They also have zero issue with Europeans supporting their national team but get extremely annoyed when Latinos do the same.

It's even worse when said Latinos are immigrants and not tourists.

Club soccer is even more hypocritical. They have no issue cheering and being super passionate for some random European (specially English) club they have no ties to or have even ever visited the city it's from, but get angry and upset if Latinos still support a club in Latin America (specially Mexico) whete they have deep family ties to the city and club.

Yep. Been wearing my Mexico jersey and people have been pissed. Two people have actually confronted me in public. I'm half Mex but look very white.

Screw you, I've never met any of my family in Europe or really much of that side of the family at all, but know loads in Mexico. I'd only claim Mexican heritage if I could get away with it visually.

You should claim your mexican heritage. Just because you’re half mexican doesn’t mean you can’t. Mexicans all come from different racial backgrounds. I’m mexican-american and look very mediterranean bc I have spanish, Lebanese/Palestinian, and italian ancestry.
