Again, this is not my experience at all. Most of the Spanish I know are friends with a guy from Uruguay I know and I once asked them how they felt about South Americans and they kind of laughed about accents and stuff, but they kind of seemed indifferent. Perhaps they're changing?
dude thats very naive lol no one is gonna come out and say oh yeah and btw i am racist, one needs to see an angry reaction or one that bears no direct consequence.

Myabe. I've met some spanish people that seemed indifferent as well.

It's ironic they make fun of accents considering theirs is just disgusting. But they love to say they are the only ones who speak correct spanish in the World

Perhaps, perhaps it could be just your friends though, one thing is for sure, that hatred hardly will change completely, on both sides.

They don't say I'm a racist, but I didn't ask that question either. If I remember the discussion was about Argentinians and some of their financial problems. If they are racist, you could tell.

I can make out the difference between them too though. I can't say anything about South American accents, because I only know ONE guy from Uruguay and I have to say I do not like his accent, but you know, it's one guy :D

granada and costa del sol beaches but only for 4 days



:lol: just said the same
:D

When I went to Buenos Aires, we asked the tour guide why there weren't any blacks (we had been there for like 5 days and hadn't seen one) and she said that apparently the blacks that were brought there had died because of the cold weather, but an unofficial well-known conspiracy says that the government had all of them killed because they couldn't stand them

Chilean is the worst IMO. Can't stand it nor understand it

It's funny how you can feel strongly about accents. In Belgium there are many different accents and there are various accents in Holland too. I know, small countries, but still, very big differences between cities when it comes to accents.

I hate all accents that are not from Antwerp :lol:

Well, I can stand some, but I don't like them.

:lol: Same here, I can't stand any accent that is not from Caracas.

However I think about 80% of the female latin american population will say the argentinian accent is sexy
