I don’t think its just the South where people think all hispanics are Mexican, but all over. Maybe because there is a large hispanic population in the south. Anyways… In the hispanic population in the U.S, the majority of hispanics are of Mexican ancestory. So people often assume that all hispanics here are Mexican, since they are the majority. Most of the time, the ‘majority rules’, as in thats what most people think of. I think it is a bit of ignorance, but most of the time not intentional, just lack of knowledge. Also pertaining to the comment in the south- take Texas for example. Texas is in the south, and the majority of hispanics in Texas are from Mexico, so when people see a hispanic they automatically assume Mexican.
