you don’t experience poverty as we do, you don’t experience the lack of jobs. people have to work more than 8 hours (the maximum imposed by the law) to buy the minimum food.
a lot of people have lost their jobs bc companies are in bankrupt +

jobs don’t even pay well, most of the people have more than 2 jobs (mostly working at unregistered jobs / illegally) +

people from venezuela, peru, bolivia and more are moving illegally to argentina/uruguay/chile and others bc their countries are even more poor (than the ones that they are moving to) and under a dictatorship.
+

i don’t wanna get into details obviously but i wanna clarify that being “poor” countries doesn’t mean that we are all poor bc it’s not how it works

also: couple of countries are economically/ technologically late (for ex. cuba) search for information about that!!!

there’s more things i haven’t explained here bc it’s very very long, but PLEASE study our history but not from your books. check on google, talk to us, and LISTEN when we try to educate you

i wanna clarify that being latino isn’t being poor, and i even explained it above. so please read carefully

hi pls read: don’t misunderstand this part bc i know a lot of them kids suffer from xenophobia for having latinos in their families. im talking about white privileged people that think they are latinos only for having a latina mom or grandma etc ignoring real latam’s conditions

also!!! white skin people from latam ARE LATINOS. hehe

and, lauren jauregui girl, you are not latina

not people from spain claiming they’re latinos when latin america was exploded, colonized and our culture has been taken away by them shut up

soy latina btw (im from argentina) that’s why i’m that mad at this point. you don’t even listen to us

españoles, nosotros somos latinos xq es una cultura. ustedes se quieren llamar latinos xq hablan español (es una lengua derivada del latin) pero no influye en la cultura latina. somos latinoamerica x cultura y no x lengua, sino ustedes serian de latinoeuropa solo x hablar español

promise this is the last thing i’m adding: thank you for the people that are opening your minds over this and educating yourselves
if you still don’t understand what being latino means: you are part of the problem

ITS NOT THAT HARD MAN. IF A LATINO FEELS UNCONFORTABLE AND MAD WITH U USING OUR CULTURE AS A TAG THEN DONT DO IT. the same as when a black person tells you as a white person u shouldn’t use their braids THEN DONT DO IT!

hey guys don’t get me wrong. I KNOW peru isn’t under a dictatorship, it was just an example of why people move from their country (ex: venezuela) im sorry i didn’t clarify this before:(
