To be fair, what other term would they use?

---

Estados Unidos

They are the Estados Unidos de Mexico so no they would never do that

quote:
Mexico is part of North America

So is Central America

Central America is a region, not a continent, in North America

What point are you trying to make?

quote:

---

The non-official United Nations geoscheme for the Americas defines Central America as all states of mainland North America south of the United States, hence grouping Mexico as part of Central America for statistics purposes, but historically Mexico is considered North America.

Hmmm.

The 7 Countries Of Central America
The seven countries, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Belize, of Central America make up a diverse region of modern cities, ancient cultural sites, and pristine wilderness areas. Central America is North America's southernmost region. It is an isthmus that connects Mexico in North America to Colombia in South America, separating the Pacific Ocean to the west from the Caribbean Sea to the east. It encompasses an area of 202,230 sq mi with a population estimated at 42,386,500 million inhabitants. Central America is only about 30 miles wide at its narrowest point, and no location on the isthmus is more than 125 miles away from the sea.

Central America comprises the seven nations of Belize, Costa Rica,
El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama - excluding Mexico.

Also, Central America is simply a region while North America is a clearly defined continent that includes all the Central American countries.

Yea I realize part of this discussion may be the fact we were taught differing things depending on what our history teachers/professors believed.

But as far as I can tell Mexico has never been considered part of Central America.

Clearly you miss the point of dry humor?

FWIW, College indicates undergrad and University indicates grad school work.

Oh yes I am melting right now

Central America is in North America

The people in Central America are basically fully indegenous. Mexicans are half white, especially northern Mexicans, which are the ones that populate south texas. They are usually 60-80% white.

You are just racist. It’s ok
