Re:Ygor Coelho

mate,you are wrong,the most European countries are:
In descendence and blood: Argentina
In culture: Argentina and Uruguay.

Chile has mostly mestizo ethnic with a supremacy of the aboriginal ethnic characteristics,visiting Santiago or watching the local statistics in that country are a guarantee,even,Brazil has a more European culture than Chile.

I can tell you with security because i visited all south america ;) (except Colombia).

Ok, I guess Americans think they know a lot of South America, but they probably don't. This continent varies a lot, there is not a standard "latin race" or language although the main languages are Spanish and Portuguese. Spanish is also very diverse, you don't speak the same Spanish in Mexico as you do in Uruguay, there are different words, accents, punctuation and even the grammar is different although the "Real Academia de la Lengua Espanola" (Royal Academy of the Spanish Language) does its best to regulate the language. Also, the word "Latin" shouldn't really be used to refer to South Americans, aren't the true "Latins" in Italy??? I've heard that they call us "Latins" due to our language, but Spanish is not the only language that descends from Latin, languages like Italian, French, Portuguese and Romanian also descend from Latin -and they are very similar between each other, like one is a dialect from the other- so, can a Romanian also be called "Latin"???

What types of foods do people in Uruguay eat?
Ygor Coelho
9th June 2005
South America isn't the same all over its area. Each country has its own particularities. Brazil has the largest population (180 million), the largest area and most of the longest river (the Amazon). Its culture is mostly a Portuguese culture mixed to African and Indian influences, as well as minor influences of Italians, Japaneses, Germans, Lebaneses and many others. Argentina and Chile have a mostly Hispanic culture, while other countries, like Peru and Bolivia, have a lot of Indian influence. As for the living in South America, there are great differences between the riches and the poors. The riches live in a high living standard, while the poors may live in the worst living conditions. However, I must say it doesn't reach nearly the proportion of the hungry in Africa. Some countries have a well developed industry. That's the case of Brazil (mostly) and Argentina. I guess Colombia, Chile and Venezuela have a somewhat developed industry, but not as much as Brazil and Argentina. However, Bolivia's, Peru's and other countries' GNPs are mostly come from the agriculture.
