    you’re putting suppositions in OPs mouth that they did not make. perhaps they are using mexican because there are, in fact, not any other spanish speaking countries ‘across the border’ from the areas where the film took place. you know, like el salvador, guatemala, or hounduraa, or, for that matter, portuguese speakers as found in brazil and portugal.

    stop trying to put other people in their place so quickly. this was an honest question about etymology and you’re trying to correct some perceived yet actually uninvolved social injustice, all while not actually answering OP’s question.

    maybe try being helpful rather than trying to feel superior.
