Those 3 countries are like Japan, Korea and China to Asia. Foreigners will be able to name at least something from these 3 countries in particular while having almost no knowledge from the rest. And I personally think this is a shame because the other countries are all very interesting and diverse and they deserve to be more represented in media.
I guess outsiders think about Latam in the way we think of Europe or Asia. There are big, medium and small nations over there just as we have here. The big nations might get a bit more attention but everyone has their place in the sun. Especially in Latam because everyone is so similar.
Imagine you had a huge continental mass made up of 30 Anglo countries all together, next to each other, it’s surreal, that’s how latam feels sometimes lmao
Living among Americans as an adult taught me that they think Mexican culture is all there is. I get they’re the vast majority of Hispanics in the US but the concept of different countries having different cultures should not be that hard to grasp.
Those three countries alone account for almost 60% of the entire latin American population so it makes sense they get all the attention. Id argue Colombia gets a lot of love too.
I think all LA nations are wonderful in their own right though
LatAm is unimportant for the rest of the world. It’s kind of like South East Asia, just poor countries with some hotspots for tourism.
Most people don’t really have any idea of what the culture or history of the individual countries.

Well, those are the biggest nations here.

Personally I wish they could focus less on Perú tbh. Specially Europeans…
no one thinks about us outside of football lmao what
Yes but we dont care. We dont need attention. Thats more of a first world kind of problem.
I don’t care about foreigners or what they use to form their image of Latin America. I like people not knowing anything about my country.
well that’s normal for every continent, nobody thinks of slovenia when they think of europe or buthan when they think of asia
Lmao who does that? As far as I know we’re the Messi Maradona Mexicans
Mexicans have a lot of culture and aesthetics it’s hard to overshadow them

And Colombia
the average anglo saxon american thinks brasilians speak spanish so i doubt they know anything about argentina
Well the 3 countries account for 60% of the population and 65% of the area of Latin America
I don’t. In fact I don’t care. To be brutally honest, the less they know about us the better.
I just don’t think or care about what others think
