Chatty South Americans

SolarFlash

Nice people but my God do they ever shut up. I thought us Irish were bad but they are ten times worse. Why is this I wonder?

In before the "racist much?" question

Do racists ever shut up being racist?

SolarFlash

it's not racist to notice a cultural aspect of people. Besides South Americans are a multi-ethnic people racially. They come in all colours but they all seem to share this trait.

Your OP is very specific OP.

Could you make it a bit more generalistic?

Gorilla Rising

Yep, all 400 million of them. Chatterboxes!

Great bunch of lads.

Alot of Irish emigrated to that part of the world in the 1800s just as they did to North America & Canada.
Heck some of the great Military men like O'Higgins in Chile or the lad who founded the Navy in Argentina were Irish.
I bet if you dug deep enough you would find Messi has Irish roots, although he is very quiet and you wouldn't get a squeak out of him.

I've seen the same thing in Spanish people as-well, maybe it's something to do with the Spanish language?

Brazilians tend to touch you a lot.

My other half is Columbian, during a long bus journey we watched a Columbian made film about a 'European'* coming to Central America and being taught about love by a young Columbian woman who hardly ever wore a shirt of any kind. She had to start with the basics because people in Europe are all far to busy for any kind of personal interaction. Everyone on the bus was silent during the film and cheered at the end. From this I was able to deduce that all Columbian women are usually bare breasted, willing to teach European men the art of love and that South American cinema has very low production values. I hardly saw the need to get off the bus, as I obviously had an excellent grasp of the whole continent by the end of the film.

*Non specific, all Europeans are exactly the same, German, Irish, French you couldn't put a sheet of paper between them...

I think that's because Latin American society is pretty homogenous compared to Europe, but the one commonality they see with us is that we are 'cold'. Even Irish people (but maybe not Mediterranean populations).

It's quite different elsewhere. I'm in a relationship with a South African, and I have to say their prejudices are very finely tuned. The ones I've met know exactly why they don't like specific Europeans. It's almost like they've spent a lot of time thinking about it....

If the other half is indeed Colombian, then perhaps perhaps you should go look at a world map and see that see is in fact from Colombia and is Colombian.

After all, how would you like her constantly going around saying she is with an Irush man from Iruland...

just saying!

I got all excited thinking of an exotic location that has the euro. It appears its not cheap as cheap there as I thought.

But then again, I know nothing about the place.

Yep, I too have noticed that Brazilians, Ecuadorians, Peruvians, Venezuelans, Guyana's - especially French Guiana's, Surinamese, Bolivians, Paraguayans, Uruguayans, Argentinians, and Chileans all share that exact same cultural aspect of talking endlessly and ignorantly. Credit to being able to spot an Ecuadorian VS a Peruvian. I would have been hard-pressed myself.
