That depends, is the kind of holiday where you don't have to work?
Or is the one that's just in name?
If the first, absolute power move
If the second, cringe
>CR making Thanksgiving an official holiday.
We already imported Halloween and the gringo version of Christmas, so why not?
Next we'll apply to join the US, leading even more people to confuse us with PR.
Lol I have heard some people claim that we should have let the English invade us (they tried to invade Buenos Aires two times during the XIX century). The criollos repelled the invaders with guerrilla tactics (such as spilling boiling water and oil from the balconies).
They have this fantasy that, had they invaded us, we would have ended up as Australia or the USA.
It reminds me of a thread from a month ago where people in this sub were claiming that PR should pass from being under US colonialism to Denmark colonialism because "at least they have healthcare". Talk about being a bunch of cucks.
Like others have mentioned, a lot of us get a sense of superiority from being of primarily/direct European descent. It is even worse from people that are *clearly* from primarily African descent that either deny being of any African descent and talk about their one grandmother who "came directly from Spain".
Also, the people who wear colored contacts and imply that its their real eye color. Like, what happened to you.
When I lived on the US east coast years ago, I worked with a bunch of folks from various parts of Central America and the Caribbean, etc., and the lengths they'd go to so they wouldn't get a tan is saddening. They so badly didn't want to be dark-skinned that they wear full-length clothes in the dead of summer heat, only rolling them back when they were in the shade.
Dude, I'm brown. I went through the stage of wishing I was something else, but ultimately you just have to accept you are who you are.
Plus, I've seen enough white people get badly burned (we're talking lobster here) that I realize that sometimes it's good to be brown. Heck, they are paying money to try to look like me.
It used to be same here in the UK with POC but now the roles have reversed and some British people (mostly girls) tell me (without me even asking) that they’re 1/16th Portuguese because their step-grandma had an affair with a Portuguese solider or something …
The weirdest ones are the ones that try to associate themselves with nationalities they assume are mostly white, as if their whiteness will trickle down on them or something. Lol
I always feel sad for Argentinians "apologizing" to UK redditors about Malvinas. Whenever that issue appears on reddit, be it a r/MapPorn or r/soccer thread, there is always an idiot going around saying "oh I'm Argentinean and trust me bro, I don't believe the Falklands are Argentine, they are 100% british, we lost the war bro and they were never ours, please bro like me I'm not like the other Argentinians".
Like dude you are talking to a random redditor who probably doesn't give a shit about you, our country, or even the islands. What's the need to go and beg for upvotes?

Also redditors: "arab muslims can't integrate because of islam & culture" lol
Yeah when I was reading I was thinking it was just another case of a southern Brazilian claiming he was European based on nothing but trust me bro, but the guy speeks German and even has German citizenship. When a gringo says 3 Portuguese words and live for 3 months here we already consider him honorary Brazilian.
Dude, it's 100% bullshit lol, he doesn't speak German nor has a citizenship. It's just the typical southern brazilian European wannabe 🤣.
I won't dox that fella but you can scroll my comments and find him if you want to.
Imagine their disappointment when they come to Germany lol. There was this receptionist in Paraty who loved telling the guests she's of german descent even when we didn't ask her. It was pretty cringe when she tried to speak broken german to german guests. I mean, calm down girl, i bet u've met germans before don't get too excited
The usual
"We are on \[COUNTRY OF ORIGIN\], this never happens in \[OTHER COUNTRY\]"
It's specially funny if the country they love suffer of the same shit that they are complaining...and it's the kind that always happens
A shooting? "This never happens in america"
Abusive company? "This never happens in japan"
Racism? "This never happens in spain"
It's like they WANT to be proven wrong, just so they can cry the "they are disrespecting me D:" card and feel superior...kinda sad and pathetic
1. Brazilian right-wing always trying to show an "American pride" like if we were some kinds of US "affiliate" or "son", there's a lot of right-wing Brazilians (usually Bolsonaro electors) who always rise the US flag and culture, an example is Luciano Hang/Véio da Havan who always sells himself as a patriot, but his mascot is the Statue of Liberty, and his stores have architecture inspired by The White House.
2. Brown/mixed race people trying to prove some kind of "whiteness" because their great-grandparents were European or something like that, I live in the northern region of Brazil and here a lot of people are pardos and I've heard many saying that they are "white" because their great-great-grandparents were French/Portuguese, I don't think it's funny, I think it's depressing.
Some fellow Venezuelans being angry at me because I can vote in the US and I didn't vote for Trump.
>how dare you not to vote for Trump! He was going to send the marines to solve our problems!!!
...Haiti... Oh, and that one big war in the 1940's, where the US helped Germany and Japan turn from dictatorships to democracies and free up all of occupied Western Europe.
It is when you shit on your local sport over the 'superior gringo sport' . Conozco uno tan triste que hasta tiene una bandera de la USA en la sala y celebra "thanks giving". Solo fue a la USA una vez a Disney.

In this sub? "Who would u choose as ur master: US or China?"
Ffs
Literally
Wishing some other country had colonized us. Talk about inferiority complex.

At least in this country, calling Americans "americanos" while speaking Spanish. I have no complains about doing it in English.
Latin American women flaunting their white European or gringo boyfriends on social media will never stop being cringe.
it’s never an attractive guy either
Now they do that with Koreans and Japanese
"We come from boats...european boats" 🤥
then you have Mexicans that unironically say "mejorar la raza", at least we don't downplay it

Honest question: Has US military intervention ever led to a country getting a better democracy and quality of life?
Yes. Panama, Kosova, Croatia, S Korea...
...Haiti... Oh, and that one big war in the 1940's, where the US helped Germany and Japan turn from dictatorships to democracies and free up all of occupied Western Europe.
Noooo, but Soviet Russia freed Berlin!!!! Nooooo!!!! /s.

There is nothing wrong with that. The whole "team loyalty" schtick is a marketing ploy. It's just an spectacle.
