@@mindful_wander Not all Mexicans are loud though. It depends on where you are from. As a Central/South Mexican what drew me to Japanese culture were the similarities in things like etiquette and manners. In Central/South Mexico politeness and etiquette are extremely important. These are areas more influenced by indigenous culture of Mexico. Loud people and show offs are not well liked. Also we are very passive aggressive and indirect when it comes to saying no or telling someone off. I've always hated the idea that Mexicans are supposed to be "loud and spicy" as were I'm from it's not like that at all. The one thing I will say is very different is that we are much more affectionate as a general rule.
@@matjbI think he's referring to what Brandon said about caring what others think I'm from a Mexican homogeneous area in TX and there's this side that he describes in some families, as well as (and very commonly so) families that are extremely reserved and very much care about what others think Just my 2 cents, reporting from the border of Tamaulipas!
I am half romanian and half mexican, let’s just say that combining a latin american with an eastern european means that I’ll be an alcoholic when i grow up.
This is beautiful, being a child of two extremely different cultures makes you able to see the duality of this world. You should feel bless and embrace both. How lucky for you.
It’s rude of me to say, but I’ve always felt like Japanese culture was colder, more reserved, almost restrictive. Even in the food, raw fish or seafood I see as “cold” food. I know there are many great things about the culture too. It’s just that I’m Native American and we are usually very reserved and stoic too, with some drawbacks, and my husband’s family who is Salvadorian is warm. Big laughs, spicy delicious food that feels like “warm food” to me. So I’ve become extremely (and happily) accustomed to his culture. I’m glad his culture rubbed off on me. It’s easier now to express my emotions.
That's wonderful that you've seen those things in your husband's family! Sorry your native American heritage has not provided as much warmth but perhaps you were meant to experience that warmth for yourself and share it with those that have not 🙂
Im Mexican and I know we love us some beer and correct me if I’m wrong but I know Japanese get their drink on! There’s a great Japanese spot I love to hit when I feel like drinking and their Ramen noodle soup is amazing it’s called Shin Sen Gumi I’ve been going there for years and back in the day I used to always show my appreciation to the chef and offer him a glass of Sapporo which he never turned down and it was a mandatory thing for us to always drink one together but it wasn’t like we sipped on the beer till it was finished we used to take it down like a shot at the same time which wasn’t easy for me but for him it was normal. I always tried to finish it faster than him but failed to do so every time and the crazy part was that it wasn’t his first beer of the night almost all regulars would do this with him but like a true champ he always took it down before anyone. He had it down to a science he would simply take it down in one gulp and this is a full glass no cap Fr. So I know that beer is huge in Japan cause we became close friends and I soon realized that almost all Japanese would get their drink on like the Irish upon waking up and till they knocked out 😊
Looking at you, I see both the Japanese and Mexican features and it’s so interesting. I’m full Colombian and grew up in the US. One of my cousins married a Japanese man and we have half Colombian and Japanese babies. Even though one of my best friends is Japanese and I’ve been exposed to his home and his customs at him home, when our families meet up it is such a shock. I’m way more loud and used to my big family (even by Latino catholic standards) just taking over and get togethers are always at least 20+ people and never dull. Someone’s always watching the kids, someone’s taking care of the food, someone’s taking turns keeping an eye are the tia/tio who gets a little too liberal with the Modelos. One of the first times we had a birthday party for one of the mixed babies, we had a bounce house and I was watching the little cousins play (there was maybe 4 or 5). When the Japanese kids joined, their individual moms came and watched with me. I told them that I could watch their kids if they wanted to go in and chat with the other adults, get some food, etc, because that’s what we usually do. We generally take turns so everyone kind of gets a break from their everyday thing and we can enjoy family we don’t see often. The looks I got, I felt so embarrassed because I’m pretty sure I insulted them. My friend later explained that I was pretty much a stranger so that wasn’t exactly polite and I hadn’t introduced myself or done anything to show respect, they technically didn’t know who I was. I just figured it was obvious which side of the family I was on. Lesson learned. Also, we’re big on affection (hugging everyone we meet, shake hands, kiss on the cheek, etc). That’s been hard to hold back with certain people because it is so ingrained in us.
The video is about Mexicans not latinos at no point are latinos mentioned stop trying to make everything Mexican about latinos not all latinos are Mexicans
I'm Mexican, but I tend to be quiet and reserved, but only when someone talk to me i tend to talk alot and be quite open but in a more in careless way.
@@ChicagoMillingCo.I’m half Mexican and half Ecuadorian . But was being in New York and lived my whole life in nj and I mostly quiet but when I meet new people I always talk a lot of they talk a lot and if I meet guy I give a hard shake. But if I also adapt if I see a family who is mostly reserved I will def greet them and be more reserved in talking to them
Well provincial Mexicans are more reserved and more respectful to strangers, compared to Mexicans from big cities. Once you become acquainted with Mexicans they will treat you as family . Mexicans can be loud , but also well mannered for the most part never forgetting a handshake or hug on arriving or departure, respecting and showing compassion for children and the elderly. Most are extroverted and like to socialize. Dont be surprised if upon meeting a Mexican , you are at a party within the hour.
My Mexican mom has a bad habit of talking over my conversations with my siblings, but I've learned to involve them into the conversation whenever possible. She wants to talk too.
Depends on what kind of Mexican. I'm central Mexican and what drew my to Japanese culture are actually the similarities. Central/South Mexicans highly value humility and politeness. If you're someone who is a know it all, is loud, or a show off, you will not be well liked. You never say "No" and we have very round about ways of saying it that are very similar to how Japanese people do it. There's less consumerism. Love of nature. The hierarchy of elders or more experienced people at work is also there though not in such a concrete way. There's also something about the way people express themselves and even body language that I find is similar to Asians. This plays a role in the beef between US born Mexicans vs Mexican Natives as they often rub Mexican natives the wrong way for not being as toned down and reserved. I've never really liked the stereotype that Mexicans are "loud" and "spicy" as the kind of Mexican I always grew up around was always super polite.I believe what marks the difference is here is Mexicans who are more influenced by indigenous culture of Mexico tend to be somewhat more Asian-like where as northern Mexicans are the more cowboy-type ones.
So interesting 🤔. I’m US Mexican, but I definitely Identify more with the Japanese and Native Mexican personality. Very polite, quiet, and reserved. Always thinking about how my behavior is affecting others in public and making a very great effort to be respectful. I’m even an aspiring minimalist!
@@Oyuki-Mayonesa Yes Native Mexicans imo are some of the most educated people in all of Mexico. They even have successful autonomous governments in their communities. They're also extremely good at expressing themselves in Spanish and their indigenous language. I've never liked that "spicy" latino image personally.
There's no beef between native Mexicans and US Mexicans the beef is between southern Mexicans and Northern Mexicans. You guys have always h8 us because we're closer to the US. Be real about it.

Respect is important in both cultures. We also celebrate our ancestors as Day of the Dead. Mexicano we hug and my Japanese family hate it. But, they know me now.. they love the Hugs.😅
@@alejandrogerardo9832eh, not really, a lot of us work long hours, focus on having kids because thats the only life we know & down our sorrows with alcohol. japanese people at least are more educated so they're better presented with more opportunities outside of their circle and have a better chance of choosing a life best suited for them, not saying the japanese don't have their own problems, however because we talk a lot doesn't mean others don't enjoy life any less. I mean, im introverted & reserved, stay away from the party scene even though I love party music, id say im someone who doesn't enjoy humans but enjoys life
I love this. I’m black and white and it’s basically the same thing. My African American side is loud loving and caring while my Caucasian family side is more quiet and reserved
Japanese people probably think he's some other Asian or from the west (US or Europe). They don't know about other countries other than their own and their neighboring countries.
You don't have to care about how you are perceived by others. Just be yourself, It is healthy to establish boundaries. I am from neither culture. I am from Spain, also a warm and "loud" culture. We normally let people be. I personally value honesty a lot.
Hi, Brandon as a Mexican who is married to a Vietnamese I would say Southeast Asians are more similar to Latinos or Mexicans in general in many ways compared to Japanese and Koreans and Chinese. Latinos and asians: family oriented, strong work ethic, manners, respectful, discipline, food 🥘 very important, religious. Difference: Latinos: emotional people, short tempers, argumentative, strong personalities, loud, late ⏰ I would say Mexicans can’t really speak for the rest of Latinos. Touch expression with hugs or kisses. Energetic, dancers , talkative. Asians: calm, time always on time. Karaoke 🎤, materialistic, quite with others but with family loud. Eat a lot I mean a lot. Work mentality, money 💴 money 💴, narrow minded not all but some are very. Clean got to be clean. Strict , superstition, high ceilings in professions.
Anthony, you hit on SO many good points! Of course, none of these characteristics speak for every single person within those groups (You definitely seem like someone that understands that nuance already) But I've heard and experienced many of these same characteristics from Asians and Latinos, and I've dated Vietnamese women in the past and even they would talk about those characteristics within Vietnamese culture, specifically. Thanks for sharing! Well thought out!
@@lykndeltoro2269 no not every latino is the same but we do share alot of similarities. Language,religion, family oriented, loud, dancers, short temper. I would say only say that Mexicans in general tend to be very late ⏰. For other latinos I cannot speak for. I have friends Central America and South America hardly any of them eat spicy 🌶️ food and some are not heavy drinkers either.
@@mindful_wander my question to you Brandon is we’re both your parents first generation Mexican and Japanese Americans. Reason why I ask is because their is a lot of difference between first generation Mexicans compared to third or fourth generation Mexicans. I can only speak for myself but I noticed many Mexicans that date someone from another ethnicity their kids hardly ever speak Spanish. The reason my siblings are all married to white folks and one is married to a Greek. Not once did I ever hear my siblings teaching their kids Spanish. Personally for myself I think is very important and I speak to my kids only Spanish and my wife speaks to them only Vietnamese makes a bit happy that they can speak and understand both and English of course but their is always the translation they have trouble with.
Do you speak fluent Spanish and Japanese? If so that’s awesome, I want to learn Japanese to go visit Japan, even if it’s just basic enough to get around.
I would characterize mexico by how proud, celebratory and lively we are. We sure do stand out rather than blend in and I feel like this is the big difference between the two.
What a great mix! As a half Asian myself, it’s always fun to see both sides of the culture. You can feel left out of either side sometimes, but you should learn to be proud of it!
My parents are mexicans but I was born in the U.S., so I'm an american but I've always admired so much more about the Japanese culture than my own, I just love their etiquette so much, I even took the time to learn Japanese and then take Japanese ettique lessons, when I'm very fluent I can't wait to practice my etiquette and Japanese to Japanese tourists and surprise them
Idk where I came from then because I’m very reserved in that way as well and have a lot of those traits that the Japanese seem to lean towards, might just be leaned behavior? But then again I wasn’t raised Mexican. Just happen to be Mexican lol
Matt may I agree with you like it’s literally so true like if someone’s like about to drink a drink like a drink drink like a adult drink they would be like oh give me that gonna be like no but this is mostly the drunk Dios when they’re drunk and then fighting, starts happening and then screaming fighting, and then the couch will be in the kitchen, or in the attic, or in someone’s room
Ooh that one is super tough. I love both. I think Japanese god tends to be a bit healthier, so I guess I’d lean more towards that. I’m not a foodie and I see food mostly as just fuel, so healthy and efficiency beats flavor for me. What do you think?
Im black american and my husband is mexican and cuban but raised by his mexican side. I am expecting and honestly cant wait to see what temperament our son inherits from both sides. But even within cultures i realized there is so much variance. For instance my husband is from los angeles, so theres a very specific flavor of chicano from which he was raised. Im from central Ohio, where i find black culture differs a lot from our southern counterparts. So while his family is very loud and colorful and religious, my family is verh reserved, quiet and more secular in how we live (despite the fact my parents and grandparents are christian).
Hello fellow Brandon lol, I definitely resonate with some of the characteristics you described in each culture. I myself am Black, Mexican, & Japanese so it's a whirlwind of different customs and how we express ourselves to one another. The most significant difference between the 3 is the little things in how we navigate conversations, family structures, and how we express love for one another.
As a Hispanic (American but born from Mexicans) I agree with that other half, it’s a wonder how my family didn’t get a noise complaint when living in America XD
Love japanese culture, also im Hispanic. Mexican, cuban, salvadorran and Honduras are my ethnic race and born in America. But, i always dream of marrying a japanese lady. Almost possible.
Well the question is this, am I a enemy to something I'm not to them. Is it possible that should exist or do you want Satan to rule the world like that. God doesn't want that.
@@LuisCruz-rv9yo like I said Mexican you are not central Americans are not Mexicans they have nothing to do with Mexicans they have no history in the US
You seem familiar, maybe I've seen your face somewhere in Mexico but also different. I think Native Americans and Spaniards feel the same when they see me.
Sooo cool! I'm curious as to how your parents met. I think that's a beautiful mux of cultures. There's some Mexicans that care about "el que diran". Do you speak both languages?
He stated in past videos that he does not speak either language fluently. His parents met in California, where the Mexican and Asian communities is quite large. It’s easy to meet Asians in California.
I think both cultures are extremely humble… us Mexicans are extremely loud and talk over one another bc it’s out of humility lol, maybe not a quiet humility like other cultures but humility none the less… but show me a Mexican who doesn’t have an open mind and intrigue towards other cultures
We are loud, even the quiet ones. 😅 Once I was too loud (just raised to my family’s volume-literally the same volume) and they all were like… she ok? Lmao. I’m outspoken with my friends, bro! Sorry I forgot where I was.
Rare mix. I’ve only come across another person with this same mix. I’m a quarter Japanese and the rest Mexican. I grew up with my Mexican mother and not my Japanese side of the family so I would consider myself more Mexican but carry a lot of Japanese traits.
We're polar opposites. Japanese people are much more polite and considerate. Mexicans... we're much more abrasive and loud. But never a Japanese stranger will help you navigate a subway station... While Mexicans while even buy you a ticket, pat you on the back and share some taquitos with you.
At what point are latinos mentioned? At no point are central Americans mentioned. Not once. The video is clearly about Mexican culture not latinos not central Americans.
@@swiftstreak98 only Mexicans are raza only Mexicans are brown pride only Mexicans can be chicanos. The video is about Mexican culture at no point are slavatruchas mentioned. Only Mexicans are raza.
@@lykndeltoro2269 Don't be racist especially because not all Mexicans are dark plus the way I was raised I don't see skin, or nationality, all I see is Raza
I have to know the answer to this.. I have seen this numerous times at all the grocery stores in my area. Is it a cultural thing to take up the entire isle and be completely unaware of their surroundings? It happens every single time I'm at the store and it's always a mexican family. I'm always dumbfounded of the situation. I have no problem with any race other than the miniscule dumb quirks each have. But I've always wondered if maybe I wasn't alone with this observation
Mexicans are openly loving, genuine, and kind. We may be loud, but that doesn’t mean we are rude.
I agree
Really? I live in California and every Mexican person I encounter here is nothing but rude and arrogant. No matter how friendly or kind I am to them.

Not all latinos are the same. Every latin American country has it's own identity history and culture.
@@mindful_wander You should have made the video about latinos if you had so much to say.
@@lykndeltoro2269 no not every latino is the same but we do share alot of similarities. Language,religion, family oriented, loud, dancers, short temper.
I would say only say that Mexicans in general tend to be very late ⏰. For other latinos I cannot speak for. I have friends Central America and South America hardly any of them eat spicy 🌶️ food and some are not heavy drinkers either.
@@mindful_wander my question to you Brandon is we’re both your parents first generation Mexican and Japanese Americans.
Reason why I ask is because their is a lot of difference between first generation Mexicans compared to third or fourth generation Mexicans. I can only speak for myself but I noticed many Mexicans that date someone from another ethnicity their kids hardly ever speak Spanish. The reason my siblings are all married to white folks and one is married to a Greek. Not once did I ever hear my siblings teaching their kids Spanish. Personally for myself I think is very important and I speak to my kids only Spanish and my wife speaks to them only Vietnamese makes a bit happy that they can speak and understand both and English of course but their is always the translation they have trouble with.
Good food either way
Haha you're so right
Do you speak fluent Spanish and Japanese? If so that’s awesome, I want to learn Japanese to go visit Japan, even if it’s just basic enough to get around.
My boyfriend of almost 6 years is Japanese and Salvador so it’s so great to see this 💕
That's cool. Do you think he had similar feelings or has his experience been very different? Thanks for sharing Skyler
Slavadorans are central Americans not Mexicans ig no rant po s
@@mindful_wander Why would his experiences be the same? slavadorans are not Mexicans. Mexicans are not central Americans. Ig no rant po s.
@@lykndeltoro2269 I promise you it is not that serious
@@britkittyxo It is, central Americans have nothing to do with Mexicans. Ig no rant po s
I would characterize mexico by how proud, celebratory and lively we are. We sure do stand out rather than blend in and I feel like this is the big difference between the two.
What a great mix! As a half Asian myself, it’s always fun to see both sides of the culture. You can feel left out of either side sometimes, but you should learn to be proud of it!
i love this. my children are bi racial. this is a beautiful way of describing your cultures. you seem to of gotten the best of both. 🙂👍
Aw thanks Kim! I wonder how your childrens' experiences will unfold
Hallelujah! Thanks, Brother Nolan! 💛🎁
My parents are mexicans but I was born in the U.S., so I'm an american but I've always admired so much more about the Japanese culture than my own, I just love their etiquette so much, I even took the time to learn Japanese and then take Japanese ettique lessons, when I'm very fluent I can't wait to practice my etiquette and Japanese to Japanese tourists and surprise them
Mexican are also Americans.
I’m also big on respect so I would definitely I think get along with japs as a Hispanic American
I think the word youre looking for brother is passionate. Thats the best way to describe us. We're passionate.
Sounds good
Yes one is dying the other is thriving
Handsome ahh man
My nephew Tanner he’s Hybrid Mexican x Japanese actually have two Johnny .
Idk where I came from then because I’m very reserved in that way as well and have a lot of those traits that the Japanese seem to lean towards, might just be leaned behavior? But then again I wasn’t raised Mexican. Just happen to be Mexican lol
Matt may I agree with you like it’s literally so true like if someone’s like about to drink a drink like a drink drink like a adult drink they would be like oh give me that gonna be like no but this is mostly the drunk Dios when they’re drunk and then fighting, starts happening and then screaming fighting, and then the couch will be in the kitchen, or in the attic, or in someone’s room
Latin americans tend to be caring about each other
The video is about Mexicans not latin Americans at no point are latinos mentioned not all latinos are Mexicans
Great video, my daughter is also half Mexican and Japanese. It’ll be interesting to see how she comes to understand that in the future!
Cool! Yea, that will be very interesting. Every person's experience is so unique. Have you asked her what she thinks so far?
Are u Mexican?
Oooh! Which culture's food do you like better?? 🥡🌮
Ooh that one is super tough. I love both. I think Japanese god tends to be a bit healthier, so I guess I’d lean more towards that. I’m not a foodie and I see food mostly as just fuel, so healthy and efficiency beats flavor for me. What do you think?
UR RARE AF
It’s chad 🤯
¡Guau!
Al ser descendiente de dos culturas completamente diferentes, ¡tienes un punto de vista muy interesante!
¡Si! Muy diferente. gracias
Im black american and my husband is mexican and cuban but raised by his mexican side. I am expecting and honestly cant wait to see what temperament our son inherits from both sides. But even within cultures i realized there is so much variance. For instance my husband is from los angeles, so theres a very specific flavor of chicano from which he was raised. Im from central Ohio, where i find black culture differs a lot from our southern counterparts. So while his family is very loud and colorful and religious, my family is verh reserved, quiet and more secular in how we live (despite the fact my parents and grandparents are christian).
Hello fellow Brandon lol, I definitely resonate with some of the characteristics you described in each culture. I myself am Black, Mexican, & Japanese so it's a whirlwind of different customs and how we express ourselves to one another. The most significant difference between the 3 is the little things in how we navigate conversations, family structures, and how we express love for one another.
No you're not
@@lykndeltoro2269 I am.
@@brandonsoto6603 no you're not

As a Hispanic (American but born from Mexicans) I agree with that other half, it’s a wonder how my family didn’t get a noise complaint when living in America XD
😂
Love japanese culture, also im Hispanic. Mexican, cuban, salvadorran and Honduras are my ethnic race and born in America. But, i always dream of marrying a japanese lady. Almost possible.
No you're not you maaras slavatruchas are saying you're Mexican by default zerotes Centro Americanos are not Mexicans
Well the question is this, am I a enemy to something I'm not to them. Is it possible that should exist or do you want Satan to rule the world like that. God doesn't want that.
@@LuisCruz-rv9yo like I said Mexican you are not central Americans are not Mexicans they have nothing to do with Mexicans they have no history in the US
You seem familiar, maybe I've seen your face somewhere in Mexico but also different.
I think Native Americans and Spaniards feel the same when they see me.
Sooo cool! I'm curious as to how your parents met. I think that's a beautiful mux of cultures. There's some Mexicans that care about "el que diran". Do you speak both languages?
He stated in past videos that he does not speak either language fluently. His parents met in California, where the Mexican and Asian communities is quite large. It’s easy to meet Asians in California.
I think both cultures are extremely humble… us Mexicans are extremely loud and talk over one another bc it’s out of humility lol, maybe not a quiet humility like other cultures but humility none the less… but show me a Mexican who doesn’t have an open mind and intrigue towards other cultures
I'm a Mexican but I don't really have much of a culture everybody's going to have a culture rather you accept it or not.
Thanks Brandon for showing how powerful and cool our race of Japanese and Mexican!
Thank you! It is cool, right??
@@mindful_wander agree 👍
We are loud, even the quiet ones. 😅 Once I was too loud (just raised to my family’s volume-literally the same volume) and they all were like… she ok? Lmao. I’m outspoken with my friends, bro! Sorry I forgot where I was.
Bro is the hardest working human on earth

Thank you Sarah! What do you want to hear/watch more about?
@@mindful_wander Hellooo from the Philippines! Thank you for replying. I want to know more about Mexican food and it's origins. ☺️😘
Im also japanese and mexican and this is so true
I’ve had Japanese culture summed up as being centered around social obligations. While Mexican culture is centered around the immediate family/village
Rare mix. I’ve only come across another person with this same mix. I’m a quarter Japanese and the rest Mexican. I grew up with my Mexican mother and not my Japanese side of the family so I would consider myself more Mexican but carry a lot of Japanese traits.
Isn't there a Chicano culture fad in some cities of Japan? Wonder why they're influenced by such opposite styles of culture
Japanese seem more boring
Eres un azteca samurai 😊
Amen
Not necessarily true, the indigenous cultures are more reserved in nature.
Wonder if he knows both languages making him tri lingual
For me, I am bilingual being raised by Mexican immigrants and I live in the US
We're polar opposites. Japanese people are much more polite and considerate.
Mexicans... we're much more abrasive and loud.
But never a Japanese stranger will help you navigate a subway station... While Mexicans while even buy you a ticket, pat you on the back and share some taquitos with you.
Yess. My grandpa visited Mex. Took a bus, randomly met a nice woman on the bus and ended up spending the weekend at her family’s house 🏠!!
What is your height if you are both?
I love Japan culture
And I'm proud of my Mexican and native American culture
lol this guy is the ethnicity’s i dreamed of being
That’s right am not happy about it but it is what it is.
Do you struggle with being between two cultures?
Very true hermano, we Mexicans are loooud lol.
and proud. Beautiful culture!
The thing about us Latinos is that we just say what comes to mind (I'm Salvadoran American)
At what point are latinos mentioned? At no point are central Americans mentioned. Not once. The video is clearly about Mexican culture not latinos not central Americans.
@@lykndeltoro2269 Technically we are still Raza
@@swiftstreak98 only Mexicans are raza only Mexicans are brown pride only Mexicans can be chicanos. The video is about Mexican culture at no point are slavatruchas mentioned. Only Mexicans are raza.
@@lykndeltoro2269 Don't be racist especially because not all Mexicans are dark plus the way I was raised I don't see skin, or nationality, all I see is Raza
@@swiftstreak98 don't be in Mexican comments if you don't want hear the truth.
Mexico and Japon 💪🇲🇽🇯🇵👍
Are you Mexican and Japanese?
I love Mexican culture! It’s much better than Japanese culture
Nice. What do you like about it?
@@mindful_wander It’s pretty much beautiful in every way
Debatable. I say this as a son of Mexican immigrants by the way.
Japanese culture > Mexican culture
Naw. Mexican is more fun
@@Miraak59 More violent and not even as disciplined as the Japanese.
“Both. Both is good”
There are pros and cons to both.
I’m Japanese and telling you that we get louder when we have alcohol at the table 😅
lol good point! Izakaya?
The way I see it is the Japanese are our primos who had strict parents, yea they’re disciplined but they know how to have fun like us Mexicans 😂
Mexican culture slaps 💯
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
🇲🇽 ❤
I have to know the answer to this.. I have seen this numerous times at all the grocery stores in my area. Is it a cultural thing to take up the entire isle and be completely unaware of their surroundings? It happens every single time I'm at the store and it's always a mexican family. I'm always dumbfounded of the situation. I have no problem with any race other than the miniscule dumb quirks each have. But I've always wondered if maybe I wasn't alone with this observation
Well as a Mexican i am not going to stab myself with a dagger because i dropped some frijoles during dinner and disrespected my family.
Are you part Japanese Part Mexican 🤔. Or Full Japanese ?
Yes sir. Half and half.
Your Western features are more dominant than your Eastern features.
Japanese: quiet
Mexican: loud
Both cultures awesome
Yowza, what a good looking bloke…
Thanks, friend!
Tipping in Mexico has gotten out of control. They feel entitled to it, especially lazy Yucatecos.
