When I tell people im from Colombia. "Colombia" is magically my new nickname😂
Four things that get me mad are when people:
1)Spell *Colombia* like *Columbia*
2) *Just because Im Hispanic* *doesn't mean I'm Mexican*
3) *JUST BECAUSE IM FROM* *COLOMBIA DOESN'T MEAN IM* *RELATED TO PABLO ESCOBAR*
4)People thinking Colombia isn't safe just because of what they see on T.V
Im Colombian and i have seen colombians calling many east Asian chinos just because of their looks NOT ALL EAST ASIANS ARE CHINOS.
Yeah colombia is the safest place on earth. Lol .
DaCoLo “Chino” is actually a word originating from chibcha language to refer to “boy” in Colombia. This is a common misconception from our country
DaCoLo He’s not saying it’s the safest place on Earth. He’s just saying that not all of Colombia is unsafe.
@@dacolo5074 do not worry is just colombian slang
I hate when people just assume we're all narcos, that just pisses me off so much #ColombianaOrgullosa
Lucia Ariza
If this was in the 80's and early 90's, there was truth to that; but not in the 21 century.
We still got norcos in colombia. We just dont have a war like when pablo. So not all of us are narcos but there's still a lot of narcos here
@Jackie Desiree Ayala I'm colombian n live in America nobody has ever ask me if im a narco when i meet them. Just like i don't ask americans if they are serial killers or if they cook meth. Just Cause i watched dexter and breaking bad
Cuéntamelo 🙄
Yea frfr
Haha when in London, I was speaking Spanish with my family and a guy at a stand paused me and asked me where we were from, and when we mentioned “Colombia” he instantly whipped out the Pablo Escobar tattoo 🙄
You forget the most asked thing: "so do you like cocaine"? Lmao
When they ask me things like that i just tell them "no the first time i saw cocaine in person was here in america but i have never try it." not need to get mad about it :)
Omg I hate when they misspell COLOMBIA like how??? Crea me, lo odio 😭
JustLesia uyyy si yo tan bien odio cuando hacen eso
I'm not Colombian but I always correct people when they spell it wrong...also I love Colombia very much :)
I get so mad when they spell "Colombia" with a u😠. Like if u agree
They say "Columbia"🤣🤣🤣
Hola señorita. Lo odio mucho también Porque yo se que Colombia el país es con la letra O. No me gusta las personas ignorantes y que no tienen una educación.
I feel in love with Colombia when I went there. Colombia is a very beautiful country and with very nice people. It's a change of pace for me when I go. My girlfriend always tell me to slow down, cause everything in America is fast pace. I'm ashamed at how uneducated and confused my fellow Americans are about Colombia. I tell everyone th ey should go. Because my girlfriend is from Colombia I'm not at some resort, I'm actually mingling with the Colombians.
I met a girl online last year from Colombia. A really nice and very sweet girl. We talk everyday. The first thing I did after I met her was research Colombia. What a beautiful Country! The food looks very good, and most of the people are very nice and friendly. I have since talked to some other people from Colombia. The girl does not speak much English....actually, she may know about six words in total. So I am learning Spanish, as I plan to visit the Country next year and want to be able to communicate with her in her own language. Her city is very beautiful, it is very modern and it is very clean. I live just outside of Chicago, and I will tell you that her City looks way more appealing than Chicago does. Me encanta el pais de Colombia!
What city is she from?
@@alicantino1151 Bucaramanga. It is pretty much straight east of Bogota. La ciudad de los parques....La ciudad más bonita.
@@MrMajikman1 Never went there. I've heard it's beautiful. Good luck to you and your new Colombian friend 😀
The endless Pablo Escobar references
Thanks for this video! I love it! I'm from germany and I stayed 4 months in Colombia, and what i hated the most were foreigners asking About Escobar. When other Germans asked About These Topics, I just reminded them how they would feel if a Tourist asks them About the grave of Hitler, and wuhuuu they started to understand! Videos like this are very very important. People akways cross borders and Need to be reminded!
"you're too pale"
alexandra moody or ”to dark” (in my case 😅)
I hate when people say that I'm "too pale" to be Colombian or that I don't "look" Colombian at all. Or when they get surprised for meeting a darkskinned/black Colombian. People can be really ignorant at times lol
@@ampg.31
Don't feel bad, I understand that it is uncomfortable that ignorant people only base themselves on stereotypes to qualify you and if you are in Gringolandia it wouldn't surprise me either. A percentage of them are ignorant, they are unaware that the cultural and ethnic identity of Colombians, and throughout Latinamerica, is formed by the mixing of ethnic groups, that percentage believes that all white people by default are either from the country, or from Canada, or from Europe.
I retired in Colombia nine years ago. Greatest place in the world. Married a beautiful Colombian gal and we just had a precious baby boy nine days ago. Thanks Juan!! Your video was super
Congratulations!
What city do you guys live in? My wife of 25 years is from Colombia. We’re going to be retiring in a couple of years, and we’re trying to figure out where to move to.
@@geraldobrien7323
Hi Gerard,
Nice to hear from you. I had completely forgotten about Juan's video I commented on soon after our Son was born. All is going very well for us during this crazy pandemic.
We live in the town of Guarne which is located over the mountain ridge from Medellin. I did a lot of research seeking out a place that I thought I would enjoy spending my retirement years. The weather was my first criteria. Not too hot or not too cold. Near the Equator at 7000 ft elevation was the secret. Guarne fits that perfectly. Then being near the most modern city in Colombia plus near an International Airport was also a plus. I don't speak Spanish but met English speaking Colombian's here and other really fine people.
We now are completing our new finca complex that is 900 feet above the town. Guarne has many skilled contractors that were reliable and reasonable. Guarne and the surrounding area has a population of around 25,000 people. To date, 116 cases have been reported. All the merchants and residence seem to take all the precautions to help keep new cases down.
Take care and also Congratulation on a successful marriage.
Jeff And Family
Jeff Robinson Thanks for replying, Jeff. I’ll definitely talk to my wife about it. I’ve learned how to speak Spanish, so I wouldn’t have to go through that process if we move there. And other Colombians have told me about Medellin, the city of eternal spring.
I’m glad to hear that they’re taking the pandemic seriously down there. Up here in New Jersey, we’re one of the better states, but there still is a sizable portion of the population who think it’s some sort of hoax/conspiracy, so they ignore all precautions.
But anyway, congratulations on your marriage to a terrific woman, and of course on your new son.
@@geraldobrien7323 - Whoa your 25 year old wife will be retiring soon? She must be rich lol
@@Izakokomarixyz I said wife of 25 years, not 25 year old wife. We met when she was 25. Beautiful. She looked a lot like Gloria Estefan.
I agree with everything except when you say that Colombia is "very" safe, I mean, you can survive of course but sadly it's not such a safe place and that's the reality my friend
@@angelicaflorez6660 - It’s kinda safe if you don’t give papaya. If you do give papaya then it is almost not safe anywhere in colombia.
@@markdavis7397 bro too much Wikipedia haha I've been to Baltimore and st Louis that's a heaven compared to some colombian cities thousands of Colombians would sacrifice a lot to live in Baltimore or st Louis
@@markdavis7397 yes Marky my evidence is that Colombian Mexicans and a whole lot of other governments including the us but in a lower scale make up the real number of homicides so they can say in political campaigns that they reduced the homicides rate at certain percentage when in reality it increases, you're too naive Marky
I can relate ! And I am from Bogota Colombia 🇨🇴 😊❤️ I’m proud where I came from !
When I told my classmates that I was Colombian they right out asked me if we had electricity or technology at all. It hurt.
I tasted Colombian food before (not sure what everything is called) but it's so good🙂❤
Really glad you liked it! It truly is good food ❤️
I love Bandeja Paisa!!!!!
Oooohhh yeeeaahhh what about arroz con huevos
Salchipapas is good as well.
Bandeja paisa
Juan, you must show a video with our colombian food: Sancochos, mondongo, típico, ajiaco, tamales...
I'd love to! I just can't find any of that stuff where I live 😔
I live near atlanta and there's like 5 colombian restaurants less then 5 minutes from my house
Cocaine... Yummy
Don't forget the arepa's and patacones!
Don't forget arrepas. Mmmm tamales🥲
⛔ every time when someone ask me if Colombia produce best cocaine in the world? I answer ...NO..!! We produce Best Coffee ☕in the world..!!⛔
We do produce coffee! But the reality is that we also produce lots of cocaine. And for our campesinos that don't have the infrastructure to sell other products is better to farm and sell coca then plantains but they still good ppl that are just trying to feed their families
@@dacolo5074 Bolivia is the best producer in cocaïne
Alright so Im not originally Colombian but I was born in Colombia. When I came back to my home country, people were like, Colombia?? Narcos??? THAT IS SO COOL what is your dad's job again???? MAN YOU MUST MISS IT THERE VERRRY COOOL. Dude drug dealing is not cool at all and stereotyping is awful
I don’t know much about Colombia but each one that I’ve met is suuuuper well spoken, polite and sweet.
"Very safe" I'm Colombian and Ecuadorian, it is definitely not VERY, it's not SUPER dangerous but be aware, some places don't take out your iPhone and stuff, you gotta avoid things like that.
Im Colombian and i suport this message.
Es cierto. Papaya puesta, papaya partida.
You are absolutely correct. The fact is, that most of the crime in Colombia now are crimes of opportunity, so...don't give the opportunity! No das papaya! It's that simple.
What would of you do?
I wanna make Colombian guys and girls !! Amo su acento! 😍😍🤤
Cual de todos?
@@mirenanieves8936
Asumo que el acento Paisa, muchos creen que por defecto el acento Paisa se aplica en general en toda Colombia porque es el más conocido.
I picked up a “Columbian “friend at LAX ( Copa Airlines)his plane disembark and I thought:how could there be so many short people on one plane, this has to be a country of munchkins .And most looked very African. Be proud of who you are.
I hate when people ask why are you white if your from Colombia I mean Whyyy
Sameeee
gringos think all colombians are tan/brown, and all hispanic americans think almost all colombians are white
The gringos thinks that only caucasian people are from his country and Canada, they do not know about the mixed race process that developed the different ethnicities in the latinamerican countries since the viceroyal times.
You are half right when it comes to the burritos and tacos. Burritos are American, but tacos are actually Mexican. Man, they actually ask you if you have internet and if you live the jungles. That's crazy.
Never mention Brazil v Colombia to a Colombian soccer fan
Why?
@@jairoherrera4040
Maybe because of the goal of Yepes that was stolen from us in the world cup 2014, during the match between Colombia and Brazil.
Colombians are amazing people!!! One of my favorite cultures by far!
I don't mind getting asked about Pablo Escobar
..sorry bro, I'm from South Africa, my experience, with Colombian, not good, from first from Bucaramanga, then I paid to get him in Bogota, to his so-called aunt, which is such ..corrupt, same as his mother, she's an..escourt, shame..bought him clothes..brand name ..by the way..very kind, nice, noble heart.. the list goes on..but..cunning...
..heart breaking to see and hear how young people mostly struggle. I also know one in Antiqua.
..helped him, from South Africa, a different continent, during the ..lockdown
were you running while you wrote that? lol
I met a Colombiano and he’s so nice and he’s hot. Thank God I didn’t ask him such questions like those 😂
1. Colombia with a "u"
2. Confusion with mexican food.
3. Pablo Escobar
4. You live in jungles, internet access?
i love your edits haha honestly going to show my parents this video in a couple weeks before i tell them i'm moving to Colombia solo for the summer hahaha wish me luck!!
Thank you! I’m sure you’ll have a blast!
Hey im Colombian and Don't believe him on the very safe part you need to be awere of thieves in the cities. And iligal armies in rural areas. You can have a great time but be careful
Honestly, preach ✊🏼😔. I’m almost 30 now and I still hear this stuff after 18 years. I also don’t fully understand Latino-American culture nor do I want to be a part of it much to the dismay of others (but that’s on me).
Im Colombian and if an american ask me about pablo or the jungle or tacos i dont get mad i just inform them of what the reality is
I am from the United States and I have been to Colombia 8 times so far. I also hate these stupid stereotypes and I also get offended when people still associate Colombia with Pablo Escobar and Narcos, and little else. However, there is another side to the coin here that I found during my trips to Colombia. Colombians would do well to take this same advice when thinking about Americans. Most of them have never been to the United States and only rely on what they see in the movies or from the internet. They also have a lot of misguided stereotypes about Americans.
@@angelicaflorez6660 The problem with that is people tend to be more direct and sometimes rude on the internet in general, not just people from the United States but from everywhere. It's easy to be that way online when someone is anonymous. The point is if you really want to know a country and their people the best way is to go there and see for yourself. First hand experience is always best.
@@angelicaflorez6660 I'm sorry your aunt had a bad experience, but we're not all that way. My wife is Colombian and I love Colombia. We're planning to move there when I retire. I will say that I have been stereotyped there because I'm a gringo, and those stereotypes are usually based on what they see in the media, which can be biased, or in the movies, which is entertainment and not reality. Nobody likes to he stereotyped but I guess it's human nature to do so.
@@troyhackman6407 Even if they stereotype you I don't think you will be treated badly here, colombians love foreigners (except Venezuelans cause I've seen people dislike them here, personally I don't discriminate) you maybe will need to be careful with being scammed but that's something we face here daily
@@angelicaflorez6660 That is really true, you have to watch out for the scams and " no da papaya". When I want to buy something I will often send my wife or sister in law to find out the price first and then I come in to buy it so I don't get the "gringo price"...😂 I have the advantage here being married to a Colombian so I've been well educated on what to do and what not to do.
I love Colombia. I went to visit my former fiance's family in Bogotá for about a month. Beautiful country. I have friends in Medellín, too.
we have internet light great minds happy people
say it louder for the people in the back!!
I thought English people call Colombia Columbia and Colombians call their country Colombia just like for example we call Italy as Italy but Italians call their country Italia. Now I know it's called Colombia :D
Columbia .. Understandable..colombia🤷pablo escobar is part of the history of colombia is ok if people show interest..tacos huh i never had anybody asking me if i eat tacos o burritos .. Lol colombias problem we or they take things too personal ...
Im Colombian and i hete when colombians make videos without researching about the things they say and say things like tacos and burritos aren't mexican Lol. all you need to do is go to wikipedia before you make your video
And yes they americanized tacos n buriitos in places like taco bell but that doesn't mean that it isn't mexican food
@DaCoLo. Thank you for pointing out the truth about tacos and burritos, I was going to write a comment about this before I read yours. Tacos are a favorite snack food all over Mexico, and consist of a little bit of whatever food you have, in a small fresh tortilla. Burritos are large tortilla wraps from Northern Mexico, and usually include beans. I have many Mexican friends who will testify to tacos and burritos being authentically Mexican food.
burritos are tex-mex, no?
Whenever I tell somebody that im colombian, they always hit me with this question. " Aye bruh u got some of that coke, u know...DAT COKE"
It is a little silly to get upset about these things as most of the time these people are simply trying to connect with you. The more positive outlook would be to take this as an opportunity to share some things about your culture to people who know nothing about your culture. That is pretty cool when you think about it because you get to be an ambassador for your country. But when you get upset and let your feelings get hurt, you will instead come off like a snob and probably discourage people from wanting to learn more about your culture. It is fine if you are just using this video to vent but a more productive video would be listing cool things to talk with Colombians about.
True. It’s piss me off all the time.
PLEASE ffs Do NOT ask me to watch “Narcos”
In Colombia we have like 200,000 different telenovelas about narcotrafico with the same characters, storylines and messages
Pablo Escobar, Tirofijo, drug trafficking, glorifying thugs and their lifestyles, more Pablo Escobar, cautionary tales, blah blah
Plus I’ve lived it and it sucked. I’m good.
100% agreed. I'm not Colombian, not even a drop of sangre latina, yet I cannot stand any of those "programs". I pray that Colombians continue to promote and develop more opportunities to share the best of what Colombia has to offer. Besides natural beauty, friendly people, fresh healthy food, there is a lot more to enjoy about the country and learn about the culture. The world really doesn't need another series, show, movie, book or even news report about drugs, violence, human trafficking, poverty and perversion. Dios te bendiga.
Im from Colombia and i don't care if they missed spell columbia. We call England Inglaterra and United states estados unidos. I know Columbia isn't Colombia in English but why do you care so much its just a mistake
I lived in Colombia for at least 15 years and I've never eaten a taco
I lived in colombia and i ete tacos, burritos, Peruvian, argentinean, Chinese, Japanese and pretty much food from a lot places you probably lived in the jungle cause in the city you can find food from all over the globe
@@dacolo5074
I've lived in Monteria, Bogotá and Medellín, I actually know where to find food but I have simply never eaten it... I kinda want tho
You should bro they even sell tortillas en el exito
Yeah but Me doesn't know how2taco
@@LoanRepresentative theres a thing on the internet where you can get any recipes i think its call TH-cam
Every time I say I'm Colombian they say dosent your country sell drugs?
Yesss the second one is true you should NEVER say that to a Colombian ( I would know I am a Colombian)
“Soo… cocaine huh? 😏”
*punches them in the face*
There is no need to be violent, the only thing that You must do is asking about their slaves and wait their reaction, when they got upset and react tell them that You feel the same when they ask about cocaine.
and colombian people are not black if u go to colombian you realize that most people are white like 4 of 20 are black
depends on location but I didn’t see most colombians as being white when I was over there.
I'm going to give you a little tip, in Colombia the different ethnic groups abound to a greater or lesser extent depending on the area of the country where you are. Here we don't complicate our minds much with that, this comes from the time of the Spanish empire, for example I live in the Paisa area, and I can say that here there are Caucasian and dark-skinned people like myself to a greater extent, while to a lesser extent there are Afro-descendants and indigenous people. It all depends on the area of the country, as I said, Afro-descendants are more abundant in coastal areas in case you were wondering.
Well, I talk to them about Shakira and they get amazed, they think i'm a good prson and don't make nagative assumptions, I tell them then that I'm from Shakira's hometown of course.
Or when they call you mexican and they know you're from colombia... ugh
I love the fact you're from Bogota but love Afrobeat, that's why I thought you were Barranquillero bcos they go crazy for their Champeta.
Afrobeat is the best man! Idk it just makes me want to dance 🕺🏽
Spent a month in Colombia before the pandemic... amazing people and country. I felt so at home there and I’m a eastern european gringo lol
I've never been in Colombia before but I found this country interesting and I'd like to visit it someday. I'm learning Spanish by the way to be ready hehehe. I also had conversations to a Colombiano in fb and he was so so romantic and straight forward in a good way.
Shakira Shakira !
Honestly, this is okay. 😎
Would they be angry if I ask them if they like the movie Encanto???
No, You will be fine dude. To be honest, the movie Encanto was very welcomed in Colombia in my opinion, I liked it.
That film correctly represents many aspects of the culture and life of Colombians without falling into derogatory stereotypes, and it did so accurately, setting itself in a time where there was a lot of conflict in my country.
The creators of that movie did do their homework.
Tengo bebesito colombiano jaja (just learning Spanish)
When we first met I said oh you're from Colombia with lots of miss universe title holder. Something like that i said hahah.
Nice choice on the Clubz song!!! Also, fellow Colombian here ¿Qué más mi llave?
Fortunately, I've traveled the world and knew to research the country. I've had great conversations with Colombians, and have traveled there many times and in my experience, some of the friendliest people on the planet. Fortunately this white boy speaks fairly good Spanish which is most helpful! I've run into so many other tourists in Medellin and Pereira who were upset that they couldn't find places where people spoke more english. I did help one couple out of some difficult situation they were in, but that was because they didn't think about where they were going, and I only bring up escobar with one friend because it drives him crazy, Hey parce lets go to hacienda napoles? it's now a joke between old friends now.
Here to learn more about the colombian girl I am talking to now.
How are the tacos in Columbia? Jk just came back from Colombia, and i must say it is one of the best countries I’ve ever visited. Super clean, safe, and the sceneries are amazing.
Of course you eat more than tacos and burritos...arepas for example.
When someone asks, I like to answer and correct any missinformation... depending on how it is asked, of course!
"Do you have a pet donkey?" "Are you related to Pablo escobar?" "So you like cocaine right?" Etc.
I go to Kulumbiya to donate Tacos to the Poor Kulumbiyanas living in Poblado. Tacos are a national delicasse.
Wait aren’t tacos an authentic mexican dish??
I get the narco/ drug/ mafia dude questions. Totally annoying and it gets old. No joke. Maybe I should call discrimination. Lol
Soy Colombiana y vivo hace 3 años en usa y me han llegado a preguntar "sabes quien es Michael Jackson?" 🙄😒
Me han dejado hablando sola en medio de una conversación solo por la flojera que les da de que mi inglés no es fluido.
Y cuando recién llegue también muchas personas hablaban mal de los inmigrantes delante mio porque pensaban que yo no entendía 🙄.... Hay una gran diferencia entre escuchar y hablar con la misma habilidad.
Incluso hay personas que no pueden entender como he podido llegar tan lejos profesionalmente con mi no muy fluido inglés y no han tenido ningún problema en hacermelo saber 😅
En fin también he conocido muchas más personas muy amables, educadas y abiertas de mente que han hecho mi dia a dia mas fácil y feliz, asi que trato de mantenerme enfocada en lo positivo
En Australia estas cosas no pasan. Encuentran la manera de hablar contigo y entenderte.
Quien es Michel Jackson? Es el hermano de Pablo Escobar?
Hola Señor Juan. Hablo español y tengo una amiga que es una colombiana y ella está viviendo en Vancouver una ciudad en el oeste del Canadá 🇨🇦, British Columbia. No te preocupas porque soy un hombre educado. Yo se también que tu país de Colombia 🇨🇴 es con la letra O. Yo se qual es la diferencia con Colombia 🇨🇴 el país y El nombre Columbia el nombre de la provincia en el oeste de Canadá 🇨🇦. Me encantaría que conocerte y ser tu amigo. Muchas gracias y hasta luego.
I just met a colombian guy and he says usted? And why do they say they are players smh 🤦 i know dumb. And what are cute things i can say to soneone from medellin
i just want a colombian girlfriend 😅
Why?
I want james Rodriguez
@Daniel Olaya....las colombianas son muy muy cariñosas!
Nice video Juan, thanks. Nothing I hate more than going into a coffee shop and seeing this sign... "We have real Columbian coffee!" .. really? Since when does coffee grow in South Carolina? - I do have a quick question .. probably moving to Colombia in a year or two ... Trying to get a feel of difference between the different areas in and around Medellin. Any advice you could offer would be great. How do Envigado, Belen, Laureles and Sabaneta differ.
Hola Colombia
Sometimes I misspell Colombia by accident
I googled Colombia. Pablo Escobar popped out xD
😂
don't say that to any Colombian because you will get them mad just by reading what you said you got me so mad
XD
Mara Guisao
He's still part of Columbia's drug trafficking history though.
OMG! What a fun video. I have a Spanish tutor in Colombia and you made me realize that I've been spelling it Columbia all along. I mean there's a Columbia river near me and a Columbia Bank and Christopher Columbus. So can I be forgiven? I promise I won't do it again.
@@gibbonschip
There is no need for forgiveness, in fact, the name of Colombia came from Christopher Columbus, in Spanish his name is "Cristóbal Colón". When we became independent from Spain, the leaders of that time took the Hispanic version of the Genoese admiral's surname to give the country its name, which is why it is called Colombia (Land of Columbus). Many of us feel uncomfortable when they say Columbia, and even though it also means the same thing, the fact is that how the name was given that way and how it is a proper name, and then someone saying it or spelling it wrong causes that feeling, It's like if someone said your name wrong, that affects you because your name gives you your identity, but you became aware of it so everything is fine.
@@renearroyave1888 Thanks for that history.
@@gibbonschip
You are welcome
Colombia is as 'safe' as any other big city. If you have money and other people know that THEN you're gonna be a kidnapping target. I know many families that have gone through this so don't even bother telling me it's not true. So if you're travelling to colombia don't flaunt your cash unless you want to be a target. Same goes for any other place in the world.
I hate it when they mess up our spelling of our country ITS COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 or the stupid Pablo Escobar jokes! We have JBalvin, Shakira, Maluma, Joe Arroyo, Karol G, Juanes and the best coffee in the world! Oh and the food!
❤❤❤❤ Colombian and yesss
I agree with all of your points, except that tacos and burritos actually are Mexican cuisine.
Stereotypes go both ways though, a lot of people have some pretty negative stereotypical beliefs about Americans and the US, that just aren’t correct, including many Colombians I’ve met.
I’m glad that you didn’t bring up use of the word “American” as meaning “of the USA” in English. That’s something many Colombians wrongly interpret as some weird form of liguistic imperialism. They don’t realize that the English translation of “estadounidense” is literally “American”. You were obviously raised in the US or Canada or spent many years in North America so I’m sure you understand that.
Ironically most Colombians I know, including my wife and her family, just use “Americano”. Also, on my Colombian-born daughter’s registro civil, my nationality is written “Americano”. I refer to myself as estadounidense though, just to avoid any drama with strangers.
Tacos are NOT Americanized Mexican food! In general Mexicans *love* tacos, and why not? They`re varied, delicious, inexpensive and fun to eat. That said, it is deeply offensive to paisas in particular even to *mention* that pendejo Escobar. Don`t even think of taking one of those awful "Pablo Escobar Tours." That`s disgusting. Also never, never, never ask where you can buy cocaine! The paisas might just say "Al demonio" to you in a trice.
African go through the same... I totally understand you. :(
I HATEEEEEEEEE WHEN THEY SPELL IT COLUMBIA ! & the Pablo Escobar comments ughhhhh. I always get asked if I know traquetos
When I first went to Colombia for a vacation, and have been back a couple of times, so many people were horrified, asked me was I in danger therem but Robert you're an old guy, you're a target. Well maybe if i'm wearing a bunch of gold chains and carrying a bunch of case! But then that would be anywhere! I am multi lingual, I was actually asked if I spoke Colombia, after my eye roll, I said I was able to get by in some places with Spanish. and to reeducate on the word gringo - not Colombian? = you're a gringo, get over it, move on!
I learned that is easier to go with the flow. So if they mention Narcos i'm just like sure (and it happens frequently). and thrust me I have travel abroad in places you might have never heard and the same assumptions happen over and over. Asi como le dimos tanto aire a narcos ahora chupe pa que mame!
The fact that people spell it Columbia makes me so mad bro (I’m Colombian)
I struggle with being told I don’t look Colombian
Let me guess, because You are caucasian?, do not feel bad man, some foreigners especially the gringos don't know about the miscegenation process that created our cultural identity.
jaja I enjoyed the video I am a Japanese who married a Colombian and yep I am sorry I used to mispell COLOMBIA too.....but comeon guys when I went over there to visit the family they were asking me if my pussy opens sideway or if my father is a samurai/yakuza and no matter how many times I explain everybody that I am Japanese everybody say I am chinese so I call it even. hahaha love the country anyway..... guess nobody is free from stereotypes....
Porque no hace vídeos en español, o al menos subtítulos ?
My name is also Juan 👍
Great vid man 👍🏽😭😂❤️
How about this one: Venezuelans created the Arepa and they make the best Arepas in the world! lol
Kolumbien in German.
Tacos y burritos si son mexicanos y no, no son una vaina americanizada de US, son mexicanos desde hace mucho tiempo XD
Oh my gosh if you bring up Pablo Escabar or Narcos you will get slapped! I swear people think I'm either a drug dealer, drug user, or a super poor child living in the jungle. Grr just thinking about it makes me furious
I hate when they think is ok to call me chica, I despise that
Chica no te enojes they just trying to be nice
Yea Colombia got the most hot Latino guys sooooo hot
Aii me recuerdo de las empanadas del pueblo❤️ proxima ves voy pa cali😍
