KLM tweeted out "Adios, Amigos! #NEDMEX" after the Netherlands beat Mexico. What do you know, tons of Mexicans start calling the airline racist and say they'll never fly again.

Good thing I never want to go to Mexico - and if I ever fly to Europe, it'll be on KLM, because they seem to have a sense of rumor.

Uh-oh, American retardation is rubbing off on the neighbors.

Mexicans are some of the most racist people on the planet. I vacationed there once. Never again.

"Goodbye, friends!" is racist?

okladixie,

You mean that you vacationed in a guarded compound that was all inclusive including a guarded beach. You only left the property in order to go to the airport to leave the third world country of Mexico or to see visit the Mayan Ruins.

Yes I have done the exact same. Wow what trash dump except for what is made to look nice.

We actually drove down there. Traveling through that desert was scary. We stayed in Porta Penasco(which was a very beautiful beach with great amenities) The locals were poor and did not like "Gringos."

I don't think that many Mexicans are flying KLM on a regular basis anyway.

OklaDixie,

How many miles of uncertain Hell did you travel from the border to the resort? No weapons on you for defense? Wow, just wow!

South Carolina Dke

WTF are you talking about?

I don’t remember Mexicans being upset about Arnold Schwarzenegger's catchphrase
in Terminator 2 or being insulted anytime Bart Simpson became surprised.

You said that you drove down to the resort in Mexico, correct? My question was how many miles did you travel via automobile in the country of Mexico? That is all. That is brave to do without have a weapon for protection. Now do you understand? Just wondering.

about 90 miles from the border to Rocky Point

Okla, they treat everyone like they did you. You're not special. I've been to Rocky Point and I'm not really impressed really. I'll never go again. But judging from your posts you probably went there with the same attitude as the "ugly American" is portrayed as.

In Mexico you're generally treated the same as everyone so don't feel special.

Duke, I can see that you're not a very informed person, but let me offer you some advice. If, you ever plan on going south of the border YOU BETTER LEAVE ANY WEAPON AT HOME or you'll be in a world of hurt. In Mexico you're guilty until proven innocent and they LIVE by that tenet.

Ollie....I'm very informed..and have traveled a lot in other countries.... and I know exactly how Mexico treats Americans with firearms.... I was stating the fact that I would never go into that crap world in a motor vehicle for 90 miles without being armed. But thanks any way!

I remember always being on the upper deck of KLMs 747s as a kid on our way to and from Tunis. They always had the hottest stuardesses.

KLM is an awesome airline.

So Duke, you're telling me that you won't be driving in Mexico. Correct? When I drove the road to Rocky Point I was just waiting to be hi-jacked. No kidding.

Ollie,

To you, I'm just an Enigma wrapped in Riddle as far as driving a vehicle in Mexico. Ha! Correct I will not be.

Yep, just like a fraternity having a toga party is racist towards Greeks, or how a "brown bag special" is racist towards.. whatever.

This is two days in a row you have made some very bold assertions about what I have and have not done, or how I did or did not act.

I went down there with no attitude.. Stop making excuses for their racism.

Wow. You really do take this kind of stuff to heart don't you?
