Why are many Americans so ignorant regarding Spain and Hispanic America?

[Latinus]

I've lost the count of how many Americans call people from Hispanic America Spanish.

Spanish, when it comes to nationality, means people from Spain, and nothing more.

A Mexican, Venezuelan, Argentinian, Cuban... speaks the Spanish language, but their nationality is not Spanish, the same way Americans are not English and Brazilians are not Portuguese.

Is American history taugh in schools so anglocentric that they can't grasp a simple concept as that?

 

[Luffymaxxing]

Because Americans are some ignorant, fat, low IQ collagenless, underdeveloped, out of shape niggas

 

[Luffymaxxing]

You could ask Americans anything about their own history and they still wouldn't know the answer

Also add the fact that the USA didn't receive that many Spanish immigrants in the post-colonial period, most went to Hispanic America and Brazil.

Most of the Spanish blood in the US comes from Latam, not direcly from Spain.

But that's no excuse for her ignorance.

Spaniards is also right when it comes to natives from Spain.

Spanish or Spainiards work, americans are just ignorant and uneducated. They group all spanish speakers as being from ‘spanish’ descent.

If that guy was born south of the Rio Grande, he would be called "Spanish". Ops, I forgot, many Americans think blacks can't be latinos/hispanic.

Those Mexicans flooding the us are Amerindians they are not mestizo those are full blooded indios. Chicanos are usually literal Amerindians

Most Mexican-Americans in the west coast are 60% European on average, harnizo looking, and they mostly have roots from northwestern Mexico, which is mainly harnizo.

The new waves of Mexican-American immigrants are mainly from Southern Mexico, which is mainly Indo-Mestizo.
