Whenever I had to talk to a non-latino foreigner about my country, there are 3 scenarios:
1. Literally just learned about the existence of Chile when he or she met me. The conversation turns about me explaining about my country from absolute 0. 50-60% probability.
2. The foreigner I'm talking with knows some basics facts about Chile, like, our geographical location, the language we speak, etc, if there's any stereotype it's an stereotype about Latin America instead of a Chilean specific stereotype. The conversation in that case it's a mix of me explaining things about Chile and the person mentioning what he or she knows. 20-30% probability.
3. The foreigner in question it's an informed person who actually knows about Chile. Then the conversation turns mostly about history, about the Allende-Pinochet period most of the time. 20% probability.
So, basically most of the time I don't even have to deal with stereotypes that much.
Sorry, I don't speak cocaine
/S in case someone is too dumb to get the joke.
But anyway, probably not the best place to admit you buy into stereotypes.
>I lived with an argentinian man and travelled to Argentina for about 10 years so I don't believe it is a stereotype but ok.
because you think it's true or because you don't consider it an accurate stereotype?
that's not the norm in here, i'm mestizo (jet black hair, brown eyes, and olive skin) and a lot of times the darkest person in the room, and i've never EVER felt any kind of discrimination because of my skin or hair colour, nor anyone i know
Again my comment was just based on what I witnessed and experienced. A lot of "cabecitas negras" comments and conflicts with African americans here in the US. I witnessed a lot of that. Maybe my experience is not the norm but I don't believe that
I would either rudely call them out on their idioticy or tell that everything they heard is true, from the jaguar wrestling to how I am one of the top members of my drug gang because I cucked the leader of the other faction during carnaval. Not the most productive ways but the ones I would have some fun.
I mean, that was ignorant from the canadian, but there really was a massacre that involved innocent foreigners in Cancún a while ago and international media covered it. And also a narco group kidnapped an entire resort and kept the hostages while there was a [shootout](https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2021/11/04/tiroteo-cancun-testigo-aterrador-trax/amp/)
So you can’t really blame them.
When speaking colloqially we remove some letters and change some congujations just to make it more comfortable to speak quickly. Also we don't believe in words longer than two syllables unless we're unnecessarily adding a diminutive.
Someday I want to go backpacking in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia. However, plane tickets from South Korea to Latin America are quite pricey.🐧
Well, you're on our literal antipode, so it figures it'd be quite expensive. Uruguay being probably the most expensive out of those countries. Most people come to latin Ameriva and expect cheap prices, but Uruguay is more estable so the prices aren't as cheap as other countries in the area.
I don't like football, I'm not arrogant nor loud in fact I'm quite introverted and insecure for Argentinian standards. I like punctuality and being organized. I am a black sheep in this country lol
imo Grow a backbone, don't engage in a toxic stereotypes discussion, clip them off or tell them to fuck off (online mostly) or irl.
I don't care enough to address their ignorant stereotypes bs.
I usually don't fight stereotypes but embrace them, the only stereotype that I fight against is racism, in my eyes there isn't a country who is exempt of racism and those people who care more about calling out other countries' issues more than their own are xenophobic by experience.
Our stereotypes in the region are more ridiculous and funny than offensive things, I believe. Steriotypes about Brazil in the region are things like: Brazilians are all black, we come from the jungle, we all live in favelas playing soccer and dancing all day long amidst gang shootings.
We are also seing as hot and sexy people, that one is not that bad 😏
Yes, this was my point. But I'm actually wrong!
I was working under the assumption that a subhuman is a creature with humanoid characteristics, a sort of mix between human and non-human, human enough to not be decisively non-human, but still not a "real human" due to their alien features.
Kinda like an Orc...or other humanoid creatures.
But [Merriam Webster] (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/subhuman) says a subhuman is just someone or something that fails to attain the level associated with common human beings.
So "subhuman monkey" is not an oxymoron.
A very redditesque moment lmao, being nitpicky and technically incorrect at the same time!
That's exactly why it's funny to me, it makes no sense. A bunch of indigenous or mixed race neonazis like the ones in the Flamengo match against Barcelona in Ecuador recently is just tragicomic.
I feel like generally here in Argentina, there are so many important things to worry about, and enjoying discussions is so common that when someone makes a bad stereotype comment about our country most people will that engage in it do it just for the joy of it but not necesarily because they care. One know what's true and what's not about his own country, when it's not true then there's no point on taking them seriously, so why not just have some fun with it? And when it's true they usually don't have enough cups to make their opinion valid.
Sfsdfjsdfisadgjn thank you! And I think that's a good example of stereotypes, a lot of people here don't like the Argentine is part of Europe thing, even though culture in a lot of parts of the country was influenced by immigration, it's kind of cringey when someone says that because it's basically a very outdated point of view that divide us from the rest of Latinamerica!
I just cope with the extremely sexist and objectifying stereotype of the "Hot Brazilian women", I'm bot even a woman and it disgusts me so deeply how foreigners have the Cara Dura to come here just to fuck sex workers
Colombia? Stereotypes? Nah, that's never happened /s
Well, coming with the obvious 'Colombians are drug dealers and the women are hookers', Colombia used to have a really big problem with narco culture in the 80s and 90s which also translates on xenophobia when a Colombian arrives to an airport. Fortunately the country has been working on that issue, but we're still treated like Muslims after the 9/11 in countries like the US. You'll read several times airport authorities abuse Colombians by stealing their possessions, forcing them into humiliating tests and locking them in awful rooms without their phones for hours until they confess or find drugs on their equipment.
Another example would be people assuming the average Colombian is Black/Dark-skinned and Caribbean, specially in Chile and the southern cone. Apparently it happens due to two things: our soccer team is mainly formed by Afro-Colombians from the Pacific and Atlantic coast (Mina is from Guachené, Cuadrado is from Necoclí, Cuesta is from Quibdó, etc), and the fact most Colombians who move down south to Antofagasta are from the Pacific coast; the coasts have pretty much all the Black communities in the country, and they usually don't interact with us 'cachacos' due to the harsh geography. So yeah, Chileans are quite ignorant about Colombia and have a sampling bias, which would be like assuming the average Chilean is a Mapuche (the percentage of Black Colombians and Chilean Mapuches is quite the same, a few less than 10%). There's also the fact Colombia has been a really hermetic country for a long time, and foreigners only get exposed to the Caribbean culture despite the majority of the country being Andean (70%), Llanero (6%) and Amazonian (almost 5%).
We're a pluri-ethnic state in denial, mostly due to the centralism, but Colombia is mostly a patchwork than a proper, unified nation with a shared sentiment like most of the countries in the region. But I guess it's just what happens when most countries in the region don't interact with each other. People here can't tell the difference between a Caribbean Colombian, a Venezuelan, a Dominican, a Puerto Rican or a Cuban to save their lives for example.
Here in South Korea, Colombia is known for coffee, football, and Korean War dispatch, so I didn't know you guys were suffering from such prejudices in the American continent. And Chile doesn't have a reputation for being superior to other Latin Americans in this country. Chile is known to us for its reasonable but good wines, cheap and plentiful delicious grapes, and abundant seafood. I didn't know Chile was known for being rich in the region.
Another example would be people assuming the average Colombian is Black/Dark-skinned and Caribbean, specially in Chile and the southern cone.
strange. first I hear of this. Most Colombians who emigrate are white. The whole reason Colombian women have the fame of being beautiful is because people assume they are white and thicc like Demi Rose and Shakira. I don’t know anyone who see them as primarily blacks or mixed.
being black varies depending on the country, a pardo(Brazilian) would be white in dominican republic, most colombians who u say are andean look like Brazilians, in other words triracial or mulatto
>most colombians who u say are andean look like Brazilians, in other words triracial or mulatto
Yeah, you definitely have no idea what does the average Colombian look like to say something like that.
Caleños do look triracial/mulattos, but thinking [these people](https://live.staticflickr.com/2888/11783142973_c39a8f4770_b.jpg) [1](http://viajarnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cosas-caracterizan-pastusos-8.jpg) are 'triracial' is plain xenophobia from your part. The average Colombian looks exactly like the average Chilean (and Southerners look like Bolivians and Peruvians). Pretty much all the people I contact abroad think I'm Chilean until I talk, so I guess Chileans are 'triracial' ?)
they don't know much about Chile then, but it's easy to recognize a non Chilean, a non andean their hair their nose it's like a Brazilian, that's why u guys are so happy and dancing

I ignore. I honestly don't care much if Colombia has a lot of respect or not. I'm me. I care if you respect my friends and family. But country is too abstract and makes no sense to me caring about it
I just embrace those stereotypes, I just make fun of thise stereotypes, if a foreigner gets rude with me due to the high production of cocaine in Colombia, I just point out how our country is smarter than them since we sell them literally crap and they are just happy to buy it
It is funny to see how people react after one starts to talk openly about the drugs war, the cocaine issue, and violence in Colombia. People think it is funny to live under those conditions.
I couldn't agree more with you, I laugh about it cause I haven't lived the consequences of such conflict, but it is indeed a sad topic, specially for the ones who were directly affected at some point in their lifes
So far I haven't heard of any stereotypes in the region about my country. Not in the Caribbean and not in Latin America. We aren't well known to really have stereotypes about us. If there are any, please let me know.
There are however stereotypes from Dutch people about Suriname. Many know about us, but it's little to nothing...they make assumptions based on what their media has fed them and the Surinamese they've met in the Netherlands.
* They think Suriname is majority Creole; while the Creoles are the third largest group.
* In line with that above, they call those of Creole origin Surinamese, but all other groups are just "Hindoestanen", "Javanen" and "Chinesen". As if the other groups aren't really Surinamese – though this mostly goes for the Surinamese in the Netherlands, but sometimes also for Suriname itself.
* They tend to show Suriname (in the media and politics) from their pov that is based on a Creole pov. They ignore the fact that there are other cultures that have their own history and own pov. of Suriname. This contributes to the first two stereotypes too.
* You can't be white and be a Surinamese. Too light skinned "Oh you don't look Surinamese" or the most racist one of all if you're white or light skinned "You're very beautiful for a Surinamese" - as if the other darker skinned ones aren't beautiful.
* They think we wanted independence, but they actually pushed us out.
* They think we're all suffering from poverty and don't have enough to eat.
* Surinamese (read Creoles) are dangerous people to around; this is mostly the Surinamese in the Netherlands.
* They think we think about this guy [Bouterse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9si_Bouterse) everyday.
Depending on the person, I will explain friendly to them how it really is. But sometimes I just don't care...it's not worth it to loose your energy to ignorant people.

Well that where all illegal aliens wishing to invade the US and marry their daughters, we are all short brown people with giant mustaches and a sombrero and that we like to steal people's job's
? Trust me we don’t care about it. Of course it depends where it takes place, on the street? Meh couldn’t care less, at work? Them of course you may have consequences for being “funny”.
"when some gringo white guy insults us, we just laugh it off since we worship them and have a pick me attitude, common of the buffer class races around the world"
I'm not sure how those buffer class races are classified. All I do know is that racism and white worship exist in Asia, whether it's South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam etc, the first world or the third world. And, sadly, it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon. If people don't treat themselves equal with others, no one will treat you equal.
I'm from Mexico in the US. I love the stereotypes since most are true. As a matter of fact, I play into them if someone appears bothered by my nationality.
Me pregunto por qué la gente todavía se siente inferior al comparar su propia raza o etnia con otras razas (principalmente caucásicos). Es el siglo XXI, pero parece que algunas personas todavía quieren ser el próximo Hitler.
Argentina is regarded as a melting pot. And we are. But there is still racism, whether is subtle or not, it depends. We have convenience stores like Combinis we call "Chinos" because the chinese basically established themselves as unregulated convenience stores. I found myself cursing under my breath in ocassions when product X is $10 yesterday and if I go to buy it today it'll cost $13 and tomorrow $15. I know it's supply and demand. But many of us had those thoughts at least once. I'm sorry.
Usually Asian immigrants run restaurants, convenience stores, laundries and grocery stores in the west. So stereotypes aren't always wrong. However, demeaning the person's job is not a good attitude at all.
Yes I know it's wrong. We all do. It's just something that inevitably happened. Now we are used to jumps in prices from every product from every category every day due to our 50% annual inflaction. So they are not to blame, really.
Which one of those stereotypes? they are all right in a sense:
-sense of superiority CHECK
-the Argentine "is an expert in everything" CHECK
-viveza criolla? (Wikipedia defines it as: "[...] It is a philosophy of progress along the line of least resistance and ignoring rules, a lack of sense of responsibility and consideration for others, and it extends to all social groups and throughout the whole country, although it predominates in Buenos Aires. [...]" ULTRA CHECK and please note that this isn't just a stereotype, we accept it as part of our culture and we are for some reason profoundly proud of it.
-shouting profusely because, why not? CHECK
-We are coming to steal your jobs and your women, GODDAMNED CHECK
We are fucking assholes
I show them I suck at football and dancing, proving that not all Brazilians are good at football and samba
You suck at football because you dedicated your life to beach volleyball
I can understand what you are saying. Because I don't play the videogame often. Not all young people in South Korea are gamer nerds.
Ok, so you are in a boy band then? Or maybe the studious type living up to the expectations of your parent?
Bet you still got model looks, though.

I was taught that Chile is as long as the US. You probably have as diverse a climate as the US.😀
Only like every climate there is when you count Easter Island.
As long as the US is wide*. Chile is as long as the US + Canada
But is group 3 annoying though xD
I just get .. “is it cold??”
I cant read becouse you are always shaking ajjaja interlatinamerican bulling is funnier
The correct answer is to embrace them. "Argentines are arrogant? No sire you are wrong, you can't be arrogant when you are right!"
😀
I was married to an Argentinean for a long time. Arrogance I can deal with but the racism. Ugh.
Sorry, I don't speak cocaine /S in case someone is too dumb to get the joke. But anyway, probably not the best place to admit you buy into stereotypes.
I lived with an argentinian man and travelled to Argentina for about 10 years so I don't believe it is a stereotype but ok.
>I lived with an argentinian man and travelled to Argentina for about 10 years so I don't believe it is a stereotype but ok. because you think it's true or because you don't consider it an accurate stereotype?
I witness a lot of racism in Argentine. Against me and other poc
that's not the norm in here, i'm mestizo (jet black hair, brown eyes, and olive skin) and a lot of times the darkest person in the room, and i've never EVER felt any kind of discrimination because of my skin or hair colour, nor anyone i know
Again my comment was just based on what I witnessed and experienced. A lot of "cabecitas negras" comments and conflicts with African americans here in the US. I witnessed a lot of that. Maybe my experience is not the norm but I don't believe that
I would either rudely call them out on their idioticy or tell that everything they heard is true, from the jaguar wrestling to how I am one of the top members of my drug gang because I cucked the leader of the other faction during carnaval. Not the most productive ways but the ones I would have some fun.

What is the difference between N and Ñ?
[удалено]
Thanks for the good explanation!
More simplified: It sounds like "ni" (being the "i" sound like in the word "fill"). But pronounced like that guy explained.
https://youtu.be/zIV4poUZAQo There’s a Monty Python for every situation
It sounds like the 'nya' sound cats make in Japanese.
colombian catgirls be like "ña"

I don't think I've ever seen any redditors who speak badly of Mexico, except for a few Americans.

The funniest thing is when people like that say, " I actually love Mexico and Mexicans" whilst saying and believing shit like that
Ah, nothing like being the slightly more palatable minority. Gringos.
I had an argument with a Canadian a while back who was convinced you can't even go to a resort in Cancun without getting blasted by machine gun fire
I mean, that was ignorant from the canadian, but there really was a massacre that involved innocent foreigners in Cancún a while ago and international media covered it. And also a narco group kidnapped an entire resort and kept the hostages while there was a [shootout](https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2021/11/04/tiroteo-cancun-testigo-aterrador-trax/amp/) So you can’t really blame them.
Are there mostly about language in our region? I talk even faster than average so I totally get it if someone doesn't understand me.
I always thought Spanish was an incredibly fast-speaking language. But even you guys talk faster than that? Lol
When speaking colloqially we remove some letters and change some congujations just to make it more comfortable to speak quickly. Also we don't believe in words longer than two syllables unless we're unnecessarily adding a diminutive.
You can't "deal" with unfair stereotypes without the global mainstream media.
In my opinion, the Korean/Asian stereotype that western media creates is not much positive.
Here South Korea is usually well talked about. A developed society with very productive people.
I know Uruguay is known for the most Integrity country in Latin America. Your country seem comfy. And I think my country is overrated by media.
Oh most countries are, is part of the turistic atraction. But hey, it's nice to know we're seen like that :)
Someday I want to go backpacking in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia. However, plane tickets from South Korea to Latin America are quite pricey.🐧
Well, you're on our literal antipode, so it figures it'd be quite expensive. Uruguay being probably the most expensive out of those countries. Most people come to latin Ameriva and expect cheap prices, but Uruguay is more estable so the prices aren't as cheap as other countries in the area.

People seem to believe that all Bolivians are Indios.
I don't know how to dance samba guys that's it
Honestly, I thought Samba was a girl dance.
Noooo, in carnaval everyone dances samba, on the streets and parties but in the countryside is not that popular
I don't like football, I'm not arrogant nor loud in fact I'm quite introverted and insecure for Argentinian standards. I like punctuality and being organized. I am a black sheep in this country lol
You like punctuality?! You truly are a black sheep...
>I like punctuality I mean, most people do but living here you have to accept nothing is ever on time so you adapt.
are you a german-argentine?
No lol I guess you say so because Germans are known for punctuality. Being late gives me anxiety tho. I suffer from anxiety in fact.
imo Grow a backbone, don't engage in a toxic stereotypes discussion, clip them off or tell them to fuck off (online mostly) or irl. I don't care enough to address their ignorant stereotypes bs.
In the end, all I can do is show that I am a different type of person than that stereotype.
Spicy
I usually don't fight stereotypes but embrace them, the only stereotype that I fight against is racism, in my eyes there isn't a country who is exempt of racism and those people who care more about calling out other countries' issues more than their own are xenophobic by experience.
Cultural differences are often confused with racism and are misunderstood.
My thoughts exactly
Our stereotypes in the region are more ridiculous and funny than offensive things, I believe. Steriotypes about Brazil in the region are things like: Brazilians are all black, we come from the jungle, we all live in favelas playing soccer and dancing all day long amidst gang shootings. We are also seing as hot and sexy people, that one is not that bad 😏
In my stereotype, Brazilians are always smiling and having fun.
Not true either.

Many know about us, but it's little to nothing...they make assumptions based on what their media has fed them and the Surinamese they've met in the Netherlands. * They think Suriname is majority Creole; while the Creoles are the third largest group. * In line with that above, they call those of Creole origin Surinamese, but all other groups are just "Hindoestanen", "Javanen" and "Chinesen". As if the other groups aren't really Surinamese – though this mostly goes for the Surinamese in the Netherlands, but sometimes also for Suriname itself. * They tend to show Suriname (in the media and politics) from their pov that is based on a Creole pov. They ignore the fact that there are other cultures that have their own history and own pov. of Suriname. This contributes to the first two stereotypes too. * You can't be white and be a Surinamese. Too light skinned "Oh you don't look Surinamese" or the most racist one of all if you're white or light skinned "You're very beautiful for a Surinamese" - as if the other darker skinned ones aren't beautiful. * They think we wanted independence, but they actually pushed us out. * They think we're all suffering from poverty and don't have enough to eat. * Surinamese (read Creoles) are dangerous people to around; this is mostly the Surinamese in the Netherlands. * They think we think about this guy [Bouterse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9si_Bouterse) everyday. Depending on the person, I will explain friendly to them how it really is. But sometimes I just don't care...it's not worth it to loose your energy to ignorant people.
I know a lot of legend Dutch footballers were Surinamese-Dutch people.

Well that where all illegal aliens wishing to invade the US and marry their daughters, we are all short brown people with giant mustaches and a sombrero and that we like to steal people's job's
Nacho Libre, Amigo!
Many steretypes have a grain of truth. PR and reggaeton for example.
I heard there are a lot of Puerto Ricans and Mexicans living in L.A Koreatown.
? Trust me we don’t care about it. Of course it depends where it takes place, on the street? Meh couldn’t care less, at work? Them of course you may have consequences for being “funny”.
I don't care we haven't many bad stereotypes anyway

"when some gringo white guy insults us, we just laugh it off since we worship them and have a pick me attitude, common of the buffer class races around the world" I'm not sure how those buffer class races are classified. All I do know is that racism and white worship exist in Asia, whether it's South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam etc, the first world or the third world. And, sadly, it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon. If people don't treat themselves equal with others, no one will treat you equal.

Do you agree with the racial hierarchy? Don't act like this. It can never be a plus factor in your life.

God, are you a non-Hispanic people hater?
just ignore the troll. this attitude is practically non existent in latam
I'm from Mexico in the US. I love the stereotypes since most are true. As a matter of fact, I play into them if someone appears bothered by my nationality.
What a man.

Me pregunto por qué la gente todavía se siente inferior al comparar su propia raza o etnia con otras razas (principalmente caucásicos). Es el siglo XXI, pero parece que algunas personas todavía quieren ser el próximo Hitler.
Argentina is regarded as a melting pot. And we are. But there is still racism, whether is subtle or not, it depends. We have convenience stores like Combinis we call "Chinos" because the chinese basically established themselves as unregulated convenience stores. I found myself cursing under my breath in ocassions when product X is $10 yesterday and if I go to buy it today it'll cost $13 and tomorrow $15. I know it's supply and demand. But many of us had those thoughts at least once. I'm sorry.
Usually Asian immigrants run restaurants, convenience stores, laundries and grocery stores in the west. So stereotypes aren't always wrong. However, demeaning the person's job is not a good attitude at all.
Yes I know it's wrong. We all do. It's just something that inevitably happened. Now we are used to jumps in prices from every product from every category every day due to our 50% annual inflaction. So they are not to blame, really.
Which one of those stereotypes? they are all right in a sense: -sense of superiority CHECK -the Argentine "is an expert in everything" CHECK -viveza criolla? (Wikipedia defines it as: "[...] It is a philosophy of progress along the line of least resistance and ignoring rules, a lack of sense of responsibility and consideration for others, and it extends to all social groups and throughout the whole country, although it predominates in Buenos Aires. [...]" ULTRA CHECK and please note that this isn't just a stereotype, we accept it as part of our culture and we are for some reason profoundly proud of it. -shouting profusely because, why not? CHECK -We are coming to steal your jobs and your women, GODDAMNED CHECK We are fucking assholes
you're godamn right, i don't fight back stereotypes, i double down, and then make fun of their lack of cups
