My wife is latina form peru been to together just under 6 years now , to be fair she was the first South American i ever meet in the UK i knew she was special hence why i got that ring on her finger , i love her culture to very family driven and the food is great . Well i hope the latinas and latinos that have moved to the UK feel welcome here. Lol the last girl you was talking to as soon as she mention time keeping i thought of my wife her time keeping is rubbish , with me being in the army it drives me nuts lol.

ahah cheers bro! 🍺

You're smart for marrying a girl from there. I'm Mexican and if I ever tie the knot it will be with a traditional Latina girl who acts old fashioned. I don't care how sexist I sound but I want a woman who can cook, clean and act like a lady.

[@johnbarlow-su1yb]

Thanks for making one for Latinos

[@sneakerhead6625]

proud english latina here and i can say growing up en londres there was a lot of us. americans never realise we have a strong community in the uk, particularly in south london. only issue is its all brazilian, dominicanos & colombianos but there’s barely any other latinos incl my people (shout out to my nicaragüenses!). loved the video!

[@dangercat9188]

I'm half Boricua and Dominican from nyc and I had no idea there were Dominicans over there. That's crazy lol. But I am aware of the large Colombian and Ecuadorian communities over there. Much love from the states to the English latinos and everyone 🇺🇸 🤝 🇬🇧

Hi, representing Miami here. Europeans come and are shocked that 70% of the people are Latinos. We speak English and Spanish. Some of us, like me, have lived 100 years in the US, but I lived 9 years in Ecuador. My father is Cuban. I speak four languages. I am married to a German. Cubans built Miami. I have friends living in the UK, and I have visited London while I was living in Switzerland.

[@starofdabloc]

Cubans did not build Miami lol it was already there when mass immigration started there

Thanks Ryan appreciate it! :) yes i was surprised there are a lot of latinos here, not the case in Korea?

[@ryanasksaround]

​@@ArnaudFromFrance not too many latinos or foreigners in general, but surprisingly many French tourists/students

[@MoMo-ul6uk]

There's a sizeable population of South Americans in Manchester. This is especially true for Brazilians.

[@pdcdesign9632]

The funny thing is the term LATIN AMERICA was coined by a French guy. It was the French economist Michel Chevalier who first used the term “Latin America” in the 1850s while traveling the Americas as a way to distinguish what he felt were “Latin” peoples from the “Anglo-Saxon” peoples. This idea helped legitimize French colonial activities in Latin America.

[@cube6485]

There really isn't a strong amount of evidence of that. There's a lot of debate as to the origin of that word. Including words like "Ladino" and was used during the Spanish empire. That existed way before any french colonization. Regardless, the term is based on actual logic. Lets keep it real, the majority of Latin America is mixed with people of southern europe, so it's not like there isn't actual truth to that. Please stop propagating that this comes as the French as a fact when it's only one of the possibilities(which is pretty unlikely).

[@dangercat9188]

[@tattianasalles3019]

I am from Brazil. Unfortunately it's not just the Brits, foreigners in general when talking about Latin America remember violence, drugs and corrupt politicians...😢😢😢 Obviously we are much more than that. We are from one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Our natural landscapes are stunning. Latin America's biodiversity is off the charts. We are the result of the mixture of different people, which gives us a unique cultural richness and diversity. Our food is delicious. There is no country in Latin America that has bad food. Our cinema is vibrant. We have great music and many of the most creative writers and artists are from Latin America.

Ironically I've met people who moved from Ghana, South Africa, the Philippines, Tennessee, and various latin counties.

Hey Arnaud, I posted this as a reply, but I want you to see this comment so that pdcdesign's comment doesn't mislead you. There's a lot of debate as to the origin of that word Latino. Including words like "Ladino" and was used during the Spanish empire. That word existed way before any efforts of French colonization in Latin America, and highly probably the actual origin of the word. Regardless, the term Latin America is based on actual logic. Let's keep it real, the majority of Latin America are southern Europeans (Latin people) mixed with indigenous (Americans) people, so it's not like there isn't actual truth to that. It's possible that France tried to appeal to the term to gain favor and contributed to some degree to popularizing, but I think the impact overall would have still been very little. The word "Ladino" was used similarly to the word "Mestizo" which I think contributed to the fast acceptance as the acknowledgement of being mixed race is something that is omnipresent in Latin America.

And the British are more than ‘tea’ and ‘the queen’ but we don’t complain when everyone in the world brings it up

[@oscarpena7285]

We Mexicans are still stuck with drug trafficking, I asume a couple of years more.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

Literally never heard anyone bring that shit up around Brits lol. You can hardly compare a string preference for tea with a dirty business that has corrupted Latin America to the core. So yeah, Latin Americans can complain, because most people who don’t know much associate those things as part of you culture, which is incredibly wrong.

Ah those from Venezuela. I have never understood your need to say "oh my parents are from Venezuela but my grandparents are from Germany" and in many cases it is not even true. Why aren't Venezuelans proud of their race? In all of Latin America (except Argentina, who believe they are Europeans, literally) there is the concept that if your father is Venezuelan and your mother is Peruvian, but you were born and raised in Venezuela, you are Venezuelan, period. But Venezuelans never seem to be able to be proud of their origins. You always want to bring up a relative from outside the American continent and many times that is not even true.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

So both of my parents are Mexican-born, they came to the states young, I was born in the states. I can’t say I’m Mexican? Just because I was born in a certain country means I have to ignore my background and how my parents taught/raised me based on that culture. Seems quite a dumb statement for you to say.
