Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

Western leaders love to praise Paul Kagame's dictatorship in Rwanda despite Kagame winning 90%+ of the vote in obviously rigged elections. The difference is that Kagame helps the west steal the DRC's resources, while Maduro and the PSUV refuse to hand over Venezuela's resources and state companies to the west.
