Mexican stigma

 Not all Spanish speakers are Mexican. I have had this occur many of times to my friends and I that speak Spanish. We would be sitting there speaking Spanish and a stranger would approach us and ask “hey are you two Mexican”. I suppose it shouldn’t bother me as much because I am Mexican but it tends to hit a nerve when I hear it. The language spanish originated from spain not mexico, so why is everyone that speak the language mexican?Just because people speak Spanish it doesn’t mean there Mexican. Mexico is not the only Spanish speaking county in the world. Spanish is the most spoken language in the world with 20 countries speaking the language. I don’t just look at it in my view but in other peoples and races perspective. I’m sure people from other Spanish speaking countries don’t enjoy being called a race they are not. With that being said it may cause an altercation between the “Mexican” and the person making the stigma. An altercation that should be limited or should not occur. Overall i believe it will be resolved it just may take some time.
