Each one of us has a mental perception that is generalizing the reality and its parts: When we talk about a territory, a comune, a region, a gender (male or female), an age (old, young...), politics (Right, Left, other groups), and so on. One of this way of generalize the reality is the stereotype, but I think that a stereotype is build by the massive communication net and all kind of publicitation in the society.
Today I'm gonna talk about the massive Idea about LatinAmerican stereotypes for the main known countries, and then mention what is my own vision about these countries:
Mexicans: They are dirty and lazy people, that is very friendly and kind. They are good at parties and loves to drink a lot of tequila. Also they are very loud and cheerful. I personally think that they are the most like a chilean: gray sad people plunged in their jobs, working a lot and being very submissive to the boss.
Cubans: They are comunists that dances very well, with a rythmical nature. They are very charming and dirty. I personally think they are very diverse, so it’s hard to stereotype them, anyway i think they are joy people with a lot of sensitive for society.
Brazilians: They are good to soccer and well dancers. They are also good lovers and charming. They haven’t many negative aspects but I can mention that they are violent and mean. I personally thinks that they are very polarized: poors and riches. The Rich are these that we found in the Elite World making tourism, taking photos, always happy. We don’t know much about poor brazilian people, maybe they are a little violent, but humble and charming.
Peruvians and bolivians: They are dirty, lazy, uglies, inferiors and all this kind of things that the Chilean Elite tell to us after the Saltpeter War . I personally think that they are a incredible rich people that has an awesome diversity of natural landscapes and cultures, and this is their richness (i think more Bolivia than Peru). I think too that they are very humble and faithful.
Argentinians: They are very charming and womaniers, unorganized and charlatans. I personally have to add that they are incredible arrogant and snobby, but very creatives, social and culturally compromised.
Chileans: The “Jaguars” from LatinAmerica, polite people. International robbers and charlatans. I think we are a nation of coward-sad people that sucks the penis of the boss; we love the owners of our nation and our lifes; we admire our conquerors and we want to be like them. Our youth is full of idiots that copy the modes from the youth of Empire Nations (G-20) and we aspire in our lifes to have a nice car, a nice house, a nice wife and a shiny job; So we use to sell our culture, our environment and all this kind of things.
Again I remind that this Post is a stupid generalization of the people.
Anyway I think like the Capitalist Global World will become the nations and the people more like the description I wrote for the chileans: I think we are the the LatinAmerican Vanguard of the capitalist society model: the non-thinking consumer machine.
Inside Chile I know-see the next Stereotypes:
North: dark-skinned people, with completely black hair, small and almost don't talk.
Center: An idiot that think he is better than others.
South: Kind people that speaks like singing and is a little fat. Descendants from germans or mapuche. They are like Huasos, a little rude too.
Urban: Snobby sad people, flytes that pick pockets to everyone, racist-fascist-stupid cuicos and so on...
