I'm not offended but ashamed that you picked some of the "ugly" facts in Mexico. You could have said that the tallest natural lighthouse is in Mexico in a city called Mazatlan, or that the metro is cleaner than the american counterparts. Even that statistically (happy planet index) Mexico is top 3 of the world's happiest countries. But eh it's something, viva México chingado

No. 65, I had never seen my city featured in any video! It feels so fricking cool, despite it being just a random traffic and roads law 😂 expanding a bit further, Torreón, Coahuila, México, is one of the youngest cities in Mexico, since in 2007 it celebrated its one hundred years. It is popularly known as "The city of great efforts" due to the fact that despite all the adverse environmental conditions, it managed to flourish as a city, due to its prosperous industry and commerce and its short age. Although it is one of the youngest cities in Mexico, it is considered one of the most important historical sites in the country since events of great impact for national history took place there. It was taken 4 times by the revolutionary forces, 3 of them by General Francisco Villa; Likewise, and during the first revolutionary take, the unfortunate historical event known as "The massacre of the Chinese" took place, ordered by Benjamin Argumedo, it was in this city where the Torreón Pact was signed, which preceded the Aguascalientes Convention and also where Venustiano Carranza received the telegram in which the US government recognized his government. On the occasion of the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, in 2010 the city was awarded the title of "Heroic city and site of national interest".
It is part of the metropolitan area of ​​La Laguna, made up of the municipalities of Torreón, Gómez Palacio, Ciudad Lerdo, Matamoros and Francisco I. Madero, with a population of 1, 434, 283 inhabitants, which makes it the tenth largest urban area in Mexico.
The city's economy is based on the agricultural industry, the textile, metallurgical (We are the World's Capital of Silver!), chemical, commerce and services industries.

damn I didn't expect that gamegrumps reference at 0:18, "A los seis años, nací sin rostro" is "At age six I was born without a face" that's awesome guys, great job
Also a little mistake at 1:55, Monterrey is part of Nuevo Leon, Monterrey is the city, Nuevo Leon is the state I believe

[tlacuachemistico]

Some friendly errata (genuine misunderstandings, nothing to do with pronunciation):
"Mestizo" is not an insult.
There are no official languages, not even Spanish. Native languages received some sort of protected status, but that's it.
Mexico is named after Mexico City. If anything, it's the country's name that's unoriginal.
