How do you, non american guys, feel about your country being represented in /co/ related media.
Being a mexican (who actually lives in M├йxico) I've classified them in 2:
1) The edgy ones that show M├йxico like a shit hole ( Early South Park, Drawn Together, Lil' Bush even had a song called "shit hole place") and
2) The cringey educative ones where they try to make martyrs out of inmigrants, while still repeating over and over that M├йxico is full of tradition and family values. Pic related. Another example of that would be the Cleveland Show episode about M├йxico, but I guess you guys didn't watch it.
>>76411229
Australian here. We're generally either ignored in most fictional media or used for comic relief, which is fine by me.
>>76411229
How do you feel about Speedy Gonzales?
As an Australian I'm pretty happy with how Australia gets characterized.
Of course Australians fucking love it when they get any sort of attention at all from someone besides Kiwi.
>everything is russia
pls die
Is Mexico NOT a shithole?
I'm genuinely curious here.
I mean, I assume it's no paradise if people are leaving it by the millions.
Mexican here. Everything you guys assume about mexico is fucking spot on.
>>76411229
Mexican living in the US here. Both aspects you mention are true, but in different spots and varying degrees. Many parts of Mexico are terrible, but many others are beautiful and sophisticated. These last tend to be virtual enclaves of the wealthy and those who serve them, or towns and cities in which criminals and government are in peaceful truce.
Not that any American who has visited Mexico would notice. Almost everyone I meet in the US who has visit Mexico tells me "is not like in the TV at all, is beautiful!" South Park and stuff like that are, as any cartoon would be, exaggerations of a small true.
Is Mexico safe, clean, beautiful? Of course it is! If you have money
>>76411229
Italian here
I'm happy when my fellow countrymen are potrayed in cartoons...shame that are almost always are used the same stereotypes of the Italians as a bunch of mustached and hairy guys obsessed with wine who use a lot of gestures.
I'm not offended by it,but I think that those stereotypes are 50 years old and there are other things that could be used for making fun of us..for example our corruption,racism and the self hate for our country
>>76411264
When I was a lil kid, I found about Speedy by his solo cartoons and used to believe it was a mexican made cartoon.
I liked him and never felt ofended by him or the fact that all of his cartoons seem to take place in the Tijuana desert.
I'll always wonder why they didn't give him a taco or tamale restaurant in the last reboot. I mean pizza's got nothing to do with Mr. Gonzales.
>>76411395
>our corruption,racism and the self hate for our country
I think that's just the universal human condition
>>76411404
Because a Mexican running a taco shop would be racist
>>76411292
It depends on where you go. There are some "A class" places on the main cities, but if you leave the "tourist friendly areas" you dead man.
>>76411473
Sounds like most American cities.
At least your country actually gets represented. Try living in an obscure shitty country like Belgium.
>>76411488
Not really
>>76411505
I'm sorry you are a pastry joke that gets confused with Germany.
At least you are west European, I don't think most Americans know what a Belarus or Turkmenistan is
>>76411439
But cartoons do it all the time with Italians and Chinese people.
>>76411395
>our corruption,racism and the self hate for our country
Welp. You just described my country. And i'm not even european.
Brazilian here.
Fuck Rio de Janeiro.
>>76411292
I was in TJ September. Some places look like LA, especially commerical areas, plastic surgery areas etc. While in that same city you can see some seedy areas that look like Afghanistan. I also went to Rosarito, kinda a nice upper middle class beach city about 30 mins from TJ, it was very nice and "beachy" nice restaurants, overall touristy, surfer beach vibe. nothing really dirty or seedy. Mexico is nice so long as you stick to touristy shit or commerical areas.
Most of the time it never bothers me it's always funny to see how we are viewed elsewhere, though UK тЙа London. Very much a tourist's expectations of London is always portrayed.
Also some stereotypes like the bad teeth and wearing a bowler hat are very outdated.
Yanks doing their take on the english accent can be cringey sometimes too
>>76411533
Everything east of germany is Russia, anon
>>76411533
Yeah we do, "shit Europe" is everywhere east of Germany and South of Poland on the map.Kidding! I love White Russia!
>>76411555
Italians are white, can't be racist against whitey.
And a non Chinese person running a Chinese shop would be cultural appropriation, so it wouldn't happen unless the owner is supposed to be a 'bad guy'.
Don't ask me why the double standards exist, that's just how it is.
Mexican (living in M├йxico) here:
I'm going as Donald Trump for halloween. Also, the most racist board isn't /pol/. It's actually /sp/ during the world cup. That's all.
>>76411583
British people having bad teeth is a stereotype that will last for all eternity.
>>76411439
Who else would run a taco shop, the Polish?
>>76411614
White in the same way Spaniards, Greeks and Turks are white.
>>76411229
>Brazil
>it's always Rio de Janeiro, samba, carnaval, favelas and football
>maybe the amazonian forest is shown
I don't mind it, it's what our country likes to show to the rest of the world anyway.
>>76411643
The only politically acceptable taco shops are ones run by mega corporations and meant to parody Taco Bell.
>>76411643
The funny thing is that, in the US, food services (ethnic or otherwise) is a business segment with a disproportionate high rate of latino workers (Mexican and others.) And I don't mean just dishwashers: that Italian restaurant you love to go? There is a 1 out 3 chance that the chef and/or owner are Mexican.
>>76411264
Most Mexicans actually like him. He was the anti-stereotype to the lazy Mexicans, like the other mice, was clever and fast, and outwitted the gringo Sylvester.
Only sensitive white people are butthurt about Speedy.
>>76411662
Brazil should show more orphans gettings shot by the police.
>>76411583
>Yanks doing their take on the english accent can be cringey sometimes too
You keep your actors from fucking up our accents, we'll stop ours from fucking up yours.
Canada. South Park is the only one that made me laugh and did it well. Other shows just do maple syrup and RCMP jokes.
>>76411395
>a bunch of mustached and hairy guys obsessed with wine who use a lot of gestures.
Yeah, not all Italians are actually that hairy. And you forgot the mafia.
>>76411624
Alot of /sp/ goes on /pol/ anyways
>>76411732
Canada is like the best place in the world, and Im not even Canadian. Can I go live there please? I promise to behave and learn to be kind like you all canuks
>>76411752
You only think it's the best because you're not Canadian.
Like a kid who thinks living in Disneyland would be great.
>>76411229
That episode was censored in latin-america due mexicans being butthurt.
In Archer the Mexican translation of the word Beaner is Sudaca and when Archer says "Beaners are mexicans" they translated it as south americans.
As a Spaniard i find your people pathetic. You literally erase jokes that can offend you.
>>76411752
Sure, head on up to Canada, just make sure you purge your devices before you reach the border.

>Is Nigeria/Irak/Haiti safe, clean, beautiful? Of course it is! If you have money
French here.
It's funny how US cartoons or comics don't know jack shit about our country. For us, Paris is a clean place full of mime's clothes wearing people. Paris is ugly and dirty as sin, and full of dirty brown people. Tghey are a step above to poo in designated shitting streets.
I live on the countryside, in the french rivera, at one step of Italy but the only thing people know about it is Monte Carlo.
Objectively one of the most beautiful places of the world, even if the recent floods had people killed.
>>76411577
Is your country really full of sexy trannies?
>Spain
I remember one episode of Ace Ventura where Spain was some kind of stereotypical Mexico and that's it.
Jamaican here
All they show is the beaches, resorts and the accents
Funnily I think the only /co/-related thing that accurately portrayed it wasLeast I Could Do
>>76411229
Argentina here. I normally laugh. It's a known fact that one of the The Simpsons' writer was married to an Argentinean so we get plenty of mentions there.
Although people don't usually use this country as plot or something important. Always a a temporal setting.
>>76411292
You have the maximum poor peeps living close to the border and then you have the city/wealthy peeps that live ok.
Most of south america has the "beautiful" contrast where you have first world and if you move 100 km in any direction you end up in africa.
>>76411784
It's not like that doesn't apply to first world countries too.
>>76411229
Mexican here. Not sure about the younger crowds, since I'm 30, but I grew up with stereotypes simply because Mexicans loved stereotyping themselves. Any soap opera or comedy show I watched as a kid always had a mexican who fit under a stereotype or the other. The Conzuela mom who was poor, but hard working and helpful, the drunk lazy mexican who was dirty, the evil Ranchero who was always greedy and or rapey.
By the time I came over to the US, seeing any stereotype tossed at my people was simply funny. Even as I grew up, I figured there's not point in getting upset at someone I'll never meet.
>>76411804
But is it true that the French consume nothing but bread, cheese, snails and wine?
>>76411229
Sometimes the name of my country gets mentioned or at least our capital. That's about it, nobody gives enough shit but it always elicits a 'huh' chuckle.
>>76411905
Yeah, but you forgot Frogs. Lots and lots of frogs.
>>76411505
B-But waffles
>>76411830
There are lots of them.
There are even more disgusting trannies
>>76411732
Canada here too. I'm sort of mixed on media portraying us as extremely polite. I mean, it's kind of true (If you accidentally bump into someone, you'll both say "soh-ry")*, but we can be huge assholes as well. It's just that we're really passive agressive about it.
*Is it true that in other places, people get mad and shout "Watch where you're going?" and if you get mad back at them, they'd be willing to start a fight because they're that upset about you bumping into them?
>>76411913
Netherlands?
>>76411943
No, Chile.
Netherlands is where Amsterdam is, right?
>>76411919
Is it also true that some of the French will refuse to talk to American tourists even if they themselves speak English?
>>76411905
Snails are the blandest food ever. They taste like nothing you need to add tons of herbs/spice/garlic to make them tasty
>>76411988
Most French people will actually speak English to tourists but Parisians on the other hand...
>>76411924
What would a week long tranny fuck tour run a man?
>>76411292
Live in Mexico. Can confirm its a shithole.
Can't complain
>>76412013
Why are Parisians so impolite?
>>76411229
I'm Peruvian. The last time I saw a mention to it made was in that Disney cartoon Brandy & Mr. Whiskers once as a throwaway gag.
Like I care. I hate this damned place.
Venezuelan here. We dont get too many mentions, the most prolific definetly being UP.
>>76411988
I live in the Riviera, mate. We are the one who speak english currently in France, cause we are surrounded by rosbifs here. But no offense taken, they pay a lot for it. English people are disgusting imo, but the girls are easy to fuck.
Americans are bros, most of the time. Was invited once by one in Jew York, enjoyed it a lot. Uneducated, but most of them are cool. They are not alone : a lot of my friends are arabs, germans, slovaks, italians...
Ononly people is the lowest of tiers: israeli people, and before all of you ask me to go back to /pol/, no, I don't speak about Jews.
>>76412042
Mixture of being French and living in the Capitol full of annoying Tourists and Immigrants.
Happens to most who live in a capital city , it's just Paris is so romanticized that people don't realize what it's actually like to live there and deal with reality and shit
>>76411867
My usual reaction to Argentina appearing in any form of international media is to scream "ARGENTINA" and start howling.
>>76411988
In my experience a great deal of the French are legit frightened of speaking English because they fear they'll look dumb with their accent and not knowing all the words and whatnot next to the native speaker, so they prefer to avoid the embarrassing situation by avoiding the conversation entirely.
Whereas if you open with some pathetically bad French first and beg them to speak english with your horrid mongrel French, their face is saved and they'll proceed to converse in English after going "I'm sorry for my English" (it's actually not bad)
>>76411229
>The edgy ones that show M├йxico like a shit hole
I fail to see how that's edgy.
>>76411929
I think Canadians just don't realize how mean the rest of the world is. Because your 'reluctant passive aggressive' help is still better than What you get most other places. Like the Canadian equivalent of attitude is absolutely nothing.
The worst thing about Canadians is that they base half their identity around being 'not american'
>>76412042
They are the most popular tourist destination in the world and are absolutely fed up with tourists and their bullshit such as blocking sidewalks and ruining historical Unesco heritage sites with their "romantic" love lock metallic waste crap etc
>Northern Ireland
I think there was like one episode of Captain planet which basically showed a wartorn shithole. It's a shithole, but it wasn't so bad that all the buildings were rubble.
That said, I can alternate between Irish and British identity when it suits me.
>>76411897
I get the feeling Mexicans got caught up in our white guilt over how we portray black people and the axis in some of those old cartoons.
>>76412082
What's wrong with the Israeli? This isn't the first time I hear that claim, so I'm curious
>>76412141
Ameraburger here who lived up there for a year.
Norn is beautiful and wonderful. The people are just fucking awful. Mainly the Unionists, imho, but that's just based on meeting people on the street, at festivals, in pubs, etc.
>>76412153
>What's wrong with the Israeli? This isn't the first time I hear that claim, so I'm curious
No experience with it first hand, but I imagine they're like reverse /pol/, except they can get away with acting like that an oppressed minority because "muh 6 bubillion".
>>76412115
Seems like a lot of foreign tourists I've met have the same fear of butchering their English. In my experience, most of the time they'll preface their sentence with an apology for their bad English, then proceed to speak near perfect English.
>live in Bermuda
>everyone thinks I live in magic haunted space ocean because ???????

>>76412139

Well in this case, I understand completely.
>>76412153
On the Cote D'azur, they are acting the same way than they act in Gaza, less the missiles.
>>76411292
It is a shithole compared to the USA, although it is among the Top 80 best countries in the world. Also, it is not like the guys who migrate to the USA would starve if they stuck in Mexico, but they would need to become doctors or engineers if they wanted to make as much as a janitor in the USA.
>>76412115
>they'll proceed to converse in English after going "I'm sorry for my English" (it's actually not bad)
this has been exactly my experience when travelling in europe (especially france). I'll know barely enough of thier language to say I cant speak it, while they appologize and then speak english nearly perfectly
>>76412195
I don't know, from what I've heard this is more of an American Jew thing.
Norway:
-Outside of Marvel deciding to go for Norway instead of its 2 neighbors and the remaining Runsepaking country, its not really represented
-DC? It sorta exists. They mostly seem to either go to some sky resort in Jotunheimen or Troms. Also large tourist lumber cabins.
-Immigration legacy? Its just there, as its suppose to be. You do spot the occasional Norse legacy name, like Harrald, Godvinson, but its just that
-And then there is Donald. Donald is very weird about Nationalities, where most of the point is that you are not suppose to be able to tell

I vacationed in Cali and got the exact same feeling. Americans are extremely nice but they are also ignorant as hell. Your average redneck speak pretty much in monosyllables.
That said they are fun people to hang out with as long as you don't trigger them.
>>76412198
>Bermuda
What happens there
>>76412220
>although it is among the Top 80 best countries in the world
It's all of EUROPE, a third of LatinAmerica, North America, Australia, NZ, a third of Asia and like 4 african countries, being in the top 80 means nothing when you are also in the top 25 of murders.
>>76412237
>DC? It sorta exists. They mostly seem to either go to some sky resort in Jotunheimen or Troms. Also large tourist lumber cabins.
You had a superhero in the JLI m8.

Yeah, but, heh, in France we have Batroc. I always had mixed feels with Batroc. A walking stereotype, but an awesome one.
>>76412353
So are all 3 islands beach tourist resorts, or just 1 of them? Curiosity.
>Ireland
There's a persistent myth about Leprechauns, but this is nonsense. The IRA hunted them to extinction in the 1950s.
>Jamaica
We only get two depictions - happy-go-lucky island folk, or something contemporary. In the '70s-'90s, it was "hotbed of drug-fueled violence". From then until now, it's been "hotbed of fundie-and-homophobia-fueled violence", even though most of the country's agonstic until they're threatened. And it can't ever be drugs AND homophobia, only one at a time. Lotta rules for that particular stereotype.
Meanwhile, my dad's birthplace, Antigua, flies completely under the radar, even though it's 90% the same.
>Finland
Last time I saw us shown in anything was Gundam Build Fighters but that's /a/.
...shit I can't think of any /co/ related finland depiction outside Don Rosa comics and one South Park joke.
>>76411229
>Finland
>tfw no representation anywhere ever
As somebody who is Russian, I always use the mass-media's depiction of Russia as a counterpoint to people whining about negative portrayal of <insert race/ethnicity/nationality> in the media.
Russians are portrayed in two ways. Either they're a violent villain, or they're a violent and dumb soldier.
The number of positive examples can literally be counted on one hand.
>>76412685

For starters it's just one 'mainland' island. The 'triangle' refers to an imaginary space between here, the States and Puerto Rico. And we're more tax haven than your typical tourist trap, but it all looks beachy with palm trees and blue skies and all that.

Japanese generally have homely teeth. I think they should be the new teeth stereotype.
>>76412947
thats actually hilarious, i almost hope that was a sarcastic quip from a news anchor but they were probably told to say that.
most depictions of russians in american media have been somewhat positive compared to our more hurtful slanders.
you are shown as being strong and can lift trees with one hand, tenacious when it comes to fighting, and drunks.
speaking of russia... hows that ww3 plan putin is working on going. your governments pretty pissed at the united states for how we handled the middle east, heard talk of russia and china making a strong alliance and plan to demand every penny of debt the U.S. has be paid instantly or they are going to leave the U.N. and make their own big bad government collective with black jack and hookers
>>76411422
You need to see the level of sophistication and history that corruption takes in Italy, South American countries, Central and Eastern Europe and... the rest of the world as you've said. But Italy and Sicily have a lot going on with the mafia and that huge coverage that occurred when a lot of them got rounded up for those trials to be taken place. It's well worth looking into. Italian stereotypes in media are laughably outdated.

a better question about Japanese. why are the womens bushes never trimmed, i can understand an aversion to clean shaven but damn it looks like a pair of fur panties.
french women get that stereotype all the time but the Japanese have perfected it.
Germany.
The only thing I don't understand is why in American portrayal we can't or don't talk about Hitler and Nazis. Every moment of the day, every day, all year long you can find a channel that broadcasts a documentary about Hitler/Nazi-Germany. Not to mention the badly made tv shows. Every student learns about fascism in at least three subjects at school. We visited the Dachau concentration camp in ninth grade.

>>76413201
iirc women who shave are those who plan to show it off to men, which makes them sluts
The UK according to foreign media, I think you can count the number of non-LONDON characters on one hand.
And usually we're depicted as either villains or posh, but usually both. And anyone who's not posh is apparently a chav thug.
>>76411610
>Yeah we do, "shit Europe" is everywhere east of Germany and South of Poland on the map.
Don't lie Anon. It's everything past Germany and Austria that's a strange and foreign place with ongoing power struggles after the fall of the USSR. Poland is the Mexico of Europe. They go off to the UK and France as nannies, nurses, plumbers, etc.
All the Poles (and Russians) I know have an incredible work ethic. The Eastern ones are most likely to be Slavs while the western ones are the most likely to be ethnically Austrian, Prussian or Bavarian, so you never know what to expect. So it's hard to tell if you're looking at an oddly dressed Swede or even a Canadian. Never trust a Pole or a Russian.
>>76413201
i think its a censorship thing, porn actresses grow out their bush to the point you can't make out the vagina and then they dont need to be mosaic'd
>>76411439
Mexican here, not really
>>76413201
Two main reasons
1) It's their culture, I dont know why anyone would like it but I'm not a jap. Also some consider it dishonorabru, yeah they're weird
2) Porn is censored so in some cases a bush serves as kind of a loophole where pussy aint visible so no shitty mosaic

>tfw you're from Liechtenstein
Nobody even knows we exist.
Closest thing to Liechtenstein would be Switzerland. But it never gets represented in cartoons either.
Characters that are written as german people often get switched to being swiss in the german dub. Uter is one of those... But that does not really count.

We make all of these fucking cartoons, and we don't appear in any. Maybe thats for the better.

As a Chilean, I'm already used to no one remembering my country exists, or at most making a passing mention that, if it includes any kind of detail that isn't Pinochet, it'll probably be wrong.

I know a guy who's Indian but grew up wealthy in Kenya.
He said he couldn't drive with the windows down because wherever they went they'd have poorer Africans pressed against the car begging for money.

You mean that Korea is different IRL than in Aachi and Sipak?

Chile is oneof the 2 not shitholes latino countries, is better to be irrelevant than terrible.

Oh, that. That's just a lazy joke, portraying Germans as sore losers. There's a little bit of projection in there, too, since it assumes Germans would treat their loss in WWII the same way Americans treat their losses in stuff like the Korean War (which is even called "The Forgotten War).

Besides the few nice places where the rich people live mexico IS a shithole
There was that one South Park episode that mentioned us.

I think that's it.
It had it pretty right, we are basically irrelevant in terms of general popular awareness outside of Scandinavia, though it isn't all that cold here at all, so it got that wrong.

That's a noble enough goal, though you'd think that not carrying a gun and a couple of burgers everywhere should be enough clue.
>>76411929
Eh, I would say the vast majority of the time people just say sorry and move on.
>>76413337
Well, it's the only one where Canada exists consistently. All the other ones treat it like it's Brigadoon - it only appears every 100th joke, and then disappears forever.
>>76413606

I mean "disappears until the next 100". God, I need to drink less, or maybe more.
>>76413593
hehe. But i hear in certain parts of Canada you have hick types waving Rebel flags and shit, that true?

Man Argentina has been constantly bumfucked for decades now. I'd put Peru up there with Chile and Brazil, given it's rapid growth (apparently it's overtaking Chile in both development and economy). Argentina hasnt been relevant in a long time.

>>76411229
As a Colombian I couldn't care less about underrepresentation but it irks me when they picture Bogota as a city in the middle of the jungle where everyone has a mustache and everybody wears polo shirts and shorts. We're 1600 miles above sea level, for fucks sake. It's freezing in here.
>canadians show up in american TV show or cartoon
>carry around hockey sticks and talk with a newfie accent while saying "eh" all the time
I love the Canadian stereotypes when anything features Canada.
>>76413726
I think the key word there is
>study
Students are almost always self-righteous idiots. As a Britbong who's spent a lot of time in Canada, Canadians generally seem chill as fuck and more openly friendly with strangers than when I've been to the States.

I don't think I ever want to go to Mexico. I imagine it being like, two resort cities on the east where everyone goes to Spring Break, and then everything else is a vast desert where roving gangs of druglords kidnap you and cut your face off.
>>76411229
This doesn't really count, but I love seeing all the ridiculous Texas stereotypes.
Even American media portays them all as gun happy cowboys or oil barons, crazy christ fundies, and football is the life blood of the people.
And it really isn't all that far off.
>>76411229
Are you suggesting that Mexico is NOT, in fact, a complete shit hole?
Does the rampant poverty, corruption, and cartel violence not qualify it as a shit hole?

I'm alright if the country is represented for satirical purposes, I dislike when they use the country to ingrain their own political views unto audience and all.
South Park is damn near great at doing that, they have the right balance of being satricial and not to overtly political.
The Simpsons golden age was the same as South Park too, until later seasons where it felt too forcible in what they wanted to convey.

I went to mexico on a roadtrip type of thing, it was pretty awesome aside from the absolutely horrible traffic. If you go, don't try to drive. But it was pretty cool. We did get warned by some nice mexican people to watch out during the nights, but had no trouble. Saw an awesome pyramid and shit and all the food was delicious
>>76414032
>beat out Russians for the role of incompetent villains in latest mission impossible
SPOILERS!
>>76411229
Russian here, pretty much speaking for slavic people because americans dont know the difference.
Just like alot of other countries i feel like the stereotypes are overused or just plain old, its always something about communism and bears, or the soviet union.
It doesnt bother me too much, because i think jokes should always be taken lightly.
I just wish they would update their jokes, cause theres much funnier and more relevent russian stereotypes you could make fun of now in the past 20 years since the ussr collapsed

In my opinion, the recent slav stereotype is the "squatting slav in adidas tracksuit" one. I find it funny as fuck, what do you think of it?
I think the only representation of Austria I ever see anywhere is Schwarzenegger. That's it.

Kek, underrated post
I've never seen a comic nor a cartoon ever mention Serbia in any capacity. Positive, negative, offhand, or in passing. It just never seems to happen. I see a lot of reference to Australia, and for the most part they're mild and sort of amusing.

When I was in Canada I was a Canadian for Halloween, and I looked pretty much exactly like this plus I tied a Tim Horton's bag to my hockey stick and wore the Olympic mittens.
Almost an exact 50/50 kek/rage reaction.
>>76413260
Yeah, but tell that to the sjws
>>76411752
I think it's cute so many people honk this, but if he Tories win in the federal election coming up this month were going to have Russia levels of corruption and cronyism and a whole shit ton of personal freedoms crushed. Not to mention the spiralling job market caused by pointless austerity and crumbling infrastructure.
There's also the matter of mass data burning by the governement and the lack of a long form census, so there's entire towns that are off the maps and the government has no means to supply them with education or health care because they're statistical black holes, and this conveniently happens in ridings where the current Feds don't get support.
But I love south parks depictions of us. I just wish someone would do something that brings awareness to how bad the situation is getting in Canada so the nor miss here would actually get off their asses and vote.
>>76414263

>>76413995
Yeah, this.
Peruvian here. This one >>76412067 here. The high of Peruvian economy getting better worn off; the bubble burst. The economy is decelerating and everybody knows it; analysts, politicians, businessmen, the media. The dollar is on the rise again because no one is buying Peru's stuff as much as before anymore.
Not that it matters because all the money goes to the people who already had lots of it - politicians, big businessmen, etc. - and spend it on their own private benefit such as more estates, more figurehead businesses, more paying their accomplices and front men, and partying. Criminals are always partying and drinking and snorting coke and living a high life. And in rural areas it's obviously worse, because there's the drug cartels and illegal miners and illegal everything.
The whole country is a mess from top to bottom. And yet it's nothing anybody in their place wouldn't do, and it's only going to get worse because, really, why would it get better? The people that benefit of the current affairs have it quite well.
TL;DR - if you have the chance of coming to Peru, don't. It's horrible here and getting worse. Go to Chile instead.
>>76413882
You just take the same precautions you'd take just about every other tourist destination. Watch your belongings, don't accept help from total strangers, don't walk late at night in the streets, distinguish the safe locations from the dangerous ones and have a plan should anything happen to your passport.
>>76414211

When people move without their families is because the inflation is higher. Earning minimum wage you can send some money home and it will be worth much more than it does in the USA. Is easier than trying to sustain a family earning minimum wage in your own country.
When they move with their families is because the life standard is higher, they have better possibilities of becoming successful in life and the USA is somewhat romanticized in some parts of South America.

When it's a British character it's normally fine but anything to do with Britain itself - more specifically England - isn't even accurate.
We're always stuck in Victorian times or made out of nothing but London.
The worst though was a Fairly Odd Parents episode I saw as a kid where America never got independence. It was the only time I've ever actually been offended by a cartoon.

Squatting is the astonishingly ergonomic stance to which slavs have exclusive rights of practice. It is a millennia old tradition forged and refined by years of genetic evolution, mostly regarding ones knees. When properly executed, it improves overall well-being, cleanses the soul, and cultivates a healthy lifestyle. On top of it all, it is the most fashionable trend of 2015 тАУ in short, SlavSquat. Everyone has their own slav squat, and it can be practiced accordingly to one's beliefs and devotions without restriction. Slavs are notoriously tolerant of both religion and race (they have other things to dislike you relentlessly for), so feel free to perfect your own slavsquat, regardless of your origins!

Mexicans are over nationalistic, they may shit on their country among mexicans, but they get offended when a gringo does it. They do delude themselves about the importance or safety of their country, but in general they know is a shithole, is just that if you talk shit about mexico in front of Gringos you are a traitor.
>>76413995
Development = Social
Venezuela has a population more educated than the brazillian, colombian or mexican one. Greece economy can go to shit but will still be better than china. Almost every country in latinamerica is at least one decade away from the development of Argentina.
I'd love to visit Mexico some day. It's the only country in North America with actual proper history. Only thing we got in the states is some old churches and forts the Spanish built.
As for mexicans, I'd rather have the immigrants than the fatass racist whites who bitch about them. If we're going to deport anybody, it ought to be them. Country would be better for it.
