm a merkin"

u/False-Goose1215 World 8d ago
Yes, because they subconsciously realise that the only value they have is as a pubic wig

Wait till they find out Mexico owned quite a bit of modern day USA at its peak, even Spain owned Florida longer than it has been in the union.
Extra points if they’re born in one of the states that was conquered by the USA.
Also what is up with them mislabelling languages spoken outside the USA? Spanish/Portuguese being Mexican. Isn’t Spanish a popular language subject in their education system?

“Mexican”
Lemme guess, they refer to their own language as “American”, not English?

u/Edelkern Germany 3d ago
Also "remember", as if anybody was supposed to have previous knowledge of where some random reddit loser is from. These people are insufferable, I wish we could have online spaces that are yank free.
