Reply to comment by competitive-dust in Mexican Tourist Whacked with Stick, Heckled after Illegally Climbing Sacred Mayan Pyramid. by ThePinkTeenager

What I don’t understand is why him being Polish or Mexican matters at all in the context of the scenario. Legit the title could’ve read “tourist hit with stick and heckled for illegally climbing stone monument” and I think we’d have all been fine

It matters because of context, before I even checked this out it was confusing because the pyramids are already in Mexico, so why would the person be a 'Mexican' tourist in their own country, and not understand it being inappropriate to climb the pyramid. I understand people can tour their own country but in the context of a news article it confused me. And if they had left it as just tourist, I would have assumed the person was American.
