The ones who think they know about the problems of Latin America/your country better than you and come at you lecturing you (seen it happening a few times in this sub, we call it gringoexplaining)
The ones with obnoxious takes about race
Americans with Latam ancestry who see themselves as “Latinx” and think they know everything about Latam and are representatives of the region, analyzing our culture through a gringo lens without realizing it
two in particular: 1) the type that complains about every little thing. and 2) ones who are overly adventurous and do anything and everything. I find it a little fake.
The gringo who is so ignorant about the fact that other people’s experiences are different from their own that they talk about some random irrelevant shit about their life like the neighborhood they grew up in, or some dumb TV show, or their favorite ultra-processed food that they used as a substitute for the love their parents never gave them, and they act absolutely shocked that a person from the other side of the world never heard of it.
USAns get emotional for any stupid reason. Like, they see a farmer girl in the Andes and suddenly they’re crying while the girl (who should be the one sad about it) is doing her chores or running.around with other kids.
The ones who act like experts on LATAM yet have no idea what LATAM is and also base everything off of stereotypes when it’s not. They should learn to be informed. Also when they are shocked to see a white Latin American in LATAM when latam is rich in culture
Maga cultists are genuinely evil. They relish in the suffering of innocent people, be it Ukrainian civillians getting bombed or Latino families being torn apart.
….Whichever ones come to this sub and ask a question relating to ONE country
Like i dont care if you wanna be a sex pest or whatever in Cartagena go ask r/colombia so they can boil you alive instead of this sub.
Aside from them? I honestly didin’t interact with many other foreigners in CR, but i did have to bash into my moms head that we were immigrants and not expats (even if she wasn’t employed)
Man, if you think the “cartel” is a single entity, then you don’t have a valuable opinion about a major problem that affects my country and I don’t take your opinion seriously.
But that doesn’t mean I won’t drink with you and think you’re stupid.
If he considers himself immigrant, just as anybody else that goes to live abroad, makes me think that he doesn’t think of his nationality as a god-given gift to the world.

British
The entitled ones who call themselves “expats” and have an elaborate made up bullshit excuse why “they are not an immigrant” but instead are “expats”
Bitch you an immigrant, no matter your reasons or economic circumstances, you still moved out of your birth country to another country for “reasons”
The crying gringo.

the chino who isnt even chinese
All of them
Mexicans and other latinos in Brazil who think they aren’t gringos and get mortally offended when they are called that.
Those who come for sex only, those are the worst in my opinion.

MAGA
Anyone can be a gringo
It’s a dumb uneducated person imo
Even Mexicans in Colombia can be gringos
Or Argentineans in Mexico
Or Venezuelans in Colombia
The hard party tourists from a wealthier country.
Specially those who come to avoid everything from the country except drugs, alcohol and prostitutes (males and females)
Progressive gringos that call you a bigot for everything, those blue haired ones that go “you do realize you’re privileged right? Let me educate you.”
But, but, I also hate MAGA. Two extremes that I just don’t like.
😢😢😢

Just hearing the word “cartel” in singular.
Did you know the cartel does “x” or “y”…
Man, if you think the “cartel” is a single entity, then you don’t have a valuable opinion about a major problem that affects my country and I don’t take your opinion seriously.

I don’t hate anyone.
MAGAs
The one who does not use the word expat.

Americans.
Can we stop trying to promoting hatred of The United States and its citizens on this sub, it’s getting pretty tiresome
“Doesn’t anyone here speak English?!”
“Can I get a clean glass?”
“Don’t you people have any white bread, hotdogs and American cheese?”
“Make America great again!”
Please don’t let these gringos enter your countries.
