~~Most~~ The first majority of Spanish speaking people are Mexican. We ask for café negro. Now, the interesting part is that if you want a café negro in any cafe, and you feel awkward about it, you can ask for a café americano. It's curious how the café negro in this setup is the "American coffee". Then again, we don't think America is America, we understand America as the Americas.

Unfortunately not, but I'm clearly talking about countries. I'm not saying every Spanish speaking country should use "cafe negro", I was just stating that a good chunk of Spanish speaking people do use "cafe negro".

I'm just saying, that "most Spanish speaking people are Mexican" is dangerously doing a heavy lifting. Take that as you will

Sure, I'm living on the edge.
