What The World GETS WRONG About Mexico |

[@doubletroubleencorea]

Food. People also tend to believe all we eat/have are tacos, when in reality, Mexican cuisine is one of the richest and most varied (not to mention delicious) in the entire world! :D

[@TrueMexico]

Good point. I am in daily heaven with all the food options in Mexico!

[@jtapisue9489]

True Mexico hahaha makes me want to go back!

[@faridperez]

Wrong Scorpio! Have you eaten Mole Poblano? Have you tried "Gallina Pinta" stew? and hundreds of other dishes that ARE NOT tacos? I seriously don't think so...

[@faridperez]

Mmmm Noup...! I know chilli (con carne, sin carne, vegetarian and everything), but that IS NOT mexican food, that is Tex-Mex food. Mole poblano is another story, and is made turkey (sometimes with chicken or even pork), but the distinctiveness its the sauce called "Mole" which is made of peanuts, bread, a blend of several types of chili peppers, chocolate, almonds, and a lt more, making an unique thick sauce...

Wrong again. Mole is one of the staples of Mexican food with literally dozens of different variations all around the country and an almost ubiquitous presence in hundreds of dishes. I come from a low-income family and I honestly don't know a SINGLE Mexican who hasn't eaten at least several different kinds of mole, myself included.

[@03Terrestre]

There are 196 countries in the world, Mexico is the 11th largest economy, and about to surpass the French economy.

[@AV0003]

Yeah, but it's really sad how all of that money goes to the corrupt politicians.

[@03Terrestre]

Andrea V., Every individual has to make an effort to even out that economic balance, a big part of that effort is in education.

[@wetguavass]

politicians are corrupt in every nation.

[@oscarr5051]

03Terrestre It is no use telling people about how Mexico is the 11th largest economy in the world, too many people will say something dumb like "Mexico is only like that because of American factories", yet are so unknowledgable about the country they do not know it is a capitalist country with hundreds of domestic companies and coorporations. also since the U.S in the past year has been getting allot of the poorest from parts of Mexico and Central America, they think Mexico is that way too.

I'm so glad that you are doing this videos! They are very informative!

[@DavidisDawei]

I tell people (in the USA) all the time how wonderful Mexico is and many of them roll their eyes and tell me they'd never go there. Very few destinations are perfect...their loss

That roll of the eyes is so frustrating isn't it. But then you just think... it's their loss.

[@luisdaa]

Another misconception is that "Mexican" is a race when in fact Mexicans belong to many different ethnic backgrounds (mostly Mestizos but also Whites and Indigenous)

[@alfonsotorres4580]

Luis Alvarez It's a nationality not a race.

[@LordDefekator]

Blacks, arabs and asians too

[@godmusikk2078]

Luis Alvarez most white Mexicans are in northern Mexico tho.

[@wetguavass]

In the USA, many mestizos are classified as Native American. In the USA, In most instances, people need to have at least 25% Native American DNA to be considered Native American. While in Mexico, according to the UNAM, mestizos have an Average of 70% Native American DNA. Why in Mexico do the mestizos don't do that? It is a benefit to them to say they are Native American.

[@qualqui]

Probably the stigma of being native american equals being a savage, a barbarian, this was further entrenched when around 1770 the Spanish mandated that everybody learn and speak spanish instead of the native languages, for fear of uprisings, well 51 years later there were uprisings so that was useless, the only good point here was that spanish served to unify the whole country.

[@mexicanopolis9390]

I'll quote a former president of México who said: "Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States". This has never been more true than it is today.

[@tonykratos]

Mexicanopolis eeeerrrr,that was said by Hugo Chávez,lol

[@mexicanopolis9390]

Tonito Chávez??? Porfirio Díaz said it 100 years before him.

[@tonykratos]

Mexicanopolis I didn't knew that,My bad!

[@mexicanopolis9390]

Who's wrong?

[@dekayjones]

I am very curious about Mexico City. I love traveling to large urban areas around the world. I have heard many negative about Mexico City. But also, I have heard positive things about the city and your video put me at ease. I am about to buy my plane ticket now.

[@TrueMexico]

Awesome! I love hearing this.

[@UnderdogFL]

My truck is a 2014 Ram 1500 pickup. It was Truck of the Year in 2014. It was manufactured in Mexico. In fact, Mexico manufactures quality trucks that most Americans think are domestically made.

[@gueroo379]

UnderdogFL especially Chevy 😂

[@e-curb]

If you have a truck, look at the VIN. If the first digit is a 3, your truck was made in Mexico!

[@Mr.Chezzz]

When I see Mexico in movies it always looks yellow or orange. Why?

[@Arbolagrill]

There is an image of how make a scene look like is set on mexico and is only put a yellow filter. XD

[@TrueMexico]

That stuff is exactly what I am talking about.

[@Ultraderchista]

Check the politic campaign adds in TV. Cadidate A VS. Candidate B. Allways you gonna see a "Nice"candidate in full colours and the bad one in blur scratched black and white video. Hollywood knows about propaganda. Nazis vs, jews. etc.

[@VeronicaHL]

I'm Mexican-American, and I'm so tired of all the negative stereotyping of Mexico and Mexicans by people who have never even been there. I'm really loving your videos and will share with my family & friends!

[@GlobalAdventurer]

I contribute the misinformation about Mexico almost the same as the misinformation about the United States. Regular televised sitcoms, syndicated radio and commercials portray living in the USA as almost some type of paradise to people who dream about coming here. It's definitely nothing close to paradise (whatever that might be). This country suffers the same misfortunes as most countries, hunger, homelessness, struggling and the crime rate isn't nearly as low as a long list of European countries for example. So, what we hear and see on television or the internet day in and day out from childhood to adulthood somewhat clouds our perception. I make my own judgements of people and places once I've had many weeks to live in an area, which is really the only way you will ever know, no matter where you are. This video was on the mark. Much appreciated!

[@TrueMexico]

Your comment was on the mark!! Well said.

[@elefanteluzvioleta]

Thanks Paul for loving Mexico as we love you. You are part of us Mexicans and you are welcome as a brother in Mexico.

[@TrueMexico]

I appreciate that!

[@_hector__]

Have you done a video about how cheap living in Mexico is compared to the US or Europe because I think it's a very interesting topic. Albeit, you're in CDMX which is a big city so it's more expensive.

[@rungas]

Satanás decent job?? you are wrong. maybe at Starbucks?

[@oscarbernal5633]

Calabi-Yau Manifold make sure also you include how hard is to make a living in that country. otherwise why so many mexicans immigrate to USA ?

[@karealin293]

Calabi-Yau Manifold You are correct. Mexico is way cheaper. I am an engineer, and when I moved to US, I actually lost quite a bit of purchasing power. Someone asked that why poor latinos immigrate so much to US then? Well, that person would have to ask THEM.. I think they still believe that the American dream is true (that they will somehow turn rich in US) and everything will go fine and dandy.

[@qwertytypewriter2013]

It's harder to make a living in the US (I've lived in both nations and here in Mexico I do make waaaay less dollars but since everything is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper I can EASILY make a living like the vast majority) 5% of Mexicans have said they would consider moving to the US... 95% would rather stay. Get your facts straight.

Victor Marquez wrong, why? As simple as the fact that the peso worths less than the dollar and the national economy is more expensive compared to the usa per capita national income means you are totally wrong, how? USA=1hour work=9.5usd = 192pesos/h(heb cleaning services)=1300usd/w,avrg Mexico=1week work= 60usd=800-1300pesos(just graduated medical assistent) Where and how does it changes? Some WV in usa=18000usd(340mil,same as mexico,even tho some WV are made in mexico[cheaper labor and pay]) Gasoline in mexico 20pesos/L(runned by only one "mexican" gas firm *Pemex*) Gasoline in USA(multiple price range from cheap to cheaper)avrg= 2.8usd/L 1300usd=20milpesos,-50p/L 1300pesos-20p/L Has bien las operaciones y con solo eso ,un ejemplo tan vago, simple pero efectivo, te demuestta medisnte numeros que es mas barato vivir en estados unidos por la cantidad de income que se obtiene, a comparacion de mexico que ganas poco y gastas mucho mas. Mexico es un pais perdido en la corrupciom y la gente gandalla oportunista, en EUA es igual pero se generan mas economias por ende cualquiera puede tener una buena vida aun siendo estafados por el gobierno corrupto

[@ildefonsocoutino1894]

I'm Mexican American and live in the U.S. I like that you speak about the pros and cons of Mexico but in a very clear and positive way. I haven't been able to travel to Mexico the way I' ve wanted because I have been busy with personal matters but I would like to travel to my birthplace, Chiapas, Mexico. I' ve heard some amazing things about that state. If you have the opportunity to make a video of places to travel to Mexico, this state should be included. You will be able to see ruins, jungles, waterfalls, rivers, and an abundance of wild life. It is also home to many Indian tribes that are very loyal to their traditions. Wish you the best and be safe.👏👋😁

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks! If the channel keeps growing and gets support I want to film all over Mexico.

[@bounzer777]

Damn! You hit the nail right on the head. Since Mexico sits right next to the world's largest economy it makes Mexico look little. Yet there are many more countries that would look much smaller if they sat right next to the world's largest economy. Damn! That's an original!

[@carlosb1]

I live in USA , I'm American citizen but my ethnicity is Mexican and I will always consider myself Mexican no matter what, brown Mexican and proud of it, holding respect for adoptive country and abiding it's laws. I have also been to other countries like Germany, Poland, and Ukraine (my ex fiancee was from Ukraine, i fell in love with Ukraine, amazing people, reminded me of Mexico :)). I always grab the positive things from every country, I have a very open mind about their pros and cons. No country is perfect in this world. I admire that my mother land Mexico does not go to other countries and exploit the riches of the people and end up blowing women and children like the USA has done for so many decades. However, I do not admire the fact that Mexican people keep being subjugated under a government that keeps the people submissive from an economic point of view. God bless our Mother Earth . Thanks for this channel Paul.

[@RaulMartinez-fi1sj]

carlosb1 Well, then, you'll be glad to know that all mexicans are just as american as any yankee gringo, because America is a continent and a hemisphere, comprised of all of 35 countries...the US of A being only one of them...¡¡AMERICA PARA LOS AMERICANOS!!

[@johndoe-wv3nu]

Dustin Heath -end up in Newport/Portsmouth RI area by chance? 🤔

[@adrianavelazquez3347]

@Dustin Heath you are claiming you have been here before us. The Spaniards came to what is now The United Mexican States in 1518 and colonized most of what the USA is now, and that is the one side, if we talk of my indigenous side well we all know that is a bit longer. On the other hand, the English set foot on the 13 colonies until after the 1600's , thus we precede you Anglos for nearly 100 years. As far as "America" being a continent well I know that in the English speaking world when somebody says America people refer tu the USA. Although, I've come across instances where even in the English speaking world when people say "America" they refer to the continent, even though people do not realize it. For example: Who discovered America? Answer: Christofer Columbus As we all know this guy never set foot in What is now the USA, hence referring to "America" the continent or novus mundo( the new world)

It's crazy how bad the Media can make this country look, I think most of the time they show video/pictures of Tijuana, which is pretty much I guess the worst place in Mexico, then I watch youtube video's of people in Mexico and get to see how it really is. Crazy how much we have been lied to. Also many youtuber's have said that the people of Mexico are actually very accepting of Americans down there. Never really thought to look it up until I was at a bar and one of my old Mexican work friends showed up, we were like 8 beers in and he was just like "Man I wish was back in Mexico" I asked him why, he just said, well just a better environment, nicer people, more relaxed way of life" I think that's what really opened my eyes.

[@TacticalSeagull]

If you get on the bus in mexico and make it to your destination without getting mugged or worse, it was a good day. Lowlifes steal from the elderly while they cash in their pension checks all the time. Mexico might not have mass shootings, but dozens of people get shot or stabbed during robberies everyday.

[@SmileBaby143]

Again that depends on what areas you're in I have family in Mexico City, by the coast in the state of Jalisco and a grandma in the middle of nowhere on a ranch where the internet comes and goes and is a 2-hour drive from the nearest city. I had to get on a bus from the city of juarez and go 12 hours to visit my grandma, and about 10 hours to each other destination, basically lived by the buses and I was fine. Mexicans and people with Mexican family know which areas are more dangerous and they know which areas wouldnt be smart to be in late at night, like i said, if your smart and are take the locals advice where not to be late at night, then your fine. I could say the same things for cities in the states too!

[@DesertDwight]

Thank you for making this video. It's frustrating when people just have these negative connotations about Mexico and don't bother getting informed. I've been meaning to ask you, have you noticed racism in Mexico? I've read that the majority of middle/upper class Mexicans are white, who often look down on lower class indigenous people. Of course that may have to do more with social class rather than race.

[@RoloRolooo]

I would say that yes, there is a very prevalent kind of racism, but not the same kind of rabid racism you would find in Europe or the US. It's very subtle and under the radar in everyday life. And you are correct, most powerful politicians and rich people are white, blond, blue eyed, and many have french, german, lebanese, and of course, spanish last names. I remember when I first realized it existed I was about 14 and my aunt was talking about some relative who just had a baby and she commented "the poor baby had really dark skin." It was half joking and condescending but people do notice the difference in skin color and facial features. However, it's very rare to see someone treated aggresively, with contempt or being discriminated against. Basically everyone, even my aunt, are respectful and warm to everyone. Mexico's history makes race relations a special case because for about 300 years, the indigenous natives were conquered, dominated and subjugated by the spanish. This created a clear hierarchy of power and status that was ingrained in the culture and persists till today. But what was different from most other conquests around the world is that the spanish eventually mixed with the native population, wich gave birth to what we call the "mexican race". So we have the whole spectrum from very dark to very light peoples, which makes it impossible to deliniate different "races", except of course at both edges of the spectrum. So in conclusion, I would say there is something like it. The huge inequality that the video talks about is very real, but from my experience it trascends race.

[@DesertDwight]

Rolando Rios I've spent most of my life in the US so haven't had much experience in Mexico. I always had the feeling there was racism there, however subtle it may be. Just wasn't sure until I got older. I'm from Chihuahua, quite a few white people there, and I do remember indigenous people were usually the poor ones. There were children out on the streets selling candy. It was really sad. And I also remember some of my parents friends/relatives that lived in really nice, wealthy neighborhoods. I don't remember racism coming from them. Now once I discovered KZbin, I realized Mexico had some racism. There were some very mean comments towards people with darker skin. I wasn't sure if they were just trolling or genuinely felt that way. Even then it's not as obvious as in the US. When people find out I'm Mexican they're like "Really? I thought you were white", as if Mexican and white were mutually exclusive. Some even have the nerve to tell me "well at least you look white, not like the brown kind".

[@robjorrosmar]

saludos!! I think there is no racism in Mexico. Many people misunderstand it. In Mexico what exists is classism. In Mexico everyone (white, black, mestizos) is proud of its culture, Aztec, Mayan, indigenous traditions, its crafts, its magic villages, its gastronomy. Almost everything comes from pre-Hispanic times. In Mexico people who have money, can be of any race, are believed more than those who do not have. that's the problem.

galleta de jengibre xD No todos los americanos son así. La mayoría te recibe con brazos abiertos. Yo vivo en Utah y aquí los mormones son muy buena gente, no te juzgan por tu nacionalidad o color. Cuando vivía en Arizona ahí si había mucho racismo, pero la mayoría son buena gente.

[@robjorrosmar]

Es dificil creer eso de Utah. Cuando votan en su mayoria por un presidente racista, misogino y xenofobico. www.nytimes.com/elections/results/utah lo que a mi me hace pensar es que en el fondo los Estadounidensen, en su mayoria, son racistas. Aunque muchos no admitan que votaron por Trump, no se podria explicar entonces como gano Trump. Yo soy Mexicano y acepto que tambien nosotros elegimos a un pesimo presidente EPN.

[@PonchoANS7]

Great video as always. Have a great year.

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks. And the same to you amigo.

[@DJPACODALLAS]

Hey man, thank you for make this video the north american people needs to watch it and understand right a lot things about Mexico and south America continent.

[@TrueMexico]

My pleasure amigo.

[@samanthacruz2750]

Two videos were enough for me to suscribe to your channel. It is one of the best channels in youtube. Very informative, not only for foreign people but mexicans. Yo really prepare your videos, congratulations :).

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks a lot! I'm happy you are enjoying my videos. Saludos desde CDMX.

[@hbkhardy2009]

Awesome video

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks.

[@geraldarnoult]

My wife works in a hospital, scouts would go to Mexico scouting out nurses, looking for nurses to work and live in the U.S. and had a hard time finding people, who where willing to leave Mexico and their families, even offering bonuses, cars, homes and still had a hard time, becouse Mexicans did not want to leave their families and Mexico, I'm not kidding, just the fact they offered thats shows there trying to offers of incentives to go to the U.S.

[@janrichter5428]

Awesome video, I enjoyed watching it as always. I think that no country suffers from so many bad stereotypes as Mexico although that's really not fair.

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks a lot, I totally agree with your comment.

[@lacalcetaderayas4505]

Hi Paul!!! 🎉🎉 Feliz año nuevo, que 2017 tenga para ti mucho mas éxito en todo lo que haces... Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de compartir las cosas buenas de mi país. 😘😘

[@TrueMexico]

Igualmente!!!

[@hime_ichi]

XD Honestly, i thought the last two were true (Mexico's economy sucks, and Mexico is dangerous...) thank you for the explanation though. your videos help me understand Mexico better happy new years ~

[@lucyhg2010]

ケイトリン I think Mexico has one of the largest economies worldwide. That doesn't mean that there aren't millions living in poverty and that the Mexican peso isn't worthless.

[@hime_ichi]

Oliver Hernandez i see~ well my bf lives in mexico we will move to japan maybe, and considering some other places maybe mexico as one however, it would be quite a problem to be dead poor XD thank you !

[@TrueMexico]

And a happy new year yo you too!

[@Overlord99762]

Coahuila is very nice tbh, Saltillo and Torreón is pretty good for living those are some of the safest places in the North, also the infrastructure is sufficiently developed... And the meat in Coahuila is great

[@isisbaaa5793]

Mexico isn’t that unsafe the US is more dangerous it has way more gangs way more violence

[@cindyr8844]

I'm glad someone else sees my country the way it is. thanks for sharing and getting to know our culture

[@TrueMexico]

Pleasure!

[@andiecervantes59]

Do you plan on spending your life here? Like kids, marriage, etc. just curious.

[@tomgn8412]

Paul!!! I enjoyed so much your videos and I´m so grateful you shine a light in real Mexico that I will buy you beers (plural, of course) and show you more of the city, I live here! HMU.

[@huax8875]

Hey Paul, what do you think about the "Gasolinazo" ?

[@TrueMexico]

Well in all societies there will be minorities who take advantage of this kind of situation. A few years ago the UK had mega looting from all the big shops also when some unstable stuff went on.

[@huax8875]

I gues you're right, be careful out there my friend!

[@davidn.reyespacheco2871]

Paul, Gracias por el gran servicio que le estas haciendo a México con tus videos. Eres más mexicano de corazón que muchos de los que hemos nacido aquí. ¡Salud y larga vida!

[@azteca132525]

Thank you for sharing this video with us in a very positive light. Very informative and encouraging to say the least. Loved it. Thumbs up.

[@DigitalCyborgman]

If you only go to Tijuana, YOU haven't seen Mexico....

[@ipodtouch470]

Shock Master I've been hated it.

[@deeztacos6336]

Shock Master Tijuana is just strange. It doesn't feel like Mexico, it feels like a confused city.

[@DigitalCyborgman]

Totally agree amigo...

[@emilyl2829]

Can you explain pleaseee i've never been to Mexico so i want to know why you think that and what's different about it than other parts of 🇲🇽?

[@heli_auro]

I will help you, tijuana is a strange mixture between Russian, Italian, Mexican, American, African and is very confusing. It is important for industry and tourism, but tijuana does not represent Mexico completely, it is rather a facet

[@franjaime200]

Happy New Year, True Mexico!

[@TrueMexico]

And the same to you!

[@champigranja1179]

Many gringos who applauded what Trump said about "shithole countries" should watch this video. They truly imagine we live among nopales, carry guns (if not bows and arrows) and use donkeys instead of cars. Great vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@TrueMexico]

Happy you liked it!

[@FlordePrimavera81]

Hola Paul, I wasn´t expecting a video on December 31st, great:) I´m in the middle of New Year´s cooking but I saw you uploaded new video and I had to see it and wish you a very happy new year, yeah I think most of wrong stereotypes about Mexico we have to thank Hollywood haha, thank you Paul for clearing in this video some wrong concepts about Mexico and so for giving us so many beautiful and interesting videos about TRUE MEXICO :)I send you a hug and I wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR with your loved ones, Hope 2017 brings many "True Mexico" videos, have a great new year celebration Paul, hasta luego:D

[@TrueMexico]

Ja, yeah I wanted to squeeze one last video out of the year. And a Happy New Year to you too. I hope you have a good night and cooking success!

Why dont you go to inner Mexico? Queretaro Puebla Yucatan Guadalajara Guanajuato

about the technology talent, it would've cool if you've mentioned Guillermo González Camarena the inventor of one of the first color tv, and the one that introduced the concept to the comercial public.

[@codymcgonagill8072]

yeah that's because the self-starters and the motivated people of Mexico stay in Mexico they don't go to the United States looking for a free ride

[@fernandome.828]

Lee bien compa, soy un mexicano viviendo en México, donde dije que me la doy de gringo de norteamericano? Respondi en ingles un comentario en ingles, ahora te respondo en español para que luego no digas que me la doy de gringo. Soy mexicano y si por eso para ti soy un nopal como dices pues bien por ti no me averguenza, y soy blanco de ojos verdes y no la ando jugando al mamon por eso, ser mexicano no es una raza, ahi demuestras tu racismo, piensas que todos los mexicanos lucimos igual y te equivocas, y si dije que los wetbackso o ilegales o como les llamen tienen problemas es por que asi lo es, es gente con poca educación que salio de los estratos sociales mas bajos de México, los mexicanos que estudian y le hechan ganas se quedan en México y si van a EUA es de vacaciones

[@fernandome.828]

Hay mil formas de buscar una mejor vida en su pais de origen, tampoco vivimos en Siria y tampoco México esta lleno de mierda como lo pintan, estos videos lo demuestra, el que quiere salir adelante y quiere aportar para tener un mejor pais se queda y le hecha ganas y estudia, los que no dan el ancho y les da miedo se van aunque anden de ilegales y reciban malos tratos o si llegan a ser ciudadanos sean tratados como ciudadanos de quinta

[@pedrouribe302]

Fernando M E. y tu aquí eres tratado muy bien ? sal te tu pinche mundo de fantasía en el q vives y ve la realidad en la q vive México y después comparas sabes lo q en verdad es un buen gobierno q da buena educación a su pueblo ? ya me imajino q as de ser de esos pendejos con título q creen q se graduaron en física cuántica en la universidad de Harvard .....sigue en tu guajiro dream y deja a los demás q no tienen huevos o educación como tu dices vivir en usa

[@fernandome.828]

El que anda degradando es tu vato diciendo pinche nopal a alguien por ser mexicano o queriendo hacer menos a las universidades mexicanas como si solo las universidades gringas contaran o fueran buenas apoco crees que no hay buenos medicos, ingenieros o licenciados mexicanos? Yo solo di mi opinion sobre los ilegales, y no es solo una opinion es tambien una estadística, es una realidad. El gobierno de México efectivamente es una mierda pero aun asi sobran maneras de salir adelante, no vivimos en Siria o Venezuela, hay muchas maneras y una de ellas es estudiando, decir que brincar la linea y ser ilegal es tener huevos es como decir que los sicarios y narcos tienen huevos. Para mi tener huevos es enfrentar la realidad y salir adelante, de manera legal

[@pedrouribe302]

Fernando M E. bueno a ti con tu gran educación de una gran universidad.... no te entra la letra verdad ? acepta cuando la cagas y yo jamas degrade alas universidades de México no te la quieras.huevos los tienen todos al decidir quedarse aquí y luchar o ir te y tener una mejor vida pero tu que sabes de vivir bien tienes q haber vivido en los dos lados no solo en uno y ladrar q esta mejor aquí q allá por q allá te tratan como mierda aquí de ah de tratar como reyna as de ser muy chulo ya deja te de pendejadas y acepta q la cagaste con tu comentario y sin quieres bien sigue igual de pendejo

[@Carmen-h4z]

que agradable que hables así de México después de tantas cosas negativas por las que atravesamos, gracias por fijarte en lo positivo!!

It is great to hear someone who's not mexican talking about this misconceptions and saying nice things about Mexico. Awesome! keep it up.

[@TrueMexico]

Thanks!

[@AnushkaGVO]

In 8 out of 10 jobs I've had in the U.S. - I was lucky enough to have worked with professionals that are Mexican or from Mexican descent. They've all been Accountants and have specialty in Global Finance/Taxation. I look up to them because they are respected by our clients. Their strong work ethic is inspiring to me and I can say they've helped me shape the person I am today. Thank you Carina, Hector, Prisco and everyone that who's name I can't remember right now...oh and Marco (Puerto Rican/German descent). I pay it forward by being a positive person and try to inspire the people around me too. Whether they're Mexican or from any other nationality in the world. Gracias por hablar de estos temas Paul! You're a legend!
