User blog comment:Xxkiiroxx/"Shingeki no Kyojin is Set in North America" Theory/@comment-27821571-20170204181342

Not a bad theory, but...

If it would stretch from around Canada-USA-Mexico, then around the South (e.g Wall Maria) would be Mexico right? But... a lot of the characters from that region (e.g Eren, Armin, Hannes) don't look very Mestizo or Amerindian to me.

Plus, considering Homeland and Eldia and all, that would be further south to the point of where it would be in South American... and the characters from there (e. Grisha, Zeke, Bertolt), again, don't look Mestizo or Amerindian at all.

Another big thing is that why wouldn't there be any Amerindians in around the middle region (e.g Wall Rose) if it would be where modern day USA is? To write them as being completely killed off wouldn't be a good idea. Stuff like that gains controversy with Amerindians.

From what we've gathered, it's likely set on a different Earth.

Good theory eitherway, but the characters still seem rather European to me.
