Comment on How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach?

I didn’t say they did. Spanish versions from Latin America are still marginalized though because the indigenous peoples heavily influenced the language and the vocabulary, etc. that’s why Spaniards get judgemental when they “correct” Latine people because they view their language as inferior and grammatically incorrect

I have never seen a Spaniard correct anyone from Latin America or thinking their language is less correct.

For your knowledge Spain itself have a lot of dialects in the Peninsula, all of which sound different. And Latin American dialects are influenced by Southern Spain dialects as most colonizers where from there. In the Canary Islands and in some parts of Andalusia they also use “ustedes” as second person.

I think you just made some scenarios in your head to be angry or something.

    The thing is that the genocide have nothing to do with the differences between Latin american and Castillian languages.
    
    The people commiting the genocide was the people who went to Latin America and “created” Latin American Spanish dialect.
    
    Current ascendants of Latin American people were not genocided by Spaniards. The ascendants of current Latin American people genocided the native people that used to live there.
