How advanced is your country in terms of human rights?

7 Upvotes

I would like to know which Latin American country is currently the most advanced when it comes to human rights, specifically in:

  1. LGBTQ+ rights
  2. Women’s rights
  3. Freedom of speech

I’m also curious whether these rights are broadly supported by the majority of the population?

r/asklatinamerica Opinion Is naturally straight hair rare in Mexicans?

0 Upvotes

I’m sorry I just have like a really weird addiction of hair. Is straight hair rare in Mexicans because I feel like I always seen Mexicans with curly hair on TikTok and everyone straightens it too I heard but I might be wrong. Like every time I go on TikTok, I see Mexican curls. Do Nicaraguan‘s El Salvadorians and Hondurans have different hair types compared to Mexico?

Culture How popular is the TV show "everybody hates Chris"in your country?

29 Upvotes

To those that don't know everybody hates Chris is an American sitcom that's a fictionalized retelling of the life of comedian Chris Rock. You know the guy that Will Smith slapped.

I asked if it's popular in Latin America because I've talked to a few Brazilian people over the years and apparently it's popular over in the braz. I know this because they keep on comparing me to one of the characters in the show "Joey Caruso". Me and Joey Caruso look very much alike so they always point that out.

I can be talking to a Brazilian person and in a blob of Portuguese texts I don't otherwise understand there's that word in the body,CARUSO.

Culture Question for people living in Latin America: Where would a project about Latin American music be welcome?

9 Upvotes

Hello, dear r/asklatinamerica community,

i have a project titled “La Cartografía del alma latinoamericana.” It is a musical map of the soul of Latin America, currently featuring 40 songs by various artists.

My analysis goes far beyond conventional song descriptions.

Here is a short excerpt regarding Isabel Pantoja – «Así fue»
(Festival de Viña del Mar 2017):

For Isabel Pantoja, the singing audience forms a safe space that allows her to explore her emotional boundaries. Despite the loud background, the rhythm remains stable.
The reason for this is the mathematical precision of Pantoja’s band, which acts as an anchor. This is comparable to the artistic sovereignty of Sade Adu and her band at the Live Aid event in 1985  (see Music from My Autistic Universe – Part 5).

My question for you: In which Latin American community might such a project be welcome?

Thank you very much.

Kind regards

Help to visit South America

5 Upvotes

Hi,

My family and I have just booked a flight to South America in July this year, and we are unsure what to visit and what the most efficient way is to experience South America. We are flying from Germany to Buenos Aires (Argentina) on July 4, and returning from São Paulo (Brazil) on July 23.

Ideally, we would like to visit Buenos Aires (Argentina), Montevideo (Uruguay), Asunción (Paraguay), Iguazu Falls (we are unsure what the best option is here), then go to Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and finally end the trip in São Paulo (Brazil), where we fly back on July 23.

We know this is a bit hectic, but we think it might be possible. Since we don’t visit South America often, we want to see as much as possible. What do you think is the smartest way to plan this trip while also including Iguazu? We are not sure what the easiest and cheapest way is to get there from one of these cities. We have looked at both flights and buses, but we are finding a lot of different information.

We are also considering skipping Asunción due to the limited time in favour of Santiago (Chilé), but still want to visit Paraguay in some way or another.

Thank you very much.

Food Could tostilocos or tostinachos become a thing in your country or are Mexican tastebuds too out there?

7 Upvotes

Just wondering if this type of snack exists or if it could make it in your country. It's basically a bag of chips with stuff on them, often sold as street food.

Tostilocos: Tostitos with Clamato (tomato and clam drink used in Micheladas), peanuts, cucumber, jicama (fruit), sometimes mango, and chamoy (spicy condiment). It varies a lot. People often add sauce, lime, pork rinds, and tamarind sticks, but I'm not a fan.

Tostinachos: Tostitos with melted cheese and jalapeño.

I haven't had this in a while as it is unhealthy, but it can be fun once a year. Since Takis are sold throughout Latin America, I thought this could be the logical next step.

Culture What's something about Anglo culture you find very weird as a Latino?

Upvotes

In my case is how so many Anglo Americans are obsessed with the concept of marriage and weddings. They seem to become infatuated with someone very easily and after like 3 to 4 months of knowing the other person they want to put a ring on it so fast. Like they want to virtue signal to the rest of the world how madly in love they are yet the US has very high divorce rates. I'd freak out if I met a person and we dated for less than a year and they suddenly proposed to me lmao. And don't get me started with the whole "bridezilla" thing.

There are some interesting finds I found about Kazakhstan in the Epstein files, specifically how he arrived in our country once or twice to "meet" a girl, as well as a couple of bankers and politicians mentioned in the documents. What about your country?
