[SOUTHERNMEXICANBROLE]

i hate when people stereo type mexicans im from california and i worked and lived in tulsa oklahoma for 2 years and there were things i had to get used to like racist white people that look at you with disgust because you are brown and they think all mexicans are from mexico even if you tell them your from southern california born n raised they would not like if i stereo typed all oklahomans as dirty inbreed hillbillys in trailors that are dumb as fuck some of the most ugly people i have ever se

[longfootbuddy]

@SOUTHERNMEXICANBROLE you have to understand that whites stereotype other whites, and non whites stereotype whites, and non whites stereotype other non whites, and some guys just listen to their stereo

[ordostrom]

In Ecuador the campesinos call the city folk gringos

[BRACKUS001]

la palabra gringo viene de la guerra contra usa que los soldados y los civiles mexicanos no sabian ingles y como tenian ojos verdes era green go, queriendo decir ojos verdes vayanse

[rogeliogil]

@BRACKUS001 no era por el color de ojos, los uniformes de los soldados estadounidenses eran verdes, de ahí el green/go/home...gringo

[atena0159]

@rogeliogil Disculpa pero eso no es verdad, en ese entonces no se usaban los uniformes verdes, la verdad es que fue por un verso que declamaban los soldados en ingles, tiene que ver con campos verdes en inglés, y lo que los mexicanos escuchamos fue Gringo, por que la e se pronuncia como i.

[atena0159]

@atena0159 Translation: That is not true, at that time the US soldiers did not use green uniforms, the reason for gringo is because the soldiers chanted a verse about green meadows, or something like that, I do not really know, and what Mexicans heard was something like Griiiiiiiiiin or something like that, because the E in English sounds like an I in Spanish.

Hope that I do not sound pretentious

[Chompyburguer]

Y en español gringo significa extranjero, no es un insulto solo es una jerga del idioma español

[Chompyburguer]

Gringo = from other country :)

[BellTinker1985]

Arriba Oaxaca no que no nos quieren los gringos y hasta ban a Oaxaca y hablan español no k no mmmmmmm ke rico Chocolate

[sprimusp1]

@BellTinker1985 ¿Por qué tienen que decir "gringo?" Somos Americanos. Yo no digo Weback, Spic, Beaner, Illegal Alien, o Anchor Baby cuando se refiere a Mexicanos.

[brianthebj]

@sprimusp1 but Gringo is not an insult, where as all those other words (spic, and what not) are.

[sprimusp1]

@brianthebj I know it means different things in different spanish speaking countries, but doesn't it basically mean Foreigner? How can you call someone a Foreigner in their own country of birth? I know it may not be the intention of the person saying it, but they should know what it really mean and to all American, Gringo is an insult when we hear it.

[Geneva009]

They prepare iguana better in Nicaragua.

[jovany69]

@Geneva009

no one should prepare iguana is in extinction

[flyby7a]

" God Help us when we think  of in "AMERICA" when we talk about Mexican food".. <<--- WHAT??? well TONY just where in F UCK do you think Mexico is located?? EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA. or AUSTRALIA???

[sprimusp1]

@flyby7a Yes, we all no Mexico is located in the continent of America, but the world refers to the people who live in the United States as Americans not United Statians.

[CocaC]

4:20 how much we owe him? " twelve pesos! about a dollar!

[flyby7a]

This is dedicated to all of you who have eaten "Mexican Food" in the states.. You know the plate of beans with yellow melted cheese on top of it.. AND YOU THOUGHT YOU HAVE TASTED "MEXICAN FOOD" FOOLS...

[CocaC]

@flyby7a so true man!

[RevAlChitlin]

I bet he scored some weed too.

[RevAlChitlin]

I have been to that exact beach in Huatulco. And that blowfish he is molseting is tame and begs for food. The hotels throw bread to the fish to attract them for tourists. Those blowfish will look at you with their eyes above the water. Kinda creepy.

[RevAlChitlin]

I do this all the time but don't get pai for it.

[pahwraith]

My favorite is the hot chocolate and bread.

[ryaninwatson]

tony looks pretty skinny

[pahwraith]

I've been to that market, it's great.

[ArchArturo]

@pahwraith me too, the crickets are great.

[RevAlChitlin]

@pahwraith Really? Where is it?

[pahwraith]

@RevAlChitlin It's near the middle of Oaxaca City. Any guidebook worth it's salt should tell where it is. I wish I was there.

Huatulco is amazing, I'd visit before they finish the new highway and it gets overruns with Americans and Europeans.

[sprimusp1]

@pahwraith whats the difference? places where americans live is overrun with mexicans.

[alcatras4]

@sprimusp1 Well gee dude. Do you maybe..JUST MAYBE ..it's because we were there first...I mean CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, ARIZONA aren't exactly nice Jewish names. If you'd actually been to school you would know that they are SPANISH names, indigineous to SPANISH speaking people not to a bunch of hillbilly yahoos.

[valedorx]

great video !!!!!
