Italo-American

Latin America is a country very diverse culturally because the Europe colonization and  migration attracted many persons.

In Chile generally  we discriminate to people of the other countrys. In especial to the peruvians. The chileans says that the periuvians are dirty and ugly. Mi elder sister has a boyfriend peruvian called Miguel, he live in Perú and travel all the year to vist my sister.  He is kind and  handsome. The only different is the food (with more season) and he has a Caribbean accent.

A prejudice present in Chile is that the Argentines are more handsome and charming. I think that is true because when I was in Mendoza the men had a strong personality and were not shy.

Other example of sterotypes are the Italo-American that the program  MTV “Jersy Shore” shows in the television. The italian colony in Chile is a big. The grandfather of my boyfriend Pedro is Italian. He arrived to Chile in 1950 approximately. He escaped of the second war world and arrived to Quinta Normal where he formed a family. They are friendly, extrovert and handsome but they are big mouths. Their  food is delicious (noodle, rabioles, lasagna, cake and dessert) and they like to wear with clothes elegant.
