Ngl I assumed “latin america” was just a synonym for “south america” before I looked it up just now.
So… I know I might be wrong but my mental image is just: spanish speaking + developing countries, and a vibe like the portrayal of Mexico in the media
I mean when you don’t have much info, the only thing thats sticks in your mind is just mass media depictions, and honestly I don’t know too much about them.
As of the people? Please excuse me for the streotyping but the “Machismo” thing comes to mind… again its probably because the media portrayals that got stuck in my mind.
I don’t view people as any better or worse, I as an immigrant and minority have faced racism and xenophobia, and having grown up in an environment of diversity and multiculturalism, I’ve learned to be more accepting.
