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.
I live closer to the Canadian border but I’ve never heard anyone call Mexico South America.
Did Helmut Marko make this meme?
Central America…
Central goes from Guatemala to Panama. Mexico still.north america, that’s what I learned at school, unless americans change it.
But if we labelled the US as central it would be funny and probably piss off some bigots.
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.
