the playlist itself is cool i liked it. if you wanna read further go ahead, i'm not bashing you or anything just explaining.

latin america is not a country, it's not a continent, it's not an ethnical group, it's not a geographical region where people speak the same language... latin america is not much.

Now, people from Peru are called latin americans, people from Brazil are also called latin americans. But i don't see people from Spain being called latin europeans, they are called spanish. Italians are called italians and the french are called french.

It just seems to me that Latin America is a term that people in the US use mostly to refer to "everything below Texas" and that in a sense translates to peoples minds as "Mexico and other countries like Mexico" a way to put everything in the same cultural bag.

In american movies, we see actors portraying brazilians speaking spanish. We see people dancing salsa saying it's samba...

Why are the italians and the french and the spanish allowed to have their own cultural identity while we are thrown in this latin american bag? We have zero in common with venezuelans or mexicans or chileans...

probably the sentence most said by brazilians on the internet is "this is not spanish, this is portuguese". So it surprises me that in a sub called /r/Brazil the most upvoted post on the frontpage is a playlist called "South American..." and it's all in spanish.

i didnt expect you to know any of this, i didnt even expect you to care about this... so i'm not complaining about you or anything, it's just rather unfit to see this post so high in the front page. there's more to the story but this reply is getting too big so there you have it.

nice playlist tho, please don't take any of this personally.
