Do Japanese people know about Latin America?

[@karirona]

nah fr, people be surprised asf when I tell them my uncle from Mexico is an architect. Like bro💀? did you think they still hadn’t reached the industrial period or something?

[@mannyrouxx]

Has he by chance ever design any tunnels👀

[@VirginPride]

No, it’s just you guys left a bad taste in their mouth.

[@kingschmoopy6583]

To be honest, I think even a ton of American people just think the country is ran by the Cartel.

[@NoYoutubeName1]

Is he the one who designed everything to be yellow 🤣

[@mika-yy7gk]

@@kingschmoopy6583it quite literally is tho lol There is barley any good cops left,politicians get shot if they talk about changing laws against them and the government is insanely corrupt. Only good part left is the military

[@user-ju3nm3ny7n]

That's not just the Japanese. Americans are also shocked to learn there's running water in Argentina and educated people in Mexico.

The interview from Takashi are awesome is one better than other.

[@MangoHomie]

latin culture is rare in anime but when there are latin influences i feel so proud . Bleach , chad was mexican and there is so much influence with the hollows and their names. also megalobox season 2 i loved the songs in spanish.

[@xsavagexilimitz6956]

I always thought Chad was black learned something new today

[@Trust_in_Passion]

Spanish influence in Mexico and Latin America expect Brazil ( portoguese gene )

[@blakegripling2923]

Also Jojos Bizarre Adventure! The Aztec vampire mask and all, that was very nicely done

[@musicinmymind623]

I felt so proud seeing Chad call his grandpa abuelo!! I’m not even Mexican (I’m a Boricua) but it just filled my heart seeing a mixed Latino character portrayed so well

[@musicinmymind623]

@@xsavagexilimitz6956 I haven’t seen the anime so I’m not sure about his family, but he could be! Being Latino is an ethnicity and not a race so Latinos can be black, white, both, etc.!

[@chinnjk]

I honestly think it's because it's impressive being an engineer in general

[@gooftroop2553]

No

[@imtired5401]

No it’s because they think Latins only work in farms or some job that makes less than 10 per hour when that doesn’t apply to everyone They’re human just like any other rich successful person is and have the ability to become whatever they want. The only difference is their race.

[@hid4y]

​@@imtired5401 I think you get it wrong, I, personally think being an engineer is impressive no matter what race you are.

[@imtired5401]

@@hid4y I’m not tryna be racist or anything. I too think being one is impressive no matter ur race. I’m just explaining how racist people think of Hispanics.

I blame Hollywood for this. They've created stereotypes about every country. Smh

[@valeriapazdiazquintana8210]

He made a point. Japanese people, without any bad intention behind, don't know Latinamerica is developed. Maybe we are too far away from each other and you only get bad thing from us, but I can assure you we are lovely people and we love Japan as well ❤️ (and Chile is a nice country too 🇨🇱)

[@estebangutierrez160]

I will admit there are some poor areas, and rich areas. But even with those areas there are still lots of nice and kind people who put in the effort in what they do. As a Mexican born in America, I have visited Mexico multiple times and seen everything that has happened.

[@GDxYS]

It’s the same for Filipinos. I am staying with my aunt who is a permanent resident and an acquaintance asked if my auntie is married to a japanese man or a hostess 🥲 He was weirdly surprised she’s an engineer, and not married to a Japanese either. I’ve also met some people who immediately assume I’m a hostess, factory worker, or a housekeeper once they learn my nationality.

[@user-em9du3cl1z]

Not as epic as when I present myself as an Arab Mauritanian. Like where is that? How do you speak English? Why Japan? And questions like this. But we all know they are just suprised to meet such person.

[@lareina.delsur]

This happened to me in tokyo. They're surprised when I tell them I'm a genetic engineer and they more suprised when I say I am Turkish. They look at me like i'm some kinda weird animal. Sad.

[@moonbasemonk]

I wonder if most of that surprise is because you are a woman more than your race, since STEM isn’t common for women after all.

[@lareina.delsur]

​@@moonbasemonkno and stem very common in here. I wouldn't exactly call it racism and i think it's not about me being a woman. they had just bias about türkiye and turkish people

[@sempre8135]

Maybe they are surprised because they didnt know turkey is a latin american country

[@tonysandoval5819]

​@@lareina.delsur I am curious why you call yourself "La reina del sur" and say that you are Turkish?

[@Deepak-ju2ge]

I am coming to Japan as a nihongo gaku Sai to meet you sir big fan

[@tulip811]

I think that and I'm from Europe, thanks Television

[@itsacorporatething]

Does anyone have a street interview channel like this in a Latin American country? I want to learn about the region and practice Spanish.

[@X66966]

American movies has portrayed Mexico as a poor country a lot of times to a point where I don't it's just the Japanese that have this perception towards Mexico. The perception that Mexico is a poor country might just be world wide.

[@SW-Italia2309]

He said they're from Chile.

[@ernestestrada2461]

When I was growing up many Americans had very old textbooks and believed Japanese was still a quiet rural country. I think that many people unless they make an effort to learn about another country often have a slanted or out-of-date image of a country.

[@anubizz3]

Yeah right like not alot of Japanese people in Brazil, Japanese people not that ignorant mostlikely they just being polite, and now let ask Latin America people about other Asian countries? Do they even know they even exist

[@thepatriot47]

Chile has the highest human development index in S.America (0.851) Japan's Hdi is 0.925 so the difference between 🇨🇱 and 🇯🇵 is not very much........ Btw great work takashi love from Haryana 🟨🟩 Btw my Haryana has hdi of 0.708, so both japan and chile are better than my place atleast 😬

[@Trust_in_Passion]

India is better than haryana NGL 🤣 Because haryana and new Delhi are small countries though

[@thepatriot47]

@@Trust_in_Passion Haryana is a state in India New Delhi is a City in Delhi (hence the namesake)which is in India Plus Haryana and Delhi both have better living conditions than India average

[@SugitaMariko]

I don't think Japanese people are necessarily "shocked" or "surprised" when they hear that she's an engineer. Japanese people tend to say "sugoi" to everything whi

[@JoseRamos-mb1gj]

Yeah i think the same thing cuz thats all we see basically

[@blueprintsg]

I thought Japanese people already knew about Latin American culture with the Samba Carnival dance parade thing🎉

[@Dragon-Catracho]

So is this the reason why there's rarely any Hispanic Characters in Japan ?

In latin America you must get a job were you are sure you´re going to get much mooney per month, greetings from Argentina

Do you have a job here in Argentina? if so, what high salary job would you recommend in this country?

[@Joaco_Petit]

@@miguelheredia4123 anyone you’re sure you’re going to going to win well, engineer, any type of medic, like kinesioloy, cardiologist, surgeon; investor, politic, programmer, architect or a business of buying and selling cars (for ex). In my opinion if u dont choose to do/study to have any of those jobs you’re not going to live well at least

[@GuruLifts]

female engineers are a bit more rare? maybe it's gender based not race based lol

[@diederichaxlan4095]

That's ignorance from the Japanese to be surprise for things like that 😂 like we don't have buildings, there are a lot of smart people in Latin America and also good inventors that create inventions for the world -

[@santodeportes5946]

Latin America > Japan

[@fushisu]

Being an engineer, especially as a women is pretty uncommon when it comes to casual "what do you do for work" type conversations.
