See, this is why I can't make honest comments. I said I wasn't upset, but merely explained myself and why comments like that CAN be taken rudely.

This goes along the lines of a calling a black person the N word. The N word has lost virtually ALL meaning by today's standards, but you still don't go around spouting that word, right?

It's funny, you guys are making stupid comments like if I'm going to cry or something, but yet you all took my comment so serious and got butt-hurt over it.

Reply with what you will, I know who's the one getting upset, and trust me, it's not me.

Although I'm not upset, it is a very rude thing to say. We may not be a super power like US, but US Citizens are really the last people to mock or give other countries stupid nicknames like "Snow Mexican" when it seems the rest of the world hates US to be begin with.

It's like the most unpopular person in school going around calling other people names or making rude comments, yet he's still the most unpopular person there.

My two cents.

dude, I am Mexican, I'm sure the snow Mexico thing was referring to the part of the map around the northern area of Mexico with the clouds and not Canada, and the guy that brought it up was clearly joking, again I am Mexican and if I'm guessing correctly you are too, so this goes like this:


no es insulto ni nada por el estilo, si te fijas la primera persona que dijo lo de snow México lo dijo jugando ya que mencionó claramente a los Estados Unidos y México y luego dijo lo de snow México solamente por las nubes que había.
otro después dijo que "representando a snow México", ósea que ese amigo es de donde están las nubes (Los Angeles, California), alguien dijo que le dio risa lo de snow México y yo escribí que todo somos snow Mexicanos en el corazón, lo que, si acaso significa algo más allá del comentario, es que los mexicanos somos raza chingona, querida y buena onda.

Disculpa si te sentiste ofendido por el comentario, realmente lo último que quiero hacer es insultar a mi país querido, a algún otro Mexicano que anda por estos lados y por último a cualquier persona en general.

El dibujo es claramente una broma y debe ser tomado como tal.

Rant over...

in english I just stated that I am mexican, that the snow Mexico comment was obviously a joke and I thought it was referring to the cloudy part of the map around the northern part of Mexico and clearly not Canada or any other country, then another member stated that he is representing snow Mexico and he is clearly from LA so this just made me be sure that the snow Mexico comment was referring to this area. Someone else mentioned something and I said that we are all snow Mexicans at heart, which was my way of saying that Mexicans are really cool people.

The picture posted was clearly a joke due to the 5yr old way of drawing things and statements that are made. Those who think this is true are clearly joking or have a different view of the world that some of us don't share.

Again, sorry if anyone is offended by this comment since I obviously am Mexican and would never insult any other country and especially my own.

We are certainly making too much of this, something that started as a joke and now became a very touchy subject. Love to all, sorry for any confusion.
A proud mexican here, living in the US.

In regards to the US's popularity...

#1 - no one ever likes the big guy.
#2 - no one ever likes the big guy until ***** starts hitting the fan.

Another point to back up #2 - the US as a government more than doubles the next closest country in foreign aid given every year (which is Germany for those interested). This also doesn't include private donations which my guess is would also dwarf the other nations given the concentration of wealth in the US along with the thousands of international charities and causes we have here (free tibet, aids in africa, etc, etc, etc)

Just remember the above next time the whining starts about how terrible the US is, and how "ignorant" we are. In my opinion that's just flat out prejudice. Above all else - some here are making a mountain from a mole hill... the comment maker has said about 100 times now it was a joke. Relax.
