To be fair , without topes no drivers would slow down for villages simply because there ' s a sign that asks nicely . but yeah , often the speed bump isn ' t painted and the only sign is hand painted on a 15 cm piece of wood taped to a cubeta . My other beef is that there is ZERO continuity . some speed bumps are super suave and only require that you slow down to 40 kph . other ones will break your car if you don ' t slow down to 10 kph and take it at an angle . You never know what kind of tope you ' re going to get . The worst is a village between Huatulco and Salina Cruz that has 9 topes . 9 ! In like 1 km of road . Ridiculous . <| sep |> Yeah , but he didn ' t ruin any events . <| sep |> I ' ve interacted with people of plenty of nationalities . I understand that to people who don ' t live in America , we are Americans . That ' s our nationality . But I don ' t think my Chinese friends who have had family here since the 1800 s would stop saying they are Chinese even though they are obviously American . They are Chinese Americans . We don ' t lose our heritage just because we gain a nationality . When someone asks what you are in this country , it often is a question of where your family came from .
