    No, you are wrong. I said I don’t understand why people like to pretend they don’t know what it means when someone says something is American.

    You are fully justified in calling yourself an American if you are Mexican. But if you’re hoping to do it and have people generally understand that you’re talking about the continent and not the country - well kudos to you but you’ve got a real uphill battle.

      In any case, the comment you answered to literally just said “Isn’t Mexico in America?”. Which means all of that is “Made in America”. Which makes the headline wrong and untruth.

      You said that, somehow, saying that is weird? Is that objective truth weird to you? An iPhone made in Mexico is an iPhone Made in America. That’s all.

        Again, I said I don’t get why people play dumb about it. Sure, say it’s made in America when it’s Made in Mexico, but don’t act all confused when literally everyone thinks you mean the USA.
