For example: when there is a tourist, other people usually make a judgment based on his/her nationality?
Or also in life in general.
By prejudices I don’t mean something negative, but to assume things about the other person. In Europe people think that Brazilians are always happy and extroverted. Or that French people are arrogant.

Yeah, ofc. We live and die by prejudice for other nationalities, not only against other latin americans. For example, we think US people are too full of themselves and are stupid. And don’t get me started with the v-words.
As of about a decade ago, yeah. The migrant caravans really set people’s xenophobia off. The irony is that people didn’t get why they were forming these caravans; for safety when passing through Mexico.
Yes, prejudice against other nationalities is common. But of course not all nationalities are equally insulted.
I’d just say that when I was in University, everyone was very excited to befriend foreign students from Europe, but the Peruvians and Bolivians mostly hung out among themselves….
More educated Brazilians in general don’t hold the highest standards for racial literacy of Argentinians. In other words, we expect them to be more insensitive (in comparison to us) about racism. tl;dr we already expect them to be somewhat racist
I may be speaking more about my bubble / chronically online people / people who follow football than the average average Brazilian, but I also feel this is a somewhat shared sentiment
Stereotypes can exist up until you meet people from those countries
What??? Of course not we are the perfect country with no problems and we love all our Latino brother and sisters equally without bias or prejudice /s
In Costa Rica some people think Nicaraguans are a bit dumb, Dominicans dangerous and Venezuelans lazy.
yeah, right winger culture war shit has exacerbated the xenophobia levels to ridiculous degrees too
You won’t find a country in the world where people don’t hold prejudices against people from X nationality
Yes.
We are prejudiced against people and argentinians
/s
Of course not
I guess. I haven’t noticed, I just can say to you that in mexico, we like to antagonize each other depending on the state we were born
Edit: also, Mexican mother’s like to give free food and water to migrants passing by
Some people think bad of Argentineans but I don’t think this is something that get very serious. Many argentineans visit Brazil as tourists and some live in Brazil and there’s not any big problem. I like to think we are friendly nations overall. But I have the impression that Argentineans like Brazilians more than the opposite (which is unfortunate).
yes, Venezuelans aren’t well liked these days.
Yes, there is a lot of discrimination and prejudice towards Venezuelans here, and I mean a lot.
En el barrio de la Boca…
Argentinians are seeing in Brasil as racists
[removed]
At a macro level people have prejudice against Argentinians, but the average Brazilian is cordial af (almost hypocritical and fake sometimes). , so they will never show that prejudice. They will be nice with any foreigner for the most part.
That kind of prejudice only shows up when a disagreement happens. Aí a gente solta os cachorros.
Yes, Venezuelans are associated with poverty and asking for money on the streets(this one is relatively new, previously it was more positive), Colombians are associated with crime, Peruvians are associated with being annoying, and Argentinians are considered arrogant.
We probably have more, but these are the ones that come to mind, plus these are stereotypes and they’re wrong for like 80% of people.
In tourist areas of Mexico sometimes its “central americans/peruvian/ecuador? I thought you guys were poor””
Also outside niche of this sub most mexicans are going to atleast blink and think “huh? Surprising” if they meet a white Salvadorian or Nicaraguan.
Yes, some idiots with low self esteem have prejudice towards other countries in general
The stereotypes I know are that Peruvians are thieves (or that any thief must be peruvian), Venezuelans are criminals (at first it wasn’t that way but the next.waves of immigrants were not nice people and people began to hate them all), Argentinians are boastful or racists, and Chileans…well…they’re from Chile and we’re taught to hate Chile
Venezuelans get it the hardest feel bad for them
Mexicans too because there are so many in the US and people associate them with cartels/violence. I think Americans are just over exposed to them and in Europe they consume American media.
There is prejudice in our country against Argentines of other Provinces/States lol
No
There is the prejudice that Argentinians are racists and snobby. Of course it doesn’t apply to everyone, but a lot of people see them that way in Bolivia.
In latinoamerica? No way /s
Many Puerto Ricans dislike Cubans due to politics and some dislike Dominicans because of illegal immigration and crime.
I think so. For example, being Brazilian means people automatically assume you’re good at soccer, that you like parties, and that you’re always happy and cheerful. I also think that some other nationalities are seen as hardworking, others as more cold or distant, others as arrogant, and others as poor, etc.
Brazilians don’t like Argentinians
yeah, and i keep forgetting that i should stay away from country topics on the internet cuz its all xenophobia, sadly
Definitely.
