Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican?

You’re in the US. Mexico is next door and speaks Spanish. A much higher proportion of Spanish speakers in the US are from Mexico than from Spain, which is across the ocean. If you were in France and identified as a Spanish speaker, much more people would think you were from Spain.

There’s a few more countries than Mexico and Spain

Also, Spain’s accent is very identifiable.

  Where did I say or imply that Mexico and Spain were the only countries?
  
  Spain has a distinct accent if you are a Spanish speaker. If you don’t speak Spanish, it’s likely you wouldn’t know the difference between different Spanish language accents.
