What should you call yourself? Expat or Immigrant! The true answer from a Mexican Perspective!

In today's video, we dive deep into a topic that stirs much debate among foreigners living in Mexico: Are we Expats, Immigrants, or Gringos? This discussion isn't just about semantics; it's about understanding, respecting, and integrating into Mexican culture while recognizing our own identities.

🇲🇽 What do Mexicans think about these labels? Surprisingly, many of the terms we debate over are not even used by the locals or carry different meanings in the Mexican context. From my experiences as a Mexican American living in Mexico, married to a Mexican, I'll share insights into how cultural self-identification can vary significantly from our own perceptions and lead to unexpected revelations.

🔍 We'll explore:
- The difference between 'Expat,' 'Immigrant,' and 'Gringo' from a Mexican perspective.
- How the term 'immigrant' is perceived in Mexico, which you may be surprised.
- Why 'Expat' or 'Immigrant' may not resonate with Mexicans and how they commonly refer to foreigners.
- Personal anecdotes and cultural norms, shedding light on the Mexican standpoint.
- The importance of personal choice in self-labeling and the impact of these labels on community dynamics.
- The potential of self-labeling to lead to division and how we can strive for unity instead.

🤝 Whether you identify as an Expat, Immigrant, Gringo, or something entirely different, this video is about fostering understanding and respect. It's about how we can live harmoniously in a culture different from our own, respecting Mexican traditions and each other's viewpoints.

🎙️ And don't miss the ending! I propose an idea for a follow-up video where we'll hear directly from Mexican nationals about their views on these terms. Your feedback and comments are crucial, so let me know if this is something you'd like to see!
