Rename category?[edit]

I find the name "Category: Mexican-American relations" confusing for two reasons:

1) The term "Mexican-American" usually refers to people of Mexican background or ancestry who live in the United States.

2) Once you understand that the category is about foreign relations between Mexico and "America," the meaning of "America" remains ambiguous (all the Americas, or just the United States?).

For both reasons, I would find it simpler and less ambiguous to rename this article "Category: Mexico-United States relations". --Potosino 01:18, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
