I live closer to the Canadian border but I’ve never heard anyone call Mexico South America.
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
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.
You’d think they would’ve included the whole continent of Souther America.
Middle america or mid for short
