This has been the same over the years trying to convince people that:
Mexico had ATMs (first installed in 1972)
Pemex stations were truly franchises
Mexico is not a third-world country
Mexico has the same number of people living in poverty as our neighbor to the north
Murder rates are similar between the U.S. and Mexico
Mexico has a different system of calculating the minimum wage
Mexico’s real name is the United States of Mexico
Mexicans Don’t Celebrate 5 de Mayo
Mexico is in North America
You will be kidnapped
. . . and yes I understand and recognize the meaning of "per capita" and so on to ad nauseam.
It's tough trying to break habits and myths about Mexico.
