Mexican culture reminds me of US culture in the 1950s. It was a much better time. When I was in Mexico before COVID closed down travel, I noticed how great it was to shop for food in the market. There were so many fresh foods. Butchers would cut meat for you and cheese makers would shred it fresh for you. The family culture is one my family still shares. I look forward to visiting friends in Mexico once again in a few months.
You nailed it in this video! I've been to Mexico twice now with my fiancé to visit family. My favorite difference is the family aspect. Like you said, family is important everywhere, but in Mexico it's next level. I love love love this point since we have five children together. Everything you do is family oriented and if you go somewhere, chances are family members are joining you too. I can't wait for the day we move there! :)
As a white northeastern American, I have to look through like 18 sour cream containers in the fridge before I find the one that’s actually sour cream 😂. I have no idea where the pots in the oven thing came from, but the “free Tupperware” thing is just common sense to me.
I grew up relatively poor in the US in the 1970s, and we reused plastic butter tubs for food storage all the time! Our cups were also old cheese and butter containers that were designed to be reused as such.
Been living in Mexico for ten years married to a Latina. It's funny how the food containers and some traditions are similar to me as I grew up in the south of the USA. Love the Mexican people and traditions.
I’m a hillbilly as well from the mountains and I just don’t see the similarities myself. From first hand experience I would compare at least the illegal Mexicans around here to that of the gang culture of blacks
😂😂😂very interesting I think italians and mexicans, as maybe latins, have something in common. The importance of the family, stay all together... The flip flop weapon😂😂😂 and also re-using plastic containers for tomate sauce homemade, or sauces...😂😂😂 I think my mother still has her collection😂😂 La familia in Italia también es muy importante, y más si vas hacía el sur. La chancla de mi madre... Ah su chancla la recuerdo muy bien😂😂😂 Y todos estos contenedores reusados para guardar salsa hecha en casa😂😂 también esos de vidrio por la mermelada! Ahi mi madre😂😂😂😂 ¡Chao, hasta la proxima!😘😘
😂😂😂😂 ¡Eso sí que es sorprendente! ¡Nunca había escuchado que Italia también tuviera la tradición de la chancla... ni la de la reutilización de los contenedores! ¡Qué divertido! ¡Deben ser nuestras raíces latinas definitivamente!
As a Filipina, the time was so relatable. Example, if an event that was planned to start at 6PM, it can probably be moved for a few minutes or hour (6:30 or 7PM). We usually crack a joke about it as "Filipino time". It has been normal here in the Philippines. Funny yet sometimes some people can be angry because of delays (depending on the situation too.) Thank you for sharing this video. I had so much fun watching this too. Hugs and Kisses from Philippines! 😄❤
Puerto Ricans that I have had dealings with, want with all their hearts to be distinguished as "different" from Mexicanos. They lord the fact that, "We're Citizens, and not like you Mexicans". That is such a prestige in their psyche that it tends to become critical towards other Hispanic cultures. I don't blame them, but I also don't associate with them unless I have to. Anglo Americans look at Hispanic people as one homogenous mass, & assume that they all eat rice n' beans, tacos, and tortillas. Nope. I must say that the Puerto Ricans I have met have such an intense burning, raging, desire to be different, and be seen as different than Mexicanos. The PR's I have met from the island are friendly and open, and want to participate in activities together. Once they have lived in places like huge cities though, they turn more introverted and cautious. I can't blame them. We go through that ourselves. In my opinion they see Mexicanos as competition in some game that has a finish line full of American prestige and power. Where as we see the same obstacles and just work to remove them so we can face the next hurdle. Its a shame IMO that we can't get along better, but that's logical. They are the predominant Hispanic culture in the northeastern US, along with Colombians, Cubans, and Dominicans in the State of Florida. Mexicanos are prevalent in the Southwestern US and Chicago also. Hopefully one day we will see each other not as competition, but as regular equals in life.
Mi novia es Mexicana. I was crying laughing over the diluted dish soap in the re-purposed plastic food container and the oven as a storage facility! 😂😂😂 Nailed it!
SPANISH IS NOT AMERICAN! WERE NOT INDIANS NOR ARE WE FROM INDIA!I want to know what was spoken before the Europeans came! I got my DNA checked, shows traits, characteristics to that of Incan people! I was mind blown because I am 100% Native American of the Yup'iaq culture up North in Alaska. People of Mexico ARE NATIVE AMERICAN.
La chancla sí es una cosa muy de mexican-americana, literalmente nunca he conocido a ningun mexicano que en serio tenga ese trauma (en broma) con la chancla...
I'm American married to a Mexican and the #3 TIME is our biggest challenge. I can get past the semi lateness of starting but the ENDING time of a party con la familia NUNCA VIENE that is always our biggest arguments!! 🤣🤬🤣
@@springspanish Bigger birthday celebrations (not just for kids) with pastel and fuego artificial and piñatas; Day of the Dead celebrations, altars, grave visits and more, carne asada food celebrations in the home, Virgin de Guadalupe devotions - everywhere; dancing everywhere, in the yard, living room - not just clubs ; politeness and gentleman actions - men walk on traffic side of sidewalks when with women and much more; love of boxing and Lucha Libre; here is a big one = Quinceneras.

🤩 Nice! You seem to know quite a lot about Mexican culture! We actually have a couple of videos covering some of those topics. For example, have you checked out our video about the Day of the Dead? If you haven't, follow this link ua-cam.com/video/QlATCSqLikg/v-deo.html
Dia de los muertos = Halloween USA has a bigger love for boxing! 450 boxing World Champions the most in history are American Mexico only 150... Americans have barbecue literally almost every weekend so yeah, no, you're wrong or perhaps just ignorant...
My grandma on my dad's side checks a lot of the Mexican boxes, but her family fled to the U.S from Czechoslovakia around World War II??? 3 out of 5. No futbol or tequila.
😮 That's interesting!!! Who knows where the connection lies! 🤔 Who got it from whom? And well, Czechia does not need tequila with all that delicious beer!!
The flipflop is universal in all of the Spanish Latino culture to get whacked as a kid when we all missed behaved. As an adult Dominican-American, I honestly can say I survived the Chancla ..
You should talk about proxemics in your culture as well. I’ve recently learned that I do not have a right to my own personal space when shopping at my local Michoacán 🙄
Yakko Wakko and Dot Warner were late for the music recital by Nieves Nosenest. The Warners were born (drawn in the Animaniacs universe) in Burbank, (Alta) California, so the border crossed them. Gringexicanos To The end! That may explain their tardiness. The Mexican custom is to be tolerant of tardiness in people. The gringos seem more tolerant of tardiness than the French, especially with people in the store at the time of closing.
Oye preciosa, mi humilde opinión es que hicieras los vídeos como este en español o inglés y con subtitulos pero no en spanglish. Le daría más seriedad al contenido. De esta manera suena muy naco.
Maybe it's just me. I'm from the southern part of the U.S.A. But I always thought Mexican's were more warm and personable. But the Mexican people I've dealt with recently, remind me of the people from the northern part of the U.S.A. Cold and in-personable.
En Sudáfrica la gente también tienen alcohol en las fiestas de niñas, mi mamá y yo usamos el horneo para las ollas y usamos algunos “containers” para guardar otras cosas.
We have also the tradition of reusing plastic containers for everything here in America as well. But maybe that tradition is not being followed by the younger generation. The oven is also the place my mother stores her largest pots and pans as well.
If you ask a Mexican man and an American man "who do you love more, your mother or your wife?" the Mexican will always say "my mother", the American will say "my wife"
that probably represents a difference between the catholic social ethic vs the protestant social ethic. As a protestant we are taught that a man leaves his family, takes a wife and becomes 'one flesh' with this wife. Therefore, to a protestant the wife should be the most important woman in a man's life. Unfortunately, divorce rates being over 50% and divorces initiated by said wives being over 80%, we should now RECONSIDER this social ethic!
Being of predominantly Hispanic heritage (Portuguese/Spanish/Brazilian) I totally relate to #1 because family should be first. Pretty sure that’s a big part of why I love Latin American culture so much. And hahahahahahaha I must be part Mexican because I do #5, both with containers and the oven.
6:35 I grew up "lower class", or poor, and my family will save those type of food containers also, even the small disposable cups applesauce comes in (it makes a great dipping sauce holder). To clarify I am Estadudense, so its interesting to see this happens sometimes in MX too. Here it is only normal if you are poor, every middle class friends I had as a kid would always comment on the oddness of that when they would come to my house. We even save the plastic grocery bags from the supermarket, to use as small trash bags. For my family, we did this because my grandma lived with us and she was an extremely poor child during The Great Depression (1930s), so for her being wasteful especially bothered her, as when she grew up they were not even wealthy enough to throw out food that has just started to mold, they would just prepare it another way, because they had literally no other options for food to eat. I picked up a lot of her habits growing up lol (EDIT) idk why I said "I grew up lower class" as if I am no longer that. I still very much am
I think you did a great job. I am African American and some of the things like using containers and mom's using flip flops are very similar especially with the family. Thank you
All the things that you said are all the same here in the Philippines 😊 Aside the sports part. Here in the Philippines, very common are Basketball and Boxing.
I am 50 years old. when I was younger in the late 70's up to the mid 80's it was very very common to see food containers reused to store leftover food. My grandparents generation mainly. As Americans moved further away from the depression era and money became easier to acquire and food storage containers from china became widely available & really cheap we seen a decline in that cultural behavior.
Armenians en los estados unidos are the same way with time, old yoghurt containers and in some ways children's birthdays, lots of adults and alcohol but no singing in my experience. I wish though jaja. For parties and time, let's say we tell people to come to our house at 6, my dad always gets ready and showers at 6:15 because no one is there anways
Hay pocas differencias entre los dos, Mexicanos y nosotros al Norte. Solo con el horno hay gran diferencias entre nosotros gringos: hay gente que cocinan "from scratch" y los que tienan solo un "toaster oven" on the counter to heat frozen food from packages, hasta tamales del Super no mas. Bueno, que soy "foodie" y yo tengo un receta pa' tamales that I learned from my friend Jesus de la Garza, as he and his esposa gringa learned from his mum, who learned from her mum, who crossed the Rio Bravo del Norte durante the Revolucion, and raised her children by selling tamales on the street in San Antonio... But yes, as far as food goes nosotros del Norte are VERY diverse. Even in small cities, when you go out to eat the question is what kind of food? Ethiopian? Mexican? Indian? Fish and Chips? Fried Chicken? Chinese? and on and on. Pero, si claro, hay tacos pa'todas partes, tal ves es el mas comun. Asi me conviene.
Could you do a video on the family? Dynamics in Mexico versus America and how relationships differ in Mexico versus America. Or are they any different?
All you need to know is that a *Mexican* boyfriend/husband (or girlfriend, vice versa) is not allowed to have female friends. Americans: _"My boyfriend is getting picked up by his friend Stephanie to go have lunch at blah-blah-blah. I don't like that food, so I'm going home to do my nails😊"_ Or me: *"Sweetie, I don't like this song, but I know you do. I'm stepping out to have a cigarette. Dance with your friend Michael over there; poor guy looks lonely and bored."*
Yes a huge difference! As a Mexican i seen a lot of differences , Mexican men are taught to date to find a potential wife and marriage is sacred and very much valued because of religion ( Religion plays a big part in our culture) , In a relationship the men usually is the breadwinner and provider to the whole family ,while the woman are usually the homemakers, even if you decide to work the men will still usually pay every single thing around the house and u keep your money. Versus in America Men are not usually looking to marry and most of the time are looking for 50/50 relationships or casual hook up, that could be because hook up culture is growing in America at the moment, Which can also indicate why Marriage rates are going down rapidly. Divorce is also not common in Mexico because of Religion while in America is quite common, Mexicans tend to work things out literally into death do them apart (most of the time) Though Mexican men tend to be a little more machistas then American men, American men wouldn't mind cleaning the house or cooking you breakfast lol, New Generations are leaving behind that macho tradition but theres still work to be done
"This is America don't catch you slippin' now..." You got me thinking about that Childish Gambino song :D You are right. In Spanish when we say America we mean the continent but in English there's no other way to call people from the US ..other than "American". (actually I talk about this topic in an upcoming video) Thanks for your comment :D
She's talking culture, not geography. There's a difference in culture between the Midwest and the southern US states, let alone between US and Mexican cultures.
I guess the thing about Mexican culture that I was never able to get used to was the very open way people criticize others' physical shortcomings...trompuda, nalgona, cabezon, pelon, cojo, guero desabrido, Indio, negrito, etc, etc. We gringos are very sensitive about these things. Also had trouble with the constant homophobic and racist jokes..i.e. "Trabajando como negro para vivir como blanco." Once again, taboo stuff for gringos.
México es cultura americana. Los anglos no tienen cultura americana, mucho menos los Negros , chinos. Todos los hispanos o latinos somos la cultura americana.
*Simple: one is run by cartels and the people in general do nothing about it and the other one isn’t and actively fights against the cartel’s/criminal’s nonsense.*

Because Philippines used to be a colony of Spain until 1898 when the imperialist rats decide to stole it from Spain and erase the Spanish language
Hey wait a minute. Puerto Rico is part of the United States as well...
🙃 Do the differences mentioned still apply or would you say that Puerto Rico and Mexico have more things in common?

"This is America don't catch you slippin' now..." You got me thinking about that Childish Gambino song :D You are right. In Spanish when we say America we mean the continent but in English there's no other way to call people from the US ..other than "American". (actually I talk about this topic in an upcoming video) Thanks for your comment :D
She's talking culture, not geography. There's a difference in culture between the Midwest and the southern US states, let alone between US and Mexican cultures.
There’s always 1...
Thank God we live in America ☺️
Do you mean THE Americas or The United States of America? And why?
*I don’t care if it’s theatrical - at the end of the day, it’s nasty/ugly/bad theatre. Fix the damn theatre and make it good.*
Hey dont compare, most Americans have morals and repect, Mexicans from the ones I know do not,
I guess the thing about Mexican culture that I was never able to get used to was the very open way people criticize others' physical shortcomings...trompuda, nalgona, cabezon, pelon, cojo, guero desabrido, Indio, negrito, etc, etc. We gringos are very sensitive about these things.
Also had trouble with the constant homophobic and racist jokes..i.e. "Trabajando como negro para vivir como blanco." Once again, taboo stuff for gringos.
Oh well, It could be worse. Hope you understand that everybody has a bad day sometimes.
México es cultura americana. Los anglos no tienen cultura americana, mucho menos los Negros , chinos. Todos los hispanos o latinos somos la cultura americana.
LMAO! Sigue sonando, amigo!
