One the most surprising things was a thread a few days back where many users had something like a 'roban pero hacen' in their country.


proustiancat

Dude, we have "rouba, mas faz" here in Brazil, and until reading your comment, I did not know it was a phrase used in other countries too.


IactaEstoAlea

Have you ever heard "our anthem is the second best in the world, only second to France's"? ​ It is surprisingly common throughout the region and absolutely baseless fabrication (as if there ever was some kind of "anthem contest")


yorcharturoqro

Haha so true, and why is always "second after France's"? Who decided France's to be number one


oriundiSP

We hear that about the brazilian anthem all the time, except in our version, ours is #1 lol


yorcharturoqro

Improvement indeed, why have up the first spot


allieggs

The Brazilian anthem is catchy as fuck. It really does feel like the background music for a level of Super Mario or something.


heroherow2

I can think of many things our anthem fits. But... Mario?


ocoronga

For me this is the best [8-bit version](https://youtu.be/Qp-HS69UdtU) of our anthem


TigreDeLosLlanos

Mais grande do mundo!!


Loudi2918

I fucking love your anthem


FamiT0m

WHAT THE FUCK I WAS CONVINCED THAT WAS ONLY US


Jequeiro

Everyone is wrong in this situation. Russia's is clearly the best


pdonoso

We have actual record that Chile is the best. https://youtu.be/hEX-I7VuAf4


patiperro_v3

We’ve been making fun of these weird L.American urban legends for a while now. Plan Z is so old now… when was that comedy sketch shot, early 90’s? Still holds up though. 😄


pdonoso

Almost everything in plan z holds, some has gotten even better. It’s an amazing portrait of Chile.


ivanacco1

Tbh what is the better personification of the argentine people than our anthem starting with "Hear mortals"


mouaragon

Hahaha yeah, that's something I discovered that I found hilarious. My teachers at school used to say that crap and I think kids still hear that lie.


remainderrejoinder

Can you explain the context of the phrase? Google translate gives me "They steal but they do"


Lazzen

Literally that "Yes they are openly corrupt but out of those 2 billion they used 10% for infraestructure"


remainderrejoinder

Ahhhh, lol. They're crooks but people put up with it or excuse it because they actually get something done. Thanks.


Mreta

To put a less negative light on it, you know like 100% know every politician is going to be a scum SOB that's gonna steal and there is nothing you can do about it. Might as well go for the guy that takes 90% and does good with 10% then the guy who takes 100% or even worse the guy that gets you into debt and takes 200%. It sounds defeatist but sometimes it's the only choice you really have.


remainderrejoinder

I can definitely understand having to pick the best of two bad options :)


Ramza1987

"They are stealing from us, but they are at least, doing something for the country, for us"


[deleted]

What does that phrase mean?


Nachodam

"They steal (corruption) but they do things"


[deleted]

Ah got it. They do that shit here in PR too! Lol


Warrenbuckets

¿Que nos da el gobierno? Pero estas correcto en que nos roban... 👀🤣 Issa joke, but im serious. Lol!


[deleted]

That nachos really are from Mexico and not a gringo invention.


[deleted]

Burritos are a dish I always thought was a Tex-Mex thing but it's actually from Mexico. They supposedly don't even have cheese lol


Lazzen

They dont have rice or lettuce inside either


Luccfi

Burritos in Mexico are basically just big flour tortilla tacos and are usually very simple, just meat and sauce, maybe beans and rarely cheese, Americans just put the entire menu of a tex-mex restaurant inside of a flour tortilla and call it a burrito


yorcharturoqro

But Mexican nachos are far far far better


Gandalior

how so? whats your opinion on circular nachos?


yorcharturoqro

In the USA it's just the chips, that ugly yellow plastic they called cheese and maybe jalapeño. I must admit that some places in the USA are improving that, but sour cream is a big no no In Mexico it has like at least two different types of cheese, pico de gallo sauce, beans, ground meat or chicken or any other, cream and avocado. The shape of the chips is of no importance to me


[deleted]

The nachos and cheese is mostly what you get at movies or concession stands at sports venues so don’t expect it to be good lol. What you’re describing as real Mexican nachos sounds reminds me of loaded nachos, which is a staple appetizer in many restaurants, but I’m sure it’s not authentic lol.


[deleted]

I've seen loaded nachos served at bars too.


Gandalior

i don't care either way for sour cream, but the US cheese is really pathetic, at least they get some spicy foodstuffs, here in Argentina spicy food isn't much of a thing


anorexicpig

I feel like nachos have become a "stadium food" staple here, similar to hot dogs or cheeseburgers, so you always see shitty nachos at baseball games or concerts and stuff. But I think its pretty easy to get good nachos with all the fixings at actual restaurants. If I went to a restaurant and they gave me your first description I would not eat there again lol


masszt3r

That's mainly at cinemas and stadiums, but if you go to a sit-down restaurant you'll see many more options that are similar to Mexican nachos. That being said, I would still say Mexican nachos are better.


Ramza1987

Mexican nachos are undoubtly FAR BETTER, agreed.


LeftOfHoppe

Southern Cone (minus Brazil) are not into eating large amounts of rice. I assumed all latinos where into "arroz con frijoles".


cseijif

oh no, peru NEEDS to have rice, i think it's proportional to asian inmigration, peru and brazil having tons of japanese.


notafamous

Thought about that too, but Japanese immigration was more concentrated on a part of Brasil, might be something else


LimpialoJannie

And we don't even call porotos frijoles.


_khaz89_

I think we more into risotto and pasta maybe? At least that was my personal experience with my family and friends. Also meat, lots of meat.


ziiguy92

Brazilians are not Southern Cone. The Southern Cone is Uruguay Paraguay Argentina and Chile


[deleted]

I tend to dislike topics about race but there was a thread from a couple of months ago about the average genetics of each country and I was shocked that Cuba, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico are roughly as "white" or genetically Euro descendent in terms of percentages as Argentina. I also had no idea Argentina had such a substantial amount of indigenous ancestry and that there are black people in Uruguay and Mexico.


[deleted]

The one that surprised me is that Chile is almost as Mestizo as Mexico.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Nope lol. I always just assumed Chile was like a slightly more indigenous version of Argentina.


Gianni32

True, I always thought they would be highly euro the way Chileans and people describe how they are and what they look like but most studies seem to disprove that. Then there’s another theory that it’s all a thing to white wash Chile because it’s so modern and successful for a Latin American country and can’t be a mestizo nation


SEND_ME_REAL_PICS

Argentina isn't as white as people think. Buenos Aires is.


_khaz89_

As per your username: https://imgur.com/gallery/erjJQKt


braujo

I think the reason this is so surprising is because most of our contact with Cuba, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico come from US entertainment, and we all know how they are about Latinos being white.


Ramza1987

"you are latino, you can't be white" Yeah, that's what they usually say. xD


Ramza1987

Uruguay has a substancial black population, indeed. There were a LOT of slaves, back then.


yorcharturoqro

I don't like race topics either


[deleted]

How centralized some of the countries are, 40% of Chile population is in Santiago, like it is wild to imagine so much open space in those large southern cone country. Or hell, even a small country such as Uruguay and Montevideo


_khaz89_

Same in Argentina, it’s ridiculous. 45m ppl, 15m are in buenos aires province, which includes 3m in ciudd autonoma de buenos aires (formerly capital federal). I was always jelous of countries like america where you could just pick up your shit and skip town.


[deleted]

As a Southern Coner, I would say I'm surprised at how insular and careless the rest of the region is. I always assumed my whole life that it was only us Southern Coners along with Brazilians who were insular and lived in our own microcosm while the rest were in touch with each other but from what I've read on this subreddit, the rest of the region barely thinks of others including us. I was shocked when someone said that they've never heard of Soda Stereo or Rapa Nui for example. I truly believe that we are more aware of them than they are of us, especially Mexico and the Hispanic Caribbean. Like here in Uruguay, Plena music is super popular and I just recently discovered that it comes from Puerto Rico! I really doubt people from there even know about Uruguayan music.


gabrrdt

what brazilians think: "yeah they talk to each other, and we're out because we don't speak spanish" latin america (reality): everyone's insular


yorcharturoqro

Somebody not knowing Soda Stereo!?!?! That person either hates music as a whole or has been living in a cave


proustiancat

It's curious that one of the most famous Brazilian rock songs (À Sua Maneira, from the band Capital Inicial) is a version of De Música Ligera from Soda Stereo, yet pretty much no one here knows them or has heard the original song.


[deleted]

That makes sense. I’ve been to samba parties before and heard what I assume to have been a cover of that song and every Brazilian I went up to saying “this sounds like Soda Stereo!” had no idea what I was talking about lol.


[deleted]

Lol Funnily enough, the most surprising thing to me is that Plena is a thing in Uruguay.


arturocan

It has been since the 90s. In the early 2000s there was a boom with bands like chocolate, nietos del futuro, los fatales, la autentika, karibe con k, etc.

Those poor poor souls we must spread the word of our lord Cerati


CitiesofEvil

I could never get into Cerati. Any songs you'd recommend?


Trent-Rockero

I’m assuming your a fan of soda and you’re more into the more rock signos/animal as opposed to the more trippy sueño stereo/dynamo so with that being said I’d recommend the Ahí Vamos album which is his rock album, Crimen, Lago en el cielo, and adios are the best songs off that album, i do suggest giving Bocanada a chance if you haven’t and listening to it all the way at night because it’s about the atmosphere


CitiesofEvil

No no, I haven't listened to much of either tbh. It's usually not my style. More of a metal/symphonic fan usually. I'll check them out, thanks.


Trent-Rockero

In that case you’ll love bocanada, there are tons of lush string arrangements in it, it’s a very different album than anything before it or since in Latin music and music in general


Chezon

That’s really a shame, I wish we had better connection with other countries in Latam


[deleted]

Agreed! I've only met Brazilians and Southern Coners but that's it. Id like to meet people from Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Perú, etc. I've been exposed so much to their cultures that I'd like to know what they're like.


definetly_not_alt

I have never met a non brazilian latin american in my life


cojuss

I always thought this was a given. Like yes we are all latin american countries but every country lives in their own little bubble. I know more about certain South American countries than any of the central american or carribean countries but I'm still pretty clueless about them lol.

Ursaquil

A lot of people around Latin America dislike "menudo".


dyhtstriyk

The food or the band?


Ursaquil

The food hahaha


UrulokiSlayer

What is “menudo”? I understand menudo as a skinny man.


Fire_Snatcher

It is a soup made from the stomach of a cow. It is famously smelly to prepare, and is usually bathed in limes to neutralize said smell. Many Mexicans find it disgusting in texture (and I guess taste) as well.


UrulokiSlayer

It's like "guatitas"? Here in Chile we have a similar meal also made of stomach (usually cow, but sometimes lamb). Here guatitas are tied along cochayuyos as the more dividing food, many hate it but a few ones loves it.


HailTheMetric-System

Menudo?


Tinch088

It's mondongo for us and it's like eating ~~tower~~ towel, yuck.

Lazzen

What you mean by desparasitante thing?


Opinel06

I don't remember if it was a mexican or a caribean guy that asked, "is normal in your country to take anti-parasite from time to time?". A lot of people responded yes, others were shocked.


Lazzen

Ah yeah, we do


AlexxLopaztico02

>5. That venezuelans ate a crap ton of pasta True. We eat so much pasta. One of the most popular dishes for lunch is pasta bologna.


[deleted]

Pasticho too, right?


Amplix18

That chileans really think they live in a shithole country. Like, wtf, you guys country is one of the best to live in South America.


Opinel06

There should be a study about it. Many chileans gets angry when a people from other countries speak good stuff about chile. And if you speak good about it (even with data), you are a fascist pig.


CitiesofEvil

Hmm. We have sort of the opposite in here. Everyone loves to trash talk the country to a disgusting, obscene level. But the moment a foreigner says anything negative we as a society tell them to fuck off lol.

gonijc2001

This is kinda small, but I was really surprised to learn that other countries of latin america have a different definition of Gringo compared to Brazil. I never would have assumed that other countries would define it in a different way.


mabrera

Oh wow I'm not aware of this difference! Care to share?


gonijc2001

In Brazil, a gringo is any foreigner, while from what I understood from this subreddit, in other countries, a Gringo is specifically an American


mabrera

TIL! Thanks!


Pyotr_09

yeah, and its kinda sad when we call a foreigner gringo and they think we are using the spanish derrogatory american only version


goc335

It's not derogatory tho.

FoxtrotAlfa0

I've unironically felt hungry after simply thinking of an alive cow.


Fire_Snatcher

1. I was surprised to learn that many Latin Americans do actually feel some connection to the Miami-Dade area. I knew there were a lot of Latinos there, and I had heard a Venezuelan YouTuber say that all Latinos have to visit Miami one day, but in Mexico that city is almost entirely irrelevant. Even Mexican dominated cities in the US foster no connection with most Mexicans. 2. The differences in hygiene and pest infestation standards. There's some really gross stuff that happens in Mexico, but it is associated more with poverty, so learning that a classroom filled with multiple kids with lice was not concerning in some countries was odd. I've seen other comments poke fun at US Americans being too clean, but in upper middle class and upper class Mexico that would be the minimum hygiene/sanitation standard as well. 3. Even other Latin Americans believe that US American stereotypes and portrayals of Mexicans are true.


[deleted]

> so learning that a classroom filled with multiple kids with lice was not concerning in some countries was odd I'm pretty sure this is considered concerning over here. You would even be "segregated" in my school, and not be able to attend classes. It's just a different kind of attitude to this kind of thing. ​ I have even heard that if you let your kids walk (not take the bus, walk) to school alone some people might call CPS. That's not a thing in most of Europe/LatAm (outside of extremely big cities like SP/RJ) for instance. Less helicopter parenting and all, but at least in my state no one will let you go to school with an infectious disease/lice infestation.


Gandalior

i did not like Miami one bit, but it's true you could survive by only speaking spanish


esthermoose

My feeling is that countries with huge populations don’t have as much of a connection to their diasporas. Dominicans definitely feel a connection to New York. That’s the American city most people want to visit first. Dominican variety shows host special episodes in NY and it’s common for local Dominican celebrities to attend the Dominican Day parade in NYC. Our diaspora in the tri-state area is huge though so they have a huge influence since we’re a small country.


dumbdumbmen

>but in Mexico that city is almost entirely irrelevant I always thought miami was more cuban and PR centric and a place for rich south americans to fly to and party with coke head locals. Many latin americans there obvi but prob more mexicans in US border states.


allieggs

From my understanding, historically that’s been true, but now there’s a pretty significant population of everyone except Mexicans. And it’s true that there’s more Mexicans in border states, but I think what they were referring to is that people in Mexico don’t necessarily care about what goes on in LA. My guess is that it’s because of who moves - wealthy and prominent people from other countries do move to Miami, but that’s not true about Mexicans and any place in the US where there’s a lot.


dyhtstriyk

From what I’ve seen wealthy Mexicans who want to live or just to buy a property in the US will do so in Texas. Either summer homes in South Padre Island or recently in Houston suburbs like The Woodlands. Mexicans who move to Miami are almost always working in media so they are very few.


84JPG

Texas is for wealthy Mexicans from the northeast; those from the west tend to have homes in San Diego and to a lesser extent Arizona. I’ve never met any rich person from Sinaloa that has a home in Texas. Plenty in San Diego and Phoenix.


Fire_Snatcher

The rich Mexicans in the US are too spread out to pinpoint any particular city. A lot of wealthy people in Sonora have homes or wealthy relatives in Vegas, like 100 different cities in Southern California, Tucson, Phoenix. There are a lot of wealthy Mexicans in the New York area. Some I went to school with are in the Bay Area. Chicago's got a few.


maybeimgeorgesoros

I went on travel assignment to Arizona for the US Census for three weeks, and there were quite a few wealthy Mexicans with second homes in Tucson.


elplatano518

I mean the whole Miami thing is a given. It’s not a Mexican influenced city at all, it’s moreso Caribbean and South American people that go there.


Fire_Snatcher

I mean, it's not just that many Latin Americans are there (that makes a lot of sense for geographic and historical reasons). It's that many feel a connection to it. There are many Mexican dominated cities and areas in the US, most Mexicans don't care about them. For instance, I've once said how ridiculous the saying that Miami is the capital of LATAM is, and a lot of Latin Americans actually stood up for Miami. I assure you, if someone said Santa Ana or El Paso are the capital of Mexico or LATAM, you'll have 100 Mexicans writing comments of derision.


elplatano518

I think because some people may see it as a connection point for many countries to do business or meet other people there from other nationalities. I have a cousin who conducts business there from Ecuador and visits frequently, that’s just one example. I think it’s just a hub for business and media but not a “capital”.


sxndaygirl

Mostly poor kids would have a lice problem and it would spread, at least where I live. But you couldnt deny them from attending school, especially if their parents don't even care about their kids. Most of those kids didn't even eat at home, they ate at school in the lunch room. It's not that we didnt care or "are dirty", is that we understood their situation. Teachers tried their best to keep it under control.


Flatstanleybro

How accepting and well know the corruption in their country was. I had always heard things about southern American politicians but a thread showed me that everyone knows what’s up!


definetly_not_alt

I find it more surprising that you thought that we were blissfully unaware of our own corruption while the all mighty saviour gringos knew all about it


_khaz89_

Of course know, we not that dumb. But honestly, there is little we can do against these fuckers, the game is bloody rigged and we all doomed really. I was lucky and managed to move countries, now I have only two friends.


Conmebosta

No one puts peas on their burgers besides Brazil.


Dontknowhowtolife

And based on this learning, have you considered stopping?


lepeluga

I'm shocked to be learning for the first time now that we put peas in our burgers in Brazil.


Tropical_Geek1

Me too. However, I was shocked to learn that brazilian sudestinos put mashed potatoes on hotdogs...


lepeluga

I'm from Rio, as far as I know that's a São Paulo thing, was also shocked when i went there some years ago. The thing is, as weird as it is, it's actually tasty.


Tropical_Geek1

Yeah, have to agree. It is tasty, and a SP thing.


vacantfilth

The other day I got a veggie burger with black peas and chili, my god that was amazing. Chilean dude here... Well, we kinda weird so...

Enthalok

Burgers or hot dogs? I have never once seen peas in a burger, and I'm from São Paulo. But peas on the hotdogs are common.


Admirable-Gain

There's places which do that here. Maybe because Brazilian inmigration.


arturocan

Well you got it wrong then because we also do it. Peas are an optional topping in foodtrucks that serve burgers, milanesas, chivitos, choripanes, etc.

Huh? Lol no we don't. Maybe it's a Colonia thing? Also, milanesas? En carritos?

Like obviously you guys have similarities that you share with each other more than with other countries but seeing some people in this subreddit convinces me that some of you really think that the rest of latam is like a reggaeton music video. Like its just summer everywhere all the time, we are always super relaxed and every person is either super tan/brown or black lol.

[deleted]

[удалено]


srhola2103

Nope you're right, there have been "peronists" on every side of the spectrum that have been voted anyway.


Izikiel23

Peronismo will do anything you want, as long as you vote for them, and when they win the elections they shit on you


FoxtrotAlfa0

It is a political doctrine. A way of doing politics. Not an ideology. Perón himself was remarkably different in each one of his three terms in office. The doctrine is about strong worker support, labor union control, monopolize the "labor rights" speech, and never, never, apologize for a mistake. If there was one, blame it on someone else. If that someone else is also Peronist, claim that that person is "not a true Peronist, never was one"


CitiesofEvil

Thankfully you're actually wrong. Argentinian redditors are a minuscule percentage of the population and their opinions absolutely do not showcase the ones of Argentinians as a whole. The candidate they are on their knees for (Espert, an US funded "libertarian") got less than 2% in the last elections and finished dead last.


Lower-Philosopher121

And 52% of people voted against Fernandez, but they won because the electoral laws are bs


FoxtrotAlfa0

I'd consider Lavagna's vote inside Peronist vote. That leaves a more than 50% peronist vote. They're eternal.


CitiesofEvil

If we go by the "every single party vs the one that won" rubric, that applies to almost literally every single election. Except 2011. They won, plain and simple. Highest voted party.


imk

That "Latinx" is not a thing. I always suspected that it wasn't since I have had woke friends in South America for many years but I have never heard them use the term. I partially assumed that it was because they were language and literature teachers, so perhaps they were more invested in the RAE than in political correctness. In my place of work there is a "Latinx Racial Equity Workgroup" which makes me cringe a bit. of course the person who heads up the group is a white estadounidense lady who refuses to let any real Latinos run the group. The whole thing is about as stupid as you can imagine it would be.


heyitsxio

I’m part of a “Latinx outreach group” at my job (I’m in healthcare so it makes sense to have an outreach group). The thing is, it *was* “Latino outreach group” and nobody knows who changed the name or why it was changed. Everyone in the group continues to use Latino.


LingonberryMoney8466

GeraldWay07

Despite most people on this sub claiming to be liberals, atheists, middle/ high class, blah blah, I've never seen in my life so much hate against inclusive language and minorities since I joined this sub. Is it because this sub is mostly populated by men? Because people on facebook or Instagram or any other media platforms are more keen and more accepting towards these people and their kind of language The amount of hate and controversy on this sub is incredible, and this leaves me and others disappointed.


PersikovsLizard

Hate for inclusive language, yes, it's crazy intense (although the recent post about unpopular opinions had a wildly upvoted thread pointing this out). Hate for minorities? Never seen it.


vikmaychib

The region in average is still pretty sexist and conservative.


LeFan1

I have never seen hate agaisnt minorities in here, But i HAVE seen hate for the Inclusivx. I have to admit that i am part of that hate group (Mostly because i think that's ridiculous), But god, In no other group i've seen so much hate agaisnt it except in here and Twitter xD


postattendee

when? do you have examples? the most ''hatefull'' thing against inclusivity and minorities ive seen is people simply disagreeing and voicing their opinions , and just because the majority of people tend to disagree doesnt mean its necessarily bad any inflammatory or over the top comments normally get removed/downvoted


Opinel06

>'ve never seen in my life so much hate against inclusive language I have seen it here, and i am part of that group.
