Why is everyone attacking the original poster? She never said a thing about Americans, she was just making a point about the inaccuracies in the biography. She was defending her country, there's nothing wrong with that.

You quote the phrase "indigenous third world country", but the phrase does NOT exist in her IMDB Bio. They DO call Venezuela a "third world country", but the word "indigenous" isn't until the last couple of lines in the bio, while talking about her foundation that helps "indigenous peoples".
The word "indigenous" simply means native. Why is that offensive?
And I'm trying to figure out why we have assumed that Jason Castellano, the author of the bio, is American? -

I'm from Vemezuela and trust me this is a jungle(not litteraly), there are many ways as a country to grow up specially here, the problem is that venezuelans are a bunch animals, savages, barbarians!!! we as a country do not have the intention to stop being a third world country as we in fact are, yes there are great universities here with many careers but it is always the same we have a complete lack of vision. That's how other country people see us and sadly that's who we are

Im from Venezuela too and I respect your opinion, but find it incredibly unfair. "venezuelans are a bun2000ch (of) animals, savages, barbarians!! we as a country do not have the intention to stop being a third world..". If you are able to set your opinion here, then should I think of you as an animal?
The possibility of development will only begin when those who have the opportunity to live here begin to think about the country OTHER than a land of "barbarians". Youve surely read and sure, seen how many individuals bet everyday for the country they would like to live in: a BETTER one, with opportunities and justice for all.
Yes, that is hard.. I see it everyday in the streets of Caracas. But if we do not work for it, then who will?
Please think about it,

I truly believe that you are right, but I also beliave that the main problem with this country is that people don't want to work hard enough, they just don't, people don not love this country as they should becuase trust me this could be the greatest and biggest country of all but it requires HARD WORK from all of us and I've seen that no body wants to do so, people in here rather just asks polititians to give without working for it and then blame them for our own problen and keep themselves in ignorance. that's why we are where we are and have the president that we have. Beacuse although I'm working hard to change this view of life that venezuelans have I have seen that they don't want to change it. They prefer to do what they've been doing since the creation of this nation without learning from our own history and other countries history and regardless any intention to stop the great corruption that seems to be drowning us these days.
I'm glaad that we were able to exchage opinions respecfully. -

I've always heard that Venezuela is beautiful and I'm American. I can also find my own country and many others on a map (in response to someone else's post). There is also a very good chance that someone from America didn't even write her biography. Anyone could have made it up from anywhere in the world. Please don't judge so much.

Just because someone expresses their opinon against the U.S does not mean they are jealous, disregarding their opinions for jealousy is closed minded and an example to some of the opinons generated. Generalizing in t2000he defense of generalizing is pretty much hypocrisy, not so charming or fair. Just as much as i dislike hearing sterotypical junk about other countries or groups, I dislike seeing how people will think 'Americans' are a dumb, vengeful, fat, pompous population. People who possess these characteristics may happen to be the majority but that doesn't mean the minority should be disrespected just because we sometimes aren't heard or asked our opinion of how to opperate.
As far as i know, nobody appreciates being misrepresented so the content concerning: 'which is basically the only choice for Native American children from Venezuela' and the little repetitive parts about '..in a 3rd world country' and 'needless to say, Patricia's life was far from luxurious' you actually did not need to say as it seems irrelvant and has caused some conflict(even if unintentionally). It is always good to know anyone has bettered themself from "rags to riches" through a constructive and creative way though!
And i don't remember who asked but Native Americans refer to the first peoples of the Americas. And the 'Americas' are not the U.S.A and canada but North and South [[America]] -

Venezuela is definitely not a third world country. They describe Venezeual as an Italy with Spanish speaking people.
Uh-huh.
Get over it, it may not be a jungle but the country is still ridden in poverty. This is one of the most pointless, worthless threads ever. Latin Americans can be so damned annoying. -

Hi, here is a discussion about Venezuela, and I think taht some things are insultants. But they haven't said nothing about Guajira!! Guajira is NOT in Venezuela, is in Colombia!!! Then, the IMDB editors must write correctly where the beautiful Patricia was born. Thanks!

BUSIRACO78 The Goajira is a geographic place between Venezuela and Colombia, mostly arround the Penninsula (De la Guajira) even some natives people (Guajiros) share both nationalities, so the statement about Venezuelan Guajira is correct Patricia is Venezuelan and with native Guajira blood just check by yourself in a Atlas or a good Map.. thanks

Well then, Americans talk about us living in a 3rd world country (I think this is funny, I thought we lived in the same world, didn't know there were 3 of them) like living in poverty, miserably, without opportunities, etc, and we souldn't get offended??
Then, they say we are jealous, they say America is paradise on earth, they are proud of having thinks like Nike, Levis and Hollywood as their cultural references, say that they live in the only 1st world country on earth (who wrote this probably doesn't know Europe), have a neonazi Bush as a president (lot worse than Chavez), and still wonder why we call them morons??
Yeah, that's something to be proud of
