People Are Laughing At The Way Americans Got Trolled By Mexican Airline
While debates rage on over the border wall, AeroMexico wants Americans to know that your DNA doesn’t care what your politics are. In a hilarious new ad, the airline features interviews with residents of Wharton, Texas, offering them ‘DNA Discounts’ based on their percentage of Mexican heritage.
The well-meaning troll on the arguably bigoted citizens is not meant to embarrass but educate. Featuring statistics, history of immigration between Mexico and the U.S, and of course the promise of flight deals, the video is a lighthearted attempt to show that when you look at it we all have common ground.

The video begins by pointing out that while our friends south of the border come to America for travel, Mexico falls low on their tourism destination list.

When asked what the reasons why the residents had no interest in visiting the neighbors, only 300 miles south, the answers showed a common theme.

Touching on the history of immigration between the U.S and Mexico they proved that these Texans were not only close in proximity but in their DNA as well.

If people would start realizing that they share almost 100% of their genome with _any_ other human on earth, we surely would life on a much, much better planet.
I lived in Shenzhen for 7 years, you could see Hong Kong across the water. People in Hong Kong didn't know where it was (thought I flew over instead of taking a 30 minute bus lol) and thought people were constantly murdered and attacked. I think this is a common border ignorance problem.
If American airline trolled Mexicans they would be called racists. #hypocrites
If they want more Americans improve the safety. The last time I was in Mexico a head got thrown in the nightclub
so for you : culture, food, language, history (what people usually go visiting a country for) is supposed to be in your DNA? isn't it racist?
No just a white pinky thing. It’s call ignorance and having no culture.

1. Americans love Mexican resorts. Been traveling there for decades. 2. This is fake. These people are actors, and not very good ones, but they've duped many of you, especially those who hate conservatives and think they are the ones being portrayed here. And they're trying to give these groups of Americans more reasons to be hated by SJWs and snowflakes. 3. Mexico is no longer as safe as it once was. Thanks to rampant crime fueled by drug cartels and insufficient police forces, the US Department of State has issued an unprecedented number of travel warnings. My CONSERVATIVE friend and her husband were planning a trip there recently. Shocking, I know, now that so many of you have become convinced conservatives wouldn't travel there out of some hidden racist agenda. But they changed their minds after reading the DoS warning to get your affairs in order, to include a will and proof of life information. Stop. Believing. Everything you read on the internet.
What is not fake is the bigotry in this country. It's a shame. I visited Cancun and experienced no crime. Let's be honest there is plenty of violence in the U.S. Who would expect to be shot and killed in our schools, churches, temples,malls, jobs or driving. We quickly judge and condemn certain people and countries, but let's admit our problems, including racism. Let's also admit that the current President has egged on some troubled people to act out violently.

They went to a small hillbilly town and pulled this on the folks there that aren't too bright and fell for it. Was it their mission to make white people look ignorant af? If so, they nailed it. I've been to Mexico twice, one time on AeroMexico and it was the most nerve wracking flight I've ever been on. I really thought we were going down and the plane erupted in applause when we landed, I'll never fly with them again. Aside from that, I wouldn't go back to Mexico now anyway. Not because of a racial thing, but because of the danger. They've gotten very murder happy in the last couple decades. When I was on the beach in Cancun in '91, there were police patrols armed with machine guns just walking around, it was very uncomfortable. And it's gotten much worse since as far as the violence. I simply wouldn't feel safe there now. I will say that when I went to Cozumel, there was a much better vibe there and I felt much safer, but that was a long time ago, too.
Scott......americans come in all difference races religeons and natural creeds. Sit your a*s down. Racism has been belched by blacks whites asians indians germans etc etc etc. So please shut up
I've heard parts of Mexico are dangerous especially if you leave the resorts. With all the cartels you hear about being ruthless and how so many of them assume tourists must be rich, I wouldn't go there either.
If only they did this test in California......discounts for everyone!!!
There isnt a Mexican DNA - there is Mediterranian DNA from the Spanish and Native South American DNA from the indigenous people.
Sooo... Mexicans usually have both DNA markers, making them unique.

Funny video. but now I'm really curious what is the USA's number one destination?
That would be Mexico, 26 million visits by americans per year, more than any other country

I love Mexico we went down to Cancun and no we didn't stay in the hotel zone we went to Isla Mujeres a beautiful little island nearby and we stayed out of the hotel zone as much as we could to see the true Mexican area. WE loved it.
I think those people in Texas are forgetting that the land they're on was part of Mexico for longer than it's been part of the US
Definitely not a typical American town. Anyway, even with a DNA test in hand, a great discount, and a decent command of the language, someone who looks like me would still experience a range between a targeted mark or be ignored entirely. I vacation where I want and after 3 trips to varied Mexican locales that were just not so great trips, time to see and spend my money in other places. Sorry Mexico, if you want a piece of the economic pie, work on the crime and infrastructure. There are hundreds of places in the Caribbean that outpace you by light years. As it is I have moved on and am now currently in Europe.
I remember the day when we could drive across the border for a day of shopping or to buy medication that was so much cheaper across the border. However, you didn't take your life in your hands then either! It just isn't safe in Mexico anymore! Even in the resort cities you could be murdered by gangs and someone may find your head outside the resort you're staying in!!
Hey, AeroMexico: ask a Mexican-American...we don't vacation there, either. -Dr M
Another way of looking at it is as a citizen of Earth. Then it’s just another way of imagining differences.
Mexico is a great destination! A lot of people go to resorts only, but there's so much more to see. I went to Mexico City last year and I could not get enough of it. The best Anthropology Museum ever with an amazing collection of pre-Columbian art. Other museums - dozens of them. The architecture is a wonder and don't even start me on the food! The Teotihuacan pyramids are a must see - & only an hour on a bus from Mexico city. As for safety - I'm a woman and I travel alone and everything was fine.
Well as far as I know people here in my country doesn't have a problem if we go to Mexico since both countries share similar culture and Spanish influences and here in the Philippines people loved Mexicanovels before those Asianovels aired to our local channels.
PSA: THE R/THE_DONALD crybabies are brigading again. Defending their redneck brethren. Lol. Mexico triggers them.
Typical American town??? This looks like a small country super conservative town. Everyone I know would say hell yes let's go to Mexico. The way stats can be skewed to favor what they want is a joke. No doubt there's racism against Mexicans and everyone else but don't call this a typical American town!
The entire middle part of America is filled with these towns tho.

Well I think one or two of the Texan woman might have had their DNA tested with cows!!! Keep them in Texas, Mexican DNA or not! They are not wanted in Mexico.
...so the liberal millennials at bored panda believe Americans don't like Mexico... as over 20 million illegals live within U.S. borders. Go troll that c**p in Mexico and see what kind of results you get. Stop acting like naïve, hypocritical political hacks and at least act like you care about your country
I will 100% go to Mexico before I go to the USA. But as a Canadian Mexicans love me and as a Canadian, I love them. Went to Mexico twice last year, haven't been to the USA since before a passport was needed to cross the boarder.
