what? if you already changed the character from brasilian to colombian, why didn't you just change her to spanish in the first place?

and who doesn't know that brasilians speak portugese? tf?

[er1s]

I hate it here, jaja

[lovelyluna34]

Me fui de los EEUU para vivir acá y nunca mas ni en pedo vuelvo a vivir allá. Igual soy argentina también

[er1s]

¿Por qué no te gustó USA?

[lovelyluna34]

Nací y viví allá hasta los 19 año, el país es una mierda siempre lo fue. Si el dólar es estable y podes tener COSAS más baratas pero eso no es vida y estás con deudas hasta que te morita y tus deudas no mueren con vos se pasan a tus hijos. No tenes educación gratuita después de la secundaria, no tenes hospitales públicos, y si estás viendo lo que está pasando ahora ya es suficiente. Se que acá hay muchas cosas malas pero allá también. Desde acá todo se ve color de rosa pero te prometo que no lo es

Mis primos viven en USA hace varias décadas, aunque nacieron acá. Creo que no se les pasaría por la cabeza volverse. El shock cultural sería muy grande.

No sé si me gustaría ir a Estados Unidos, conseguir la Visa de trabajo parece imposible, pero sí me gustaría ir a Europa.
Ahora acá están todos averiguando cómo sacar la ciudadanía italiana para irse. Puede ser que seas la única que quede en el país a fin de año, ja!

Volver es re difícil me costo añoooooos estar contenta acá. Y re entiendo la gente que se quiere ir. Yo estoy acá porque mis papas querían volver y yo soy hija única y ni loca me iba a quedar sola allá. Pero bueno lleva tiempo y ahora después de 15 años estoy feliz pero se lo duro que es este país

they had Lupita (black), Fan Bingbing (asian) and Penelope Cruz (latina)

they then belatedly found out a Spanish actress is just an white European actress but at this point they HAD TO HAVE their Latino diversity so that's probably why they ended up making her Colombian lol. with this bullshit excuse they probably thought was really smart.

Lol the Brazilian girl I work with told me she perfected a lot of her Spanish from people just assuming she speaks it

[latexana]

americans are so fucking stupid

[juanito1588]

this makes me think about how many people think Argentina is in Europe. Da fuckkk.

[er1s]

we wish... the flight costs would be so cheap (cries into her devaluated pesos)

[latexana]

to be fair, argentinians think argentina is in europe

Literally only people who refuse to look outside their bubble don't know this. As far back as elementary school I knew Brazilians spoke Portuguese. It was literally apart of the geography lessons we were taught as like third graders. Personally, I think a lot of adults like to play dumb because they think it's cute/funny to be idiots and play into the stereotypes so they willfully forget or pretend they don't know

I think you and I have to be the exceptions. I took home my geography and history books to read for fun. Places outside the US just seemed interesting. But my sisters...they didn’t learn Brazilians spoke Portuguese until much later than I did.
