According to world hapiness ranking, Mexico is 10th happiest country in the world, but I am having hard time believing that. I hear so many Mexicans only saying they hate living there and I always see cartel and economic problems mentioned when Mexico is on the headline.

Note the same study says Israel is 8th happiest country in the world despite the conflict so i doubt that study is legit.

So, the West tended to sexualize latinos, both men and women, in their media.

Has anyone ever come in contact with westerners and felt sexualized by them SPECIFICALLY because of your origin?

have you ever experienced something like that? and i dont mean partially less prejudice, i mean SIGNIFICANTLY less prejudice. i've already realized that, while abroad, the white well-educated latin-americans are usually seen as white and the poor ones are seen as "latinos". have y'all ever realized this before? generally non-white latin-americans have the shorter end of the stick

This year, many Argentinians went to Chile for vacation. One year ago, it was the opposite.

What happened that Argentina has become so expensive? They show it on TV and on social Media.

there are only 700,000 born brazilians living in the US, that with in contrast to the brazil's population, it's really a small number. now compare it to other latin-american countries like el salvador, mexico, colombia, guatemala, cuba etca...

and most of the brazilians i know say they would move back if they were paid what they are paid here, and the same speech doesn't happen often with other latinos. they always complain and say they miss brazil, but when talking with brazilians living there, they make it feel like the worst place in the world to live and tell you to never go.

Latin americans are known for being loud and extraverted but from your experience are there latin american countries with more reserved and introverted cultures ?

Hi all

I've seen a lot of interesting questions and answers here about Latin America and the perception of your own and neighbouring countries.

It's fascinating how cultures and perception on this continent differs, and I have noticed that nobody ever mentions Ecuador. This is a positive thing at the time people talk about crime and corruption but a negative thing when talking about the positive things of a country.

So my question is why does nobody seem to care about Ecuador? Are the Ecuadorians here simply under-represented?

Which latin american countries does an average person from your country know the least about ?

This was a hot topic in the US and Canada in the past decade so I'm wondering if LATAM has similar issue.

I can’t be the only one noticing that the bad stigma towards gay people seems stronger amongst US latinos compared to the rest of LATAM, or at least amongst Gen Z and Millennial latinos.

Is it that US latinos are more right-leaning than LATAM? I assume religion would play a stronger role in LGBT disapproval in LATAM but I’m not really seeing it that way, it’s completely anecdotal though. Thoughts?

In the US I feel like there about 20-30% of the population works out religiously where the rest while to put it kindly don’t. Whats the culture around the gym and fitness in your country like?

My US friends just gotta roll with the fact that if I call them an hijueputa is because I love them, if I hated them, I’d be calling them hijuelatresmilparesdelasetentamilputa instead.

Because Chile's birthrates are ridiculously low, and it's going to drop more and more.

Do you see them often? Is it a rare occurence? Personally, where I'm from you only see them working at family-owned restaurants or importing companies. Outside of those places I think I barely notice their presence within the country.

Where are you from and where did you go to?

Some notable dictators include Pinochet of Chile, Batista and Castro of Cuba, Peron of Argentina, Trujillo of the Dominican Republic, Papa Doc of Haiti, Fujimori of Peru, etc.

A mexican friend told me about this Mercado Libre marketplace, she said that it was latam's Amazon/eBay, is that accurate? If so, do people use Amazon or eBay there or Mercado Libre dominates?

We went from a country where gang violence was so obscure and in general they used to be more obscure topics from areas like Callao to it being widespread everywhere except the richer areas in Lima.

Would this make Peruvians in Lima or Trujillo move to other more safer parts of Peru or not????

Hi everyone I'm thinking of traveling around in Latin America, but my only concern is my diet. I don't eat any meat but am ok with eggs and dairy products. I can't expect to have vegetarian food available everywhere I go, but generally speaking, how vegetarian friendly are the big cities in Latin America?

In my country men tend to be kinda short but taller than many Asian countries.
